Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

Rachel Reeves' Budget was a damp squib, delivering austerity by stealth. There was no vision, and no investment. There was just fear of the City of London. In this video, I ask why the Chancellor has surrendered economic power to finance. youtu.be/6pTpT_uB_4M?...

I don't set off to post so much critical comment about Labour. But honestly, there's just so much it's getting wrong.
And if it seriously wants to inflict its nonsense decisions on Scotland by taking over our Government with Sarwar as FM (seriously!), then I feel obliged to highlight this guff 😞

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Ludo(he's a Leonburger), in the back there, was left alone in the woods for god knows how long. When we rescued him he was tick ridden, full of worms, mange, just a mess. He's still a bit skittish around some people and scared to death of loud noises, but what a great pup. In general, people suck.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
