It's legitimately astonishing how MUCH wealth has been concentrated at the top and how much compensation has stagnated, if not rolled back, during that time.
But ANY pushback on the rich and corporations is doomed to failure, right?
Now, pay is capped at $23/hr maximum, folks don't get 1.5x pay on Sundays, there's little to no benefits, and going into management (away from union protection) is the only way to become a full-time employee.
The company made $4.6 billion in revenue LAST YEAR.
One employee went from 40 hrs, 5 days a week to 24 hrs, 6 days a week. No overtime pay, no Sunday pay, which was 1.5x.
Anyone who didn't sign or complained were viewed as 'refusing hours', which gave the company cover to further slash hours.
Had a chat with folks who had been working at my neighborhood grocery store 20+ years.
When they started (in 2000) pay was capped at $18/hr, which was good money back then.
Then the store cut pay for most unionized employees by $5/hr, slashed benefits, cut hours to part-time.

I spent 17 hours creating a primer on Native American political issues and culture. I would like to share it as a resource for my non-Native followers: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_2k-ZVwFfhlPoAR2h0LO4U3EwZMrN60iSKCoI2Qn89w/edit

Nothing sets the tone for Monday quite like getting a call from a collection agent about your Mom's overdraft fees for a bank account that was closed in January without my knowledge.
I don't know what I've done to earn the karma for a mom like this, but I hope the debt is paid.

This is a good point.
When anti-vaxxers cite their freedoms, constitutional rights, and–the whitest thing of all–the Founding Fathers to rail against vaccine mandates, do they know what they're talking about?
What if I told you this happens EXACTLY every 100 years?

Thinking about @ClubAstronomy@twitter.com this morning, which gifted the world with this all-time great sketch.
I would have LOVED to see what they would do for a season 2. Pour one out for this show!
Actually, just thinking about George Takei giving me a disappointed stare filled me with an existential dread I didn't know was possible.
Thank goodness I've already voted! PLEASE VOTE if you live in CA. Our state's continued success depends on it!
RT @GeorgeTakei@twitter.com
Newsom supporters: If that ballot for California’s recall is still sitting on your counter unmailed, you are disappointing me. You don’t want to disappoint me, do you?
Vote No. Do it today if you haven’t done it yet. No excuses!
