Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

France’s mandated profit-sharing distributes excess profits to workers. This paper shows that the policy raises the labor share and reduces the profit share, with little to no effect on investment, productivity, etc academic.oup.com/qje/advance-...

$JOURNAL ARTICLE ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The Effects of Mandatory Profit-Sharing on Workers and Firms: Evidence from France Get access > Elio Nimier-David X, David Sraer X, David Thesmar X The Quarterly Journal of Economics, qjag022, https://doi.org/10.1093/qje/qjag022 Published: 24 April 2026 66 Cite • Permissions * Share v Abstract Since 1967, all French firms with more than 100 employees have been required to share a fraction of their excess profits with their employees. Through this scheme, firms with excess profits distribute, on average, 10.5% of their pre-tax income to workers. In 1990, the eligibility threshold was reduced to 50 employees. We exploit this regulatory change to identify the effects of mandated profit-sharing on firms and their employees. The cost of mandated profit-sharing for firms is evident in the significant bunching at the 100-employee threshold observed prior to the reform, which completely disappears post-reform. Using a difference-in-differences strategy, we find that, at the firm level, mandated profit-sharing (a) increases the labor share by 1.8 percentage points, (b) reduces the profit share by 1.4 percentage points, and (c) has small to non-existent effects on investment and productivity. At the employee level, mandated profit-sharing increases lower-skilled workers' total compensation and leaves high-skilled workers' total compensation unchanged. Overall, mandated profit-sharing redistributes excess profits to lower-skilled workers in the firm without generating significant distortions or productivity effects.$

a. Trump isn't announcing a pause on strikes. He's saying he's postponing a possible war crime - strikes on Iran's civilian energy infrastructure. b. Also, this isn't a message to Iran. It's a panicky message to the markets: "No war escalation until markets close on Friday".

Israeli and U.S. violence and terror must STOP NOW! Millions of civilians are being displaced, bombed, killed, starved, and subjected to chemical attacks before the world’s eyes. ACT NOW. ✊🏽🇵🇸🇮🇷🇱🇧 Freedom for all peoples living under occupation and exploitation.

"Israeli ceasefires mean 'you cease, we fire.'"
Refaat Alareer
Israel and the U.S. escalate violence and terror across Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine.

While Israel continues stealing Palestinian homes and land, besieging and starving entire populations, and killing Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, it escalates its terror and ground invasion in Lebanon with airstrikes on refugee camps, beaches, and neighbourhoods. Meanwhile, the U.S. ramps up its attacks on Iran with strikes in the thousands.
Both the U.S. and Israel operate with total impunity.

The first six days of the U.S. war against Iran cost over $11.3 billion - not including the massive military buildup across the SWA region ahead of the strikes.
Meanwhile, a preliminary Pentagon assessment determined that a U.S. missile strike on an Iranian girls’ school on February 28 killed 168 children and 14 teachers.
The price for this escalation continues to be paid in civilian lives.

Across Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon, Israel and the U.S. target hospitals, houses, schools, journalists, medics, universities, refugee camps, and emergency response teams.
Ambulance and paramedics face "double-tap" strikes - attacks that hit once and then strike again when rescuers arrive.
This is not about "collateral damage". It's about Israel and the U.S. breaking societies and crushing any resistance to occupation and colonial power.
People must not only refuse silence. We must act.
