Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The crazy thing about humans is this:
We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth.
The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first.
That’s it.
The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice.
