The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
See the problem?

Onion bolts can still be used!
I will be making an onion bloom vinegar and olive oil with the blossoms and smaller shoots, then I will be dehydrating the larger stalks for spice blends and soups! They taste like a shallot!

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
