This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

I work for a politician who would never even cut a line at Starbucks so this is insane.
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

California thrives; GOP wage fears #econsky
Republicans won’t raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economy—hasn’t budged since 2009.
California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast food—and in cities like West Hollywood, it’s $19.61.
No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.

Not only is California the 4th largest economy in the world—it’s growing faster than any of the top three: U.S., China, and Germany.

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

On a recent hike a question occurred to me: How many trees are there on the planet? I did some searching, and found a 2015 paper I vaguely remembered. The paper estimated 3 trillion trees globally. Then I went down rabbit hole trying to figure out what (if anything) that number means. (🧵: 1/4)
