If starbucks paid employees in some kind of direct relationship with total growth, that growth wouldn't have happened in the first place because of static overhead costs. Also, nobody would become a plumber or an electrician if they can make fifty times more at starbucks. And then society doesn't function because there are no more plumbers or electricians, and I sure as shit don't want to learn how to be one.

Corporations making lots of money isn't just automatically evil and greedy; there are myriad other factors to consider.

Entirely too earnest when the figures begin with the bottom of stock prices in anticipation of the Covid crash.

I'm not wording this right...

US economy is around 25% of the world’s but our stock market is 59-60% of market capitalization of the entire global stock market

1. Invest in international index funds (if you’re particular about avoiding China, they make those too)
2. there’s a lot of money at the top and has been for some time that doesn’t “trickle down”

Solution: Destroy China and rebuild the US as the global manufacturing hub. We gave it away, we can take it back.

Santos admits he dressed up as a woman for ‘fun,’ but denies being a drag queen might be the best Fox News headline I've seen in a while.

Weird how they ran a groomer. Groomer is found out, then is protected by the people who supposedly dont like groomers.

The price of your kids is a vote.

I'm talking about Roy Moore.

This santos thing is just classic GOP. Grab em by the pussy, right?
