Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

My family volunteers at our local foodbank & it’s fucking FUN. A huge “secret” about volunteering is that it’s extremely fun & you meet AMAZING ppl. My wife & I met volunteering 21 yrs ago & what started as horny courtship is now a marriage entering its 3rd decade. So BE SELFISH & volunteer!❤️
