These privileged frat bros gang raped a girl and invited others to join in for SEVEN HOURS. The story was buried, only two were expelled, and we are only hearing about it now because the victim is suing. Cornell, the police, and the system protected them. The Cornell Seven:

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.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.
