CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

This... it's like it was written for me.

Little Reminder
Best mental reset l've learned:

If your mind is loud - Write.
If your mind is empty - Read.
If your mind is racing - Walk.
If your mind is tired - Sleep.
If your mind is sharp - Build.
Most problems are just mismatched energy.
Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

This is John Roberts long-term plan. He has always wanted this.
Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down.

That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know it
And they don't want you to notice.

Please pay attention. If I (77yo) didn't have Social Security, into which I paid for over 60 years, I'd be in a world of hurt.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.

At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. 

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

We can’t restore trust in government without banning stock trading in Congress. Senator @Ossoff.bsky.social and I just reintroduced our bill to do exactly that.
