When young Beka Saw wanted to hand deliver her letter she was met with security guards and a closed gate. She traveled more than 4000 miles.❤️
I tooted about this letter on my JdeB account a few days ago (#AmazonDestruction Oct 14).
The human beings behind the big corporate think they are to fine to meet with a lowly casualty, victim of their opulence.
The #Cargill -MacMillans family cannot escape responsibility for the destruction that gave them their riches.
#Capitalism is failing human kind.
#Oligarchs are sh***ing on 99,99 % of the population.
