[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

How many more examples of price gouging corporate market manipulation do we need to see before we actually do something about this profiteering?

GOP removed housing regulations —housing collapsed

GOP removed railroad regulations—trains derailed

GOP removed banking regulations —banks went under

It’s almost like society needs rules to function?🤔 Stop deregulating billionaires. Start prosecuting those who commit fraud.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

I think it’s really important to highlight this *and* the fact that Biden’s DOT didn’t reinstate and strengthen regulations with a Democratic House and Senate.

They instead broke a rail strike when workers were blowing the whistle on being overworked and under regulated.

It’s important to note that these failures span different administrations and political parties. It’s a pro-corporation corruption problem.

East Palestine railroad derailment will have a significant negative impact on the health and wellbeing of the residents for decades and there is almost zero national media attention.

We need Congressional inquiry and direct action from @PeteButtigieg to address this tragedy.

A derailment & toxic chemical cloud from a train that went unregulated because of corporate lobbying & corruption should be the biggest story in America — but because media & politicians want everyone only focused on the culture war, it gets no attention

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Norfolk Southern, the company whose train derailed in Ohio and unleashed chemicals, made a record $12 billion in revenue last year.

Instead of investing in better safety measures, what did the company do? It authorized a $10 billion stock buyback.

Corporate greed, folks.

Lack of education makes you easier to exploit. They want us complacent so they can stay on top.

NEW: The IRS targeted low-income wage earners for audits vastly more than other American taxpayers in 2022. They were audited at a rate 5.5x higher than people in virtually every other tax bracket, per a new Syracuse University analysis.

My heart goes out to every Blue voter in a sea of red, who has fought to create a world you are proud to live in, but keep on getting shot down by not only your red neighbors who view you as lesser than, but fellow blues who deem you the butt of their jokes.

You deserve better
