There's no time in human history of appeasement working. A good comment to use when you hear people in Canada saying our government should work with the U.S while they are being absurd.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

A few days ago I had a discussion with the top executive of a corporation specializing in AI who told me not to worry and assured me that the chance of AI wiping out humanity is “no more than 10 percent.” I was astounded. Isn’t a 10 percent threat of extinction STILL too high?

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
