I guess I’m trying to work out, for myself, what the mechanism for changing this would be.

And yes. All the CEO’s make millions upon millions off the backs of working people things make me livid. No person is “worth” tens of millions of dollars in a single year. No one.

to the other” that doesn’t actually begin to parse out a way to….

Can you see where I’m going?

I’ve obviously picked you for this convo for some reason. Lol!!

I’m not even sure I have managed to ask a coherent question.

For example I have, along the way, gleaned some understanding the CEO “pay” isn’t just a salary the way working people think of a salary. It is also stock things?

So if we say CEO got xx million/year and that’s xx percentage above the worker paid the least….it looks like “just move from one column

I like this analysis a lot. It looks very math-y. I also always have a sense that the gross oversimplification we do around these conversations doesn’t help us change the outcome.

Just spitballing here. I’m a simpleton when it comes to biz finance.

He did say he’d release it and has no problem doing so. Would love to see some follow through on that.

Only two?!!!

So, having reviewed some photos from Biden’s term and the Obama’s I can say that Michelle Obama has the best taste and also that decorating the White House for the holidays is largely an experiment in hideous over indulgence.

Hire some Hallmark set dressers, PLEASE!

Could it be uglier? Sure!

Not by much though.

The way I heard this in Peter Falk’s voice just now.

Thou shalt not pretend that you're at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

This reminds me of that time we learned the president was a pedophile. And then realized creepy old folks are creepy and didn’t force our own kids to just let the creepers creep. Yeah. Like that.

Stupid is as stupid does. That’s what Forrest’s mama always said.

I love to see it! May all these 💩 dominoes fall.

It’s about damn time.

Do ICE next

This is a damn important thing to remember. It’s all well & good to avoid Black Friday from a place of comfort, or a place of ethics, which I applaud, but for folks taking advantage of sales to get things they need? No shame, only solidarity in working for better wages & quality of living for all.

This is my kind of good trouble.

The one thing she had at all going for her redemption arc; speaking on behalf of victims. To desert her position prior to doing this is…well probably on point for her, honestly.

When a judge rules your city's dragnet surveillance program is illegal, this is the correct response: "SMUD will happily comply with the court’s decision." asamnews.com/2025/11/21/...

@Acyn Mamdani: I have spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide and our government funding it and I shared about the concern that New Yorkers of wanting their tax dollars to go to the benefit of New Yorkers and what we see right now we are in the ninth consecutive year of children being homeless…

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.

I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

With new ordinance, Santa Fe becomes first city to tie minimum wage to rental costs SANTA FE — The Santa Fe City Council voted on Wednesday to raise its minimum wage from $15 an hour to $17.50 in 2027, eliciting praise from workers’ rights advocates

Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent.

The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision.

Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

I noticed a technicality in one of the broadcast news reports. Made me think there’s a loophole for “classified” docs - aka anything containing anything about djt. 😒

I don't expect the complete Epstein files within 30 days from this, but I find it likely the various stunts attempted to delay it—some rich pedo sues to prevent release! FBI claims ongoing investigation! etc—continue to cause problems for Trump, and that more and more comes out over time.

Wondering how all this lands with the whole presidential immunity nonsense and its options for interpretation

Report Shows How GOP Health Care Scheme Would Further Enrich Insurance Giants Trump doubled down on the idea of funding health savings accounts instead of extending the enhanced ACA tax credits.

Trump has made a show of criticizing insurance company greed as they stand firm against extending Affordable Care Act tax credits and offer ill-formed alternatives. But a report published by Sen. Ron Wyden explains how a scheme endorsed by Trump would further enrich insurance giants and big banks.

BURN! 🔥

LA committee votes to explore canceling ‘mansion tax’ for Palisades homeowners If the post-fire exemption goes through, homeowners selling properties worth more than $5.3 million would not be subject to the tax under Measure ULA.

It was also brought to my attention that many of the homes have been in the family for a long time and potentially have a tax assessment from 1970s so paying the measure ULA tax would potentially have them paying a more equitable tax.
