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"?

I say this to add that it has been so well eradicated most younger people do not know much about polio or the devastating side effects if one survived. Assymetric paralysis, muscle wasting, bone deformities.

Everyonce in awhile I encounter someone with mobility issues, one leg super shorter than the other, platform shoes. The odd time I mentioned to a loved one that based on their age, they probably had polio as a youth. Explained why I believed so and my loved ones had no idea that was a thing.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

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.

It’s disgusting we the people have allowed this obvious theft of tax dollars to shore up these corporations while the fat cats at the top of the corporations are being paid ridiculous amounts of money. That’s when it becomes obvious our gov officials are working for the wealthy and not the workers!
