CEOs make 339x more than their median worker

The year before, it was 311x.

Record profits led to record CEO pay hikes but inflation-adjusted pay cuts for workers. So what do you think will happen if profits go down?

The Supreme Court produced more conservative decisions this term than at any time since 1931.

In 62% of the decisions, conservatives prevailed — and often in dramatic ways, data shows. https://t.co/6hLSOvmIOD

Corporate greed is Amazon increasing its profits by 75% last year to a record $35 billion, denying workers a $3 raise, illegally underpaying drivers and blaming a $20 price hike in a Prime membership on "inflation" while Jeff Bezos became $81 billion richer during the pandemic.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

2021 Profits:

Amazon:⬆️75% to $35 billion
Netflix:⬆️96% to $5.3 billion
Nike:⬆️125% to $5.7 billion
FedEx:⬆️307% to $5.2 billion

2022 Price Hikes:

Amazon Prime:⬆️16.8%
Netflix Subscription:⬆️10.7%
Nike:⬆️10.5%
FedEx:⬆️5.9%-7.9%

Don't cite inflation. Cite corporate greed.

Alas, #Sondheim's magical Blackwing pencil is stilled. His breathtaking dexterity with the language set a new bar for all writers, not just lyricists. But even more remarkable was his insight into the human condition, as I wrote in this 2000 appreciation: https://t.co/o1qei36TW2

What they said. 😖

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

While obviously important, education isn't "the only vehicle for social welfare & human empowerment" or "a substitute for fair wages, better working conditions, or worker bargaining power, nor is it a path to attaining them."
