This:
"we can't set a $15 min wage across the country because it's cheaper to live in some areas" "we will cut off $1,400 checks at $50,000 across the country, even if you live in an area where $50k is low-income"
The total wealth of 64 billionaire sports barons shot up by $98.5 billion during the pandemic; 26 of them got $9 billion in taxpayer subsidies. Meanwhile, the rest of the country got $1,800 to survive a year-long crisis. Socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the rest.
Amazon workers have the right to form a union. Anti-union tactics like these, especially from a trillion-dollar company trying to disrupt essential workers from organizing for better wages and dignified working conditions in a pandemic, are wrong.
NEW: Amazon workers are exposing what's happening in Alabama. They say Amazon is forcing them into anti-union meetings, texting them up to 5x daily, putting messages in bathrooms, even changing traffic light patterns to harm union organizing.
Wall Street and stock market are metaphors for a society rotting from self-indulgence, greed, widening inequality, and financial entrepreneurship that builds nothing, improves nothing, creates nothing, and solves nothing, but merely moves money from one set of pockets to another.
Well that escalated steadily for four years.
When one of the major business organizations in America calls for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, we're in new territory, friends.
The National Association of Manufacturers, a major business group in Washington, D.C., has issued a statement saying Vice President Pence should "seriously consider" invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, @edokeefe reports cbsnews.com/live-updates/e…
If there's any question as to how this was allowed to happen...
Police officers are taking selfies with the domestic terrorists. This is the opus of American systemic racism in smart phone form. #Trump #DC #WashingtonDC
This ruling, and the Biden-Harris victory, make it easy to believe our work is done. But this fight is far from over. We need to keep pressure on Biden-Harris to combat the attacks on social justice. To understand how and why, listen to @IMKC_podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/31-…
End the legalized bribery we call "campaign contributions." How? Check out @WolfPAChq. Representative government is possible, if we stand up for it.
While Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans refused to provide adequate relief for working families facing economic desperation, they had no problem giving a $5 billion, 100% tax deduction to CEOs for a 3-martini lunch. You got it. The GOP loves corporate socialism for the rich.
Poverty is a policy choice. Decision makers choose to subsidize the wealthy and reward exploitation like they choose to give out $600 to people struggling through a pandemic.
How is it that giving #workers the right to a living wage is controversial but giving #corporations the right to kill them without consequence isn't?
How is it that giving people $2000 checks is controversial but giving the Pentagon $2,000,000,000 a day isn't?
Alternative title: Senator worth $39,000,000 blocks survival checks for people in need.
The richest 0.1% own 17% of stocks The richest 1% own 50% of stocks The bottom 50% own 0.7% of stocks Repeat after me: The stock market is not the economy.
Remember, Congress must spend $3-4.5 trillion to provide sufficient economic relief. Their current proposal isn't even close to enough.
