“Imagine if we truly understand complex whale communication & can extend our term ‘language’ to them. Such breakthroughs would not only rewrite biology textbooks but also fundamentally redefine what it means to be human & pave the way to instituting new protections for whales, the ocean & beyond”🧪

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

‼️ UNBELIEVABLE RESULTS‼️ Hold my baguette while I count the people on bikes! How did Paris increase cycling by 240% in a few short years?

Still a bit of color. And a bit of light.

Cities are what we imagine them to be. And what we're not giving away to for-profit entities.

You can work an extra job, so you'll make a few more dollars. They can do nothing and the capital they accumulated will make them more millions/day. So yes, you can totally climb that ladder, if you work hard enough...
In order to get equal opportunities, we need to dismantle this bllsht system.
The wealthiest 10% of US families have 69% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom 50% have only 6%, and half of that is stuck in real estate—which can't cover the costs of grocery bills or other needs.

59% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

It's not money and it's not power.
It's about caring.
The greatest quality in a man is when you have the power to destroy, but choose to love, to help, to build, to cooperate.

Some deep breaths are needed these days. We need to find the energy and the means to resist and push back against the 1%, to stop them from dragging us into the dark ages of cruel kings and no laws.

We are actually witnessing the return to a feudal form of capitalism. When a few have all the money and they also make the rules.
The middle ages were not a good time for everyday people. It's insane some voters imagine supporting billionaires in dismantling democracies is good for them.

Insane days.
Pushing back is essential.
