Contributor: Corporations with big pay disparities have been silent as ICE detains their workers
The 'Low-Wage 100' companies are also acquiescing as the Trump administration strips workers' healthcare and food stamps to pay for handouts to CEOs and other wealthy people.

The annual shareholder proposal season is complete, and Catholic sisters say the resolutions they put forth scored resounding victories. Of course, the sisters don't score these things the way average investors do.

Earlier this month I was shadowed by a reporter at my volunteer ministry at Delaney Hall. It was released today ... perfect timing in the midst of what is going on this week. Sadly GEO group and ICE are retaliating against the detainees and families by canceling visitation this week.

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-...

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.

Your perennial reminder that, had the Bush and Trump tax cuts never been enacted, debt/GDP would be declining indefinitely instead of rising (dashed blue is above dashed orange). Yes, this graph first assumes a patched AMT at Clinton tax code.

An economist friend passes along this graph of energy costs. He says, "Given this history, it is more than a little ironic that renewable energy is derided by fossil-fuel proponents as 'unreliable.'”
Chart of relative energy costs since 2010 shows a steady decline in wind and solar vs wild oscillations in the price of oil due to geopolitical events like the current war in Iran.

Statement of Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, on Standing with Immigrants
Oct. 21, 2025
My dear brothers and sisters, today I speak to you as your shepherd, but also as a fellow pilgrim who shares the pain of many of our immigrant communities. Families are being torn apart. Children are left in fear, and communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants.
We stand with a mother who crosses borders to feed her children. We stand with the father who labors in silence to build a better future. We stand with the young person who dreams of safety and a better future. Our parishes and schools will not turn away those who seek comfort, and we will not be silent when dignity is denied in the enforcement of the law, it is essential that we respect the dignity of every human being.
Now I want to say something directly to those immigrants without documents. Most of you have been here for years. You have worked hard. You have raised families. You have contributed to this nation. You have earned our respect. As the Archbishop of Chicago, I will insist that you be treated with dignity. Americans should not forget that we all come from immigrant families.
You are our brothers and sisters. We stand with you.
God bless you all.
