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.

Donald Trump has given the management of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Strategic Storage Partners, LLC, a little-known company whose "headquarters" is registered to this $1.6 million house in Franktown, Colorado.

And the government is paying them $1.4 billion.

Seems super shady.

This is the right idea. Law students everywhere should be doing this.
🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

NEW: A federal judge in Massachusetts has granted a temporary restraining order barring the Trump administration from deporting any person to a country they are not a national of (so-called 'third country removals') without written notice and an opportunity to apply for protection from that country.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Vaush is 100% correct here. They're intentionally tanking the economy so the broligarchy can buy it all up.

The mortgage crash has private equity buying up private homes like crazy. You're going to see that on steroids. Everyone but 100 people are going to lose.
It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.

Mexico out negotiated Trump. Mex gets to do a troop rotation or add additional troops to the already existing 10 to 20 thousand troops at the border. Trump caved and lifted the tariffs and is doing a victory lap for accomplishing.... *checks notes* securing Mexican defences against the US.

Trump starts pointless trade war.

Canada threatens to retaliate by withholding electricity from the US.

Trump’s press sec says this is fine because Jesus didn’t have electricity.

Literally the dumbest possible timeline.

We're sad to report that prolific cartoon voice actress Morgan Lofting has passed away. Best known for playing the Baroness in the G.I. Joe cartoon, she also played several characters in the original Transformers cartoon, including female Autobot sharpshooter Moonracer.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
