Turn the UN building into condos. A raffle provided winners come up with $50k for remodeling. EVERYONE in the US should be eligible for this Manhattan address. We ALL paid for it.

cuts in excess of 50 percent in U.S. funding for U.N. programs, signaling an unprecedented retreat by President Donald Trump’s administration from international operations that keep the peace, provide vaccines for children, monitor rogue nuclear weapons programs, and promote peace talks...Isn't it strange how nothing good can ever happen in the world unless it entails the United States absorbing a grossly disproportionate share of the cost?
How wicked of the US to seek policies which would move the US closer to paying a fair share of the UN budget!

Bolton says we should get the US out of the UN but keep the HQ here so we can keep an eye on them.

Once their payments are cut, the UN can worry about their own salaries. We don’t need to micromanage their finances.

They do so much good. Vaccines for children. Peace talks. What were the other things? Plenty of free lunches and R & R for stupid lazy jugheaded fat-ass cry-babies like Colum Lynch.
To: Bookshelf
The other nations need to contribute more. We are over burdened.
Salaries and perks are outlandish. I had a friend who worked for the UN outside the US and they paid the full tuition for his kids to go to Norte Dame and Northwestern. Four of them. He couldn’t afford to leave them.
