This is shocking. I know this election was one of the most complicated elections in history, but I never imagined it would be THIS bad! edit: sorry that was 272. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48083051
My heart goes out to all Indonesians, however, we - the tax payers in America have some critical budget problems of our own, poor & destitute w/in our 'sovereign borders' ... & fiscal obligations on the 'home front'... (Can U take our 'illegal' detained "immigrants"?) - Perhaps then we can talk... We - the tax payers in America are NOT the World's ATM... (atleast while Trump is POTUS)... Tax us less & absolutely U will see the 'conservatives' in America voluntarily meeting all of your fiscal woes... (don't count on a Dem. Admin doing the same Indonesia)...
Yes this is shocking, I would hope in addition to financial compensation they will also review the working conditions so it does not happen again.
