What unions have consistently shown the public is that the people getting paid the most money *AREN’T* those who actually determine a company’s success or even make any sort of contribution to society. Regular, working-class Americans do. Upper management and execs are, in the grand scheme, worthless. What they do is f…

The sad thing, if he wasn’t already a racist ultra-nationalist piece of shit before going to prison, he almost certainly will be one when he gets released. Assuming, of course, he even gets convicted for the lesser charge than what he deserves. Because you can’t accidentally choke someone to death (other than…

It’s amazing how quickly ‘essential workers’ went from being ‘essential,’ when countries around the world were struggling to keep running during the COVID pandemic, to being ‘low-wage’ or ‘unskilled’ or ‘grunt work’ or any other ‘not worth anything’ excuse to devalue the labor of people who are literally the lynchpin…

The TuckerMusk show— watch two quasi-grown ultra-racist white men dry humping each other to show just how alpha-male awesome they can be. Brought to you by the Twittershits — it’s like diarrhea for your brain!

The problem is that moving an entire theme park like Disney World is basically impossible. It cost far more to build than Disney can ever hope to get back, and rebuilding it somewhere else will be even more expensive. That’s why when businesses make threats about ‘leaving,’ if they’ve got significant investments in…

That’s funny, because every time economies tank, the very same wealthy capitalists who caused it to tank in the first place just happen to rake in obscene amounts of wealth and further consolidate their stranglehold on economies and governments. Like when the US housing market collapsed, wealthy capitalists who…

...missing at least a zero or two from that figure, particularly given the viciousness of the attacks she’s endured at the hands of Trump and his army of witless, immoral sycophants.

Not anywhere near the same extent. When your boss literally owns the home you live in, losing your job is losing your house and everything that goes with it. All at once.

If you choose to stand side by side with racists, you are a racist. If you have no problems associating with people espousing racist policies, you are a racist. If you’re willing to go along with racist agendas, you are a racist.

It should be noted that this is a feedback loop (which is itself part of another feedback loop).

It’s not about whether he’s trying to build a company town, or whether what he’s done would constitute one. It’s about the ugly, exploitative, abusive, and oppressive history of company towns, and why your ‘boss’ should never be the provider/owner of the roof over your head. That power dynamic only ever has one result…

It does present an interesting question: with as large a catalog as there is of classic, high-grossing films, why don’t studios do re-runs of their greatest hits more often? I mean, isn’t the ‘theater experience’ the whole market appeal of theaters, which makes the ‘newness’ of the film a secondary factor? It just has…

But because fossil fuels generate lots of profits for the select few who are monopolizing government agendas, laws, and policies, those deaths are just an acceptable cost of ‘doing business.’

Which, you know, have such a wonderous and healthy history in the US...

Well, by comparison to MGT or Boebert, she’s not Republican. But by comparison to Graham or McConnell, she is pretty Republican. Which is kind of the point and the problem. There is no “left” party in the US. What Americans call ‘Democrats’ these days are really just the moderates and centralists of 40-50 years ago,…

They’re all driving in that direction. Because maximizing profits is the only driving force that capitalism responds to, and all of these major media outlets are run and owned by billionaire capitalists with a capitalist’s agenda — maximizing profits.

Okay. Let’s go with another example: Musk’s annual salary is approximately zero. Yes, really. Well, $23k because it’s the minimum allowable under California law. He is paid almost exclusive in stocks and compensations. In 2021, the value of a portion of his stocks and compensations from Tesla, for 3 years of work, was…

The fact that you have no clue is precisely why it’s so hard to have an honest conversation of about fair wages, reasonable taxation, and so forth. I’ll give you three guesses who created that ‘don’t talk about your wages’ narrative, but you should only need one.

The $250m is *JUST* the salary. The majority of CEO earnings do *NOT* come from their salaries. It comes from stocks and compensations. So if he’s being paid $250m in salary, he’s being paid *AT LEAST* that much in stocks and compensations. So it’s not $250m vs $430m. It’s $430m vs $500m at minimum.

David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery, gets paid an annual salary of $250,000,000 per year and additional stocks and compensations on top of that. The math is real. It checks out.
