The CEO-to-worker pay ratio for S&P 500 companies was 285-to-1 last year.
And now these CEOs will get a tax cut of roughly $500K thanks to Trump’s big, ugly bill — 639x more than the median U.S. worker.
Is it any wonder so many people think the system is rigged?

The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."
This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.
