Conscious capitalism is the future.

It makes dollars and sense.

Take a look at Costco, they have a 7% turnover rate compared with Walmart’s 70%.

Happy employees make for excellent profits.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

IN ORDER TO SELL HIS RUSSIAN / N KOREAN STYLE FASCIST AUTHORITARIAN MILITANT POLICE STATE, Trump & cronies claimed on the campaign trail that they would deport "criminals, rapists, drug dealers, gang members" etc. But as we can all see with our own eyes, Trump is FOREVER DESTROYING INNOCENT PEOPLE.

Gunning down people you are choosing to starve as they desperately seek food for their families shocks the conscience.

States should urgently act, including imposing sanctions and an arms embargo, to press Israel to stop exterminating Palestinians.

One of these lives is Sungida Rashid. Rashid went to a Boston hospital to have her first baby. But she died because Steward was so in debt that it couldn't pay its bills, and the vendor had repossessed the life-saving device Sungida needed.
