How Many Privatized Companies and Individuals are Making a Fortune From Torturing Children?

In the understandable horror with what is being done to the children by the Trump administration, what is getting lost is how much taxpayer money is being funneled to privatized corporations and individuals providing human warehouses and “services.” Ultimately, for some, it’s all about the money, no matter the human cost.

The fact that the underlying source of these mega-millions of dollars is the torture of children only exacerbates the horror.

Check this out...

Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc.(
@BoozAllen
): A huge infotech company which received a contract worth up to $100,457,166 for advising ICE with their ethnic cleansing campaign and concentration camp system.

Ethnic cleansing campaign and concentration camp system?! They have listed it right there! An "ethnic cleansing campaign". Could it be any clearer what their intentions are?

Every day I am more and more horrified by the actions of Trump and his administration. My head is spinning. I feel like I cannot psychologically keep up with this. I can't adjust quickly enough to what they are doing. It's too shocking.

It is a daily struggle to try to make sense to everything and keep all of the new information front and center. Never have I felt this way with any other administration in my entire long life.

Employees can stage walk-outs and protests. Consumers and other companies can boycott. No corporation should be able to enrich itself by funding human degradation and torture.
