Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

My town elected three Democrats yesterday to the town board. That's the first time in the 32 years I lived here that there has been a Democratic majority on the board.

So do you think that picking a woman from Venezuela scorches The Dotard's ego even more than if they had chosen Jane Goodall or José Andrés?

I guess I must have offended some guy posting here as @mikelowery1911.bsky.social because he posted that class war > gender war, which would seem to indicate that working-class men never raped working-class women, or that capitalism predated rape. My comment didn't show up.

I don't spend a lot of time on BlueSky, so I don't know all the ins and outs. I can see when people respond to what I post, but I don't know exactly how to look at what they're responding to.

A general BlueSky question - I can see responses to things that I've posted in Notifications, but is there a way I can see the post that they're responding to, as well as the whole thread where I made the original comment?
