CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

What Ann Wagner has actually done for farmers: 1) Stood by while USAID was “fed into the wood chipper” destroying one of our largest soybean export vehicles 2) Stood by while Trump imported 300k metric tons of bad beef in the middle of calf sales undermining sales for the 3rd largest beef state

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social realizing Republicans are all about tax cuts for wealthy. How about admitting that Reagan was all about that Joe? Supply side economics has always been about this.

Well. Your fund transfers. As does your transcript. And your ability to graduate. Most universities have a “final 30 hours have to be at university”. How does that work with athletes?

Simple solution to NIL. Put money into a trust fund. Players get a living wage equivalent to the highest paid student scholarship. When they graduate, they get the trust fund. No Lamborghinis or bmw or houses. And if you transfer?

You want to get rid of head contact? Remove facemasks. See hair out the back of helmet? Pull it. It’s part of the uniform (or that used to be the rule). Change pass blocking back to using forearms. And make it the same 11 guys on both sides of the ball. You can sub a couple at a time only.

Why? Big business. Tv bombardment. College players out of control. Stupid salaries. Ridiculous behavior. And the thing is. The game is not any better. The play is not better or exciting. Everyone in NFL runs the same basic offense. Seen any wishbone in college?

I like football. It’s a hard game. It’s a tough game. It can bring out the best and worst in people at all levels. Simple things about the game make it tactically exciting. But I have never heard so many people say they are tired of college and pro football after a few weeks.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.
