It’s been 10 years since I took a million dollar pay cut to pay all staff at Gravity Payments a $70,000 minimum wage. People have wondered: How did it go?

We conducted a comprehensive study of everything that has happened since our 2015 announcement.

We are proof that paying living wages is good for both employees and businesses.

Since raising wages, our revenue and profits have soared, employees have started families while continuing to provide excellent customer service, and clients have become happier and stayed longer.

It worked so well that we raised the minimum to $80,000 and added an employee profit-sharing program.

Yet outside our company, it made no impact: no businesses followed suit, and the pay gap between workers and CEOs remains massive.

Australia surrendered its mineral wealth at 2% royalties while Norway collected 76% on oil and gas. The result? A $1.8 trillion Norwegian wealth fund and a captured Australian media that never asks why.

🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.”

🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable.

🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too.

🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs.

New Zealand’s seas are heating 34% faster than the global average. 🌊🔥

Acidifying waters, rising seas, vanishing life — 428 invasive species now thrive where native ones fade. The ocean around Aotearoa is warning us loudly.

Mother Earth is choking under emissions from oil giants like BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Shell, who’ve raked in massive profits while contributing heavily to climate change. These four companies are responsible for over 10% of global carbon emissions since 1965. In 2023 alone, they reported a combined $111.8 billion in profits—ExxonMobil at $38.6 billion, Chevron at $24.6 billion, Shell at $28 billion, and BP at $20.6 billion. It’s time to demand they invest in sustainability, not just shareholder payouts! 🚨 Be the first to like, comment, and share if you believe Big Oil must prioritize environmental responsibility! 💚

Seven solar companies most people haven’t heard of, are ALREADY providing more energy for the global economy than Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and BP: https://t.co/J8aYAmlQvH

We have the solutions. Time to dump the oil economy and implement them. #ActOnClimate

China has contributed far less to this crisis than the West.

Don’t listen to racists. We don’t save ourselves by pointing fingers at those chasing the consumerist trappings the West have indulged in for decades.

We save ourselves by maturing beyond these consumerist trappings.

Trump bans climate action.
EU buys $750 BILLION in US oil & gas.
New Zealand drills drills drills.

Climate pledges fall like dominoes & our kids’ futures burn before our eyes.

We’re allowing ourselves to be governed by bullies, cowards & fossil fuel shills.

We must stop the industrial hoovering up of vital krill in the southern oceans. This is a disaster in the making.

These are brothers, Maher and Malik, in Gaza. Like an entire generation of Palestinians, Israel has stripped them of a childhood, and people still defend it.

Well this is frightening.

As we overheat the oceans, Blue whales are under stress and are falling silent.

They are a warning of what is to come.

I have never felt so shaken.

Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch.

How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation campaign?

PS: Talking politics while dodging genocide perfectly meets the definition of doing nothing.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

Pass it on.

I’d not have expected this from the Daily Express ! Now, how about some Australian newspapers, if they can pause just a moment from fretting about Real Estate, Albo and the footy…
