Wendy's increased its net income by 70%, pays its CEO 532X more than its median worker & is spending $100 million on stock buybacks. Now it's blaming the rising price of a Frosty on inflation? No. The problem isn't the Wendy's worker who got a 50 cent raise. It's corporate greed.
Ever notice how we can always afford to spend $700,000,000,000+ annually on the military but universal health care and paid family leave is “too expensive”?
"Biden is causing rising gas prices!"
Exxon raked in $23,000,000,000 in profit last year.
Shell raked in $19,000,000,000 in profit last year.
Chevron raked in $15,600,000,000 in profit last year.
BP raked in $12,800,000,000 in profit last year.
This is oligarchy. This is greed. This is callousness. Last year, over 2 million people worldwide died of hunger. At the same time, the world’s 2,755 billionaires saw their wealth go up by $5 trillion – from $8.6 trillion to $13.8 trillion. This is why we need a tax on wealth.
.@POTUS, drug price reform is popular, effective, and urgent – and with your leadership, it has the support to pass the Senate. I’m asking you to use your #SOTU address to call for meaningful drug reform ASAP. Patients like me are counting on you to #LowerDrugPrices
@kaliereyno It has been repeatedly proven that safe staffing ratios affect nurse satisfaction, patient care, morbidity and mortality rates, and profits. There is no excuse for inadequate staffing anymore!

@DrTomori @JHUNursing@SafiyyahOkoye A6: Congress requests @JeffreyZients, COVID-19 Response Team Coordinator, investigate nurse contract agency profits while Pharma and Insurance companies have not been investigated. Nurses should encourage their representatives to encourage to dismiss this request.

@KylaCamil__ I agree! Becoming a member of your local ANA and advocating for standardization of staffing ratios is essential for improvement of the healthcare system!
@DrTomori @JHUNursing@SafiyyahOkoye A4: Local professional organizations give a voice to like-minded members to advocate for changes. Find your states ANA association:

@jnoel8223 I agree and I have recently started to speak up regarding policies I am passionate about! Here is a site that provides representatives and contact info!
@DrTomori @JHUNursing@SafiyyahOkoye I’ve recently written letters to my state representatives supporting the following bills:
Bill S.1567: https://t.co/4z8XgsB5uU
Bill H.R. 1195: https://t.co/R0oXPhCcA9

@JeffreyZients before you investigate nurse contract agencies profits investigate pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies. Over the past 10 years the largest pharmaceutical companies profited TRILLIONS while the average American fights to afford life saving medication.
