Reminder that 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.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Apple, do I have an idea for you. Make your trackpad and keyboard unresponsive to tiny fingers—specifically toddler fingers. The parents of the world will thank you 😅

It’s wrong American culture both glamorizes and infantilizes mothers but does little to support them or pregnant people. Formula shouldn’t be absurdly expensive. Breastmilk banks should exist. Changing stations, high chairs, and priority parking should be guaranteed in all public spaces.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.
They should support homeless people.
They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.
This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.
They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.
Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
