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?

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

Forever chemicals are a group of synthetic chemicals that do not break down easily in the environment or the human body.
Saying PFAS are linked to cancer is the understatement of the century.
Long-term exposure to PFAS will give you cancer eventually.
It’s practically a guarantee.
