Proposed Compensation Fund: Trump has discussed creating a formal compensation fund for rioters, suggesting they should be paid for "suffering," lost jobs, and lost income resulting from their prosecutions.

Want to get ripped of at Woolworths or Coles?

Buy the heavy reduced bottles of
Cussons
Radiant

(But don't worry, Accenture Australia will redesign the government's climate change risk website too, so they'll be ok.
And #AndrewJohnson, former CEO, has a #PSM.)
