Corporate greed is Pfizer tripling the price of Paxlovid to $1,390 a dose and quadrupling the price of its COVID vaccine to $115 while it made over $31 billion in profits last year and gave its CEO, Albert Bourla, $33 million in compensation — a 36% pay raise. Unacceptable.
@IANCOGNEATO My all time favorite. And blanchette in galutier backless and galliano with the hummingbird, uma in the lilac Prada that started it all, Nicole in chartreuse galliano. Duh!!!
there is a myth in europe that hedgehogs use their spines to carry fruit home. while this isn't true, people have believed it for millenia--in part because it's such a cute idea!!
in honor of harvest season, here are my fave medieval depictions of the hedgehog harvest 🍎🍎🍎
Walmart's CEO made $25.3 million last year.
That was 933x the median compensation of a Walmart employee.
The company also announced a $20 billion stock buyback program.
Yet Walmart just said it is cutting hourly pay for new hires.
Hello?
BREAKING: Diddy gives multiple artists on Bad Boy Records their publishing rights.
Including Ma$e, Faith Evans, The Lox, 112, the Notorious B.I.G.'s estate, and others. The total equaling to hundreds of millions of dollars according to TMZ.
I refuse to tolerate a system that lets the 500 richest people add $852 billion to their wealth in the past six months alone, but doesn’t raise the $7.25 federal minimum wage for over a decade.
One year ago today, Britney Spears released Hold Me Closer with Elton John.
The track marked her first single release in 6 years and immediately topped the iTunes charts in 51 countries. It debuted at #1 in Australia, #3 in both the UK and Canada, #6 in the US, and has amassed nearly 300 MILLION streams on Spotify.
She joined an elite league of just 12 artists who have achieved a Top 10 hit in the US across four or more decades, becoming the youngest to do so. Additionally, the song gave Elton his highest Hot 100 position in 25 years.
The world’s 500 richest people collectively added $852 billion to their fortunes during the first half of 2023.
That's an average of $14 million a day for each.
It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of extreme wealth concentration to continue.
