For those who want to know why Iran's nuclear deal was "bad"

It wasn't. Iran’s nuclear deal basically means that Iran accepted strict limits on its nuclear program in return for elimination of the sanctions that have been building up for a decade before the deal. Iran unplugged two-thirds of its centrifuges, shipped out 98% of its enriched uranium and filled its plutonium production reactor with concrete. They accepted extensive monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). IAEA has verified 10 times since the agreement that Iran has complied with its terms, so all nuclear-related sanctions were lifted in January 2016. Iran nuclear deal was working fine.

Capitalism, where the richest 1% hold about 47% of all privately held wealth in the United States, while the bottom 90% hold 73% of all debt. Prosperity where 15 million children in the United States, 21% of all childre n, live in families with incomes below the federal poverty threshold, a measurement that has been severely underestimating the needs of families for decades. Freedom in the U.S., where more black men are in prison today than were enslaved before the Civil War. A bundance in the U.S., where food waste is estimated at between 30-40% of the food supply and more than 45 million people, or 14.5% of all Americans, live below the poverty line. Wealth in the U.S., that only belongs to the rich corporations a
