Seattle Times editorial board complains about $30,000 bonus for Sound Transit head, but apparently had no problem with $50,000 bonuses for three Seattle police command staff (Barnes, Sayles, and Powell), all of them just thank-yous for taking top jobs here.

Sound Transit CEO's $30,000 bonus shows a big disconnect | Editorial
When private corporations award employees performance bonuses, that’s between the corporation and their shareholders. Not so with a public utility.

Did Americans finally remember right wing authoritarianism sucks and embrace the Democratic values we all hoped they would after seeing historic executive human rights abuses? Or are gas prices high? Much to ponder

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

When climate scientists say things are going to be horrendous, people find out many years later that we’re right. With this El Niño, the “find out” part will come in months.
