Here’s one of those giants that would rather take vs give back to better American communities; for the common good of all! Fed & Local government can change the process by creating guidelines that eliminate Corporate lobby quid pro quo💰in exchange for political favors!

Probably the same pharmaceutical companies that pedaled opiates to America, they are the real criminals but get a pass from the government

This is what the virus is about ... This is why they tried to discredit HCQ
