Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

New Yorkers should know that if Republican, Elise Stefanik, was our governor. she would be aligned with Trump and New Yorkers would not have SNAP benefits. Democratic Governor, Kathy Hochul, is funding SNAP benefits because she will not stand by and see her constituents go hungry. 💙

Tech companies replicate the tobacco and fossil fuel industries' efforts to distort the scientific record.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.
There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.
