The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

Not surprisingly that @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has been completely silent about this heroic city. Playing neutral to win another office isn’t a good strategy, particularly when you alienate your own, very large, very loud, very liberal state.

No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.
Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.
“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

I’m no lawyer, but if a president doesn’t support the Constitution, then maybe he should just run for mayor instead. We’ve got a country to run, not a guessing game about the rules. If a president’s not sure if he’s supposed to support it, maybe it’s time we put the ‘fine print’ in big bold letters.

@StephenM the king of gaslighting and the face of evil.
They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.
