The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Here I am at the demonstration in Sacramento (3-1/2 hours round trip) where more than a 1000 people showed up and my sign was a big hit:

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

And you can add the implementation of Universal Basic Income because we have to DO SOMETHING about the jobs AI is going to make disappear. We have to do it now so that it's in place when the proverbial hits the fan.

good to see you over here on bluesky Andrew. Have you finally realized Elon's platform is a cesspool?

I wake up in the morning. I sit at my computer. The internet screams at me that the world is on fire. I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase

I will never cease to be amazed by books. Seriously. Just think about it; thousands of people read the same book, but in everyone’s brain’s the characters look different, the setting changes etc. We are all reading the same thing, but it's so unique to each of us.
That is a beautiful thing.

The big story today is the Matt Gaetz report.

The bigger story should be the incoming President, despite knowing what Gaetz is, because everyone in Congress knew, still wanted to make him the Attorney General of the United States.

Never normalize his madness, his corruption. Even for a single day.

BRAAAAAAAAAAINS

The House Ethics Committee report just alleged that Gaetz paid a 17-year-old girl, a minor, to engage in sexual activity with him. But sure, Hammer of Justice. Got it.

2025 is the year we all stop putting up with the bullshit around us.

This article should be read by everyone. It highlights that the productivity that made the 1% super-rich has actually made the working class, who is responsible for said productivity, poorer. If salaries had kept pace with what happened in the 70s, workers would be making much more than $15 an hour.

A short 30 years later, here we are.
