Poppy garnered the family fortune building refineries for comrade Stalin came back to USA as a Capitalist anti communist even trying to pass off Eisenhower as a commie sympathizer Even Hollywood couldn't dream this family up they with their money try to subvert Democracy and install a plutocracy that answers to only Mammon.
Is there anyone fighting their 501c3 status? I would gladly contribute to, and support, a task force putting together a lawsuit. I am a retired non-profit executive (Assn of Fundraising Professionals); this blatant abuse of tax-exempt status is not only unethical, but illegal.
The EPA is subject solely to the whim of the President, and that needs to stop. Richard Nixon brought the EPA into being after killing every other scientific advisory or regulatory office in government.
The EPA will never really be able to do its job without proper funding and a greater degree of autonomy.
Apparently $1,000 is a negligible sum to you; God bless your good fortune. :-)
As for that $11 billion, just think of what it could buy in terms of improved health and quality of life for all Americans...oh, I forgot, that's <i>socialism.</i> Bite my tongue.
I am in it, and this point about necessarily passing increased commodity costs down to the consumer is not always true. Product managers have a short term incentive to make more profit any way they can regardless of cost increases or decreases to commodities. If they make more bottom line, they get more bonus, they get promoted faster. Tactics to make packaging appear deceptively larger are called package improvements. Formulation changes for food that still legally meet quality claims on the packaging but use cheaper less beneficial ingredients are seen as "opportunities" to increase the profit margin of the product. When commodity prices go down, like the fluctuating price of coffee for example, the manufacturers hold off as long as they can watching the competition every day to see how long they can use the expensive commodity excuse until they "have to" reduce the cost for the consumer. And then the cost reduction is symbolic, never really proportional to the actual decrease. That is just part of the real world behind food manufacturing.
