Why the hell is it “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts”?

1 in 14 migrant workers at a northern WI green bean plant died of COVID after company officials and gov regulators failed to take critical measures to protect employees during one of the deadliest outbreaks in the US food processing industry jsonline.com/in-depth/news/… via @mariajpsl

it's always "freeloading workers need to give up their $300 unemployment checks" and never "freeloading corporations need to give up their $1.9 trillion in tax breaks"

AT&T cut 42,000 jobs since 2017. Since then it saved $30 billion through tax cuts, spent $152 billion to buy DirectTV & Time Warner, gave investors $44 billion in dividends & gave its ex-CEO a $64M pension. Now it's buying Discovery. There's always money, just not for workers.

Your reminder that the corporate share of federal tax revenue dropped from 32% in 1952 to 7% in 2020.

I've worked straight through every day of the pandemic at a stable middle class wage and I've never once thought "boy those folks getting by on unemployment sure have it good," so I dunno maybe UI is only an incentive not to work if the work was exploitative to begin with

A Reminder

That awkward moment when a meme is accurate AF.

President Biden should consider granting #Clemency4Reality. Pass it on. 💙🇺🇸❤️🙏 #FreeRealityWinner

@MooseAllain This is going in my Gigglethought pile immediately.

My 13yo son bought a long spoon (two feet long, whittled from ash) from a makers fair recently. Asked what it's for he replied "For feeding a baby you're frightened of".

The state of Arkansas murdered a man.

Still don’t get how people think a guaranteed living wage destroys the economy but the wealthy withholding trillions in taxes doesn’t.

A tragedy in 3 acts:

Forget the fact that it’s Elon Musk why the fuck is a CEO hosting Saturday Night Live lol

If y’all hear my son call me and I’m not around, please help him...

There's no such thing as a "labor shortage" There are industries and companies that refuse to pay people enough to work there
