The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Remembering that time in 2006 when I invited someone to come give a philosophy talk, offered our normal $500 honorarium, & got a polite reply if, "Because you are a friend, I will only ask for $5000." We had never met. We never did meet. But that's how we became friends.

Savoring that moment in a meeting when an administrator pulls up income/career data on graduates of a "practical" business degree & pulls up, on an impulse, Philosophy as an impractical degree for comparison.
Friends, the data quite emphatically did not show what he thought they would show.

Weighing in at 827 pages and 2 1/4 inches, our Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the 19th Century is HERE! Huge thanks to @oupphilosophy.bsky.social and our 50+ authors. Restoring women to the philosophical canon is a matter of justice, but it is also better scholarship!
