Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.

Every woman I know with advanced degrees has dated this guy/met this guy at a party and he has implied how ignorant/stupid she actually was because she didn't recite the History of the Peloponnesian War from memory.
And then he's been blocked/avoided by every one of those women.

That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.
I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

That’s where FEMA comes in – providing billions of dollars to help with search & rescue, survivors’ needs, and debris removal.
