The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

Wasn't the war supposed to be well over by now? Seems like Trump has washed his hands of it. Gave Putin credibility on the world stage, handed them India due to 50% tariffs, China essentially knows he won't do anything if they invade Taiwan. Nobel Peace Prize? He did bring together R, C & I.🤦♂️
