Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.



I get how the phone can target ads by hearing and seeing me, but how is it showing me ads based on my thoughts? I can't be the only one noticing this.


I'm the CEO of the Obama Foundation. The Obama Presidential Center is an $850 million project in Jackson Park on the South Side of Chicago. It will be the most expensive presidential center in American history. We are building it with unpaid volunteers. I need to explain what community engagement means. Community engagement means the community provides the labor. The volunteer program launched in March. Seventy-five to one hundred "Community Ambassadors." They lead tours. They organize events. They train other volunteers. They do not receive compensation. My salary is $740,000. The architects earned $60 million. The general contractor earned over $200 million. The Community Ambassadors gain experience in building community. That is the phrase in the recruitment materials. I approved the recruitment materials. The median household income in the surrounding census tracts is $31,000. The volunteers come from these tracts. They commute to an $850 million building to work for free while the person who approved the volunteer program earns $740,000. I am the person who approved the volunteer program. We held a volunteer appreciation event. The catering company was paid. The event planner was paid. The photographer was paid. The volunteers were thanked. Thanked is not a form of compensation. Thanked is what you receive when you are not receiving compensation. That is community engagement.
