@@francispicurro9990 Do we send aid for tornadoes, however infrequent, to other countries? Tornadoes in the US are a frequent occurrence. Not a once in a decade earthquake or typhoon. I don’t consider a tornado a natural “disaster”. They happen almost every month. If there is an earthquake that destroys entire cities, they need LIFESAVING help that their governments don’t have the resources to give. Giving aid to a country that has been invaded by a GLOBAL MILITARY POWER is night and day. Also, the US is the wealthiest nation on earth.

That warehouse was built like it was built by Dollar Tree, or should I say $1.59 Tree, now?
Well, it explains why it's not the dollar store no more!! In california, it's the $1.25 store. And then you find stuff in there for over ten dollars
