Walmart and McDonaldโs are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year โ over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M โ 930x the company's median employee pay.

Since 2000, political donations from the richest 100 Americans have increased nearly 140x.
They collectively spent over $1B in 2024, amounting to 1 in every 13 dollars spent during the election.
Is it any wonder why so many regular people feel like they no longer have a voice?

One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.

Tesla Starts Accepting Cybertruck Trade-Ins โ According to Tesla, a Cybertruck Loses $35,000 Over 6,000 Miles ($5.6 Per Mile)
Tesla has reversed its policy barring Cybertruck trade-ins. A Cybertruck owner says Tesla offered him $65,400 for his $100,00 truck with 6,200 miles. This means, according to Tesla, a Cybertruck loses...
Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles.
I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc.
Unprecedented levels of flop!

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that theyโre not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.
