Increase in productivity since 1979: 93% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 34% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

LBJ’s quote carries so much more water nowadays. Especially when accompanied by sadism. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Thousands of America’s Wild Horses Vanish Into a Deadly Pipeline—And a $25 Sale Could Seal Their Fate
The helicopters appear first—a distant mechanical thunder rolling across the open range. Below, terrified mustangs break into a desperate run. Families that have roamed America’s public lands for generations scatter through clouds of dust as aircraft drive them toward corrals. The horses are then packed into metal trailers and hauled away, leaving the landscape suddenly, hauntingly empty. For thousands of animals, critics fear that journey does not end at a sanctuary or an adoptive home.

“We have also received deeply concerning eyewitness accounts that agents entered the business with guns drawn,” Reardon said in the statement. “This was an incredibly frightening and traumatic experience for the employees and customers inside the business, as well as those who witnessed what occurred.”
