A lot of charities are corrupted, and bullshit When I was in South East Asia last year doing some charity work, I was told not to bother donating to charities because the money rarely gets to the people who need it most. The middle men often pocket it themselves. If you want to donate, go straight to the facilities (places that allow the less fortunate to work for a fair wage etc) and hand them the money yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not guaranteed to go up forever, but they are being compensated much better than others ( starts with a ends with zon ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â yeah because Tesla pays so little. They pretty much start at $20 an hour. If anything they prove a company can pay more than just a livable wage of $15 and still be profitable.

Good for Amazon â Bernie helped make that happen by the way. And SO many workers still make so much less than that. What even is your point? Do you even know yourself?
