How monopolies control wages:
Amazon opened 48 new warehouses in New Jersey over the last 7 years.
In that time, wages for warehouse workers at all companies in NJ dropped from $53k to $44k.
If you think "I don't care what that company pays," know that it affects everyone.
Chipotle has closed the first store where employees tried to unionize.
Last year Chipotle gave its CEO a $24 million raise and paid him 2,898x more than their median employee. Then the company raised prices and blamed employee pay (the average worker makes $13,100).
Police officer Kim Potter just received 16 months and a $1,000 fine for the murder of Daunte Wright. In case anyone has forgotten, this is why Colin Kaepernick took a knee.
The #RittenhouseTrial displays yet again that our “justice” system is racist. How would this trial be going if he was a Black 17 yr old that crossed state lines illegally carrying an AR-15 and shot 3 white protesters? We need real justice in the legal system. This isn’t it.
