Amen to this

When the Press, Pundits, and Politicians start caring about poor children gunned down in their homes, schools, malls, movie theaters, and churches... ...I'll start giving a fuck about rich CEOs gunned down on the street.

When you've lost CEOs...

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Chief Executive Leadership Institute CEO Jeffrey Sonnenfeld says there will not be one Fortune 500 CEO supporting Donald Trump. This is wholly unprecedented. Retweet so all Americans see this shocking news. pic.twitter.com/X6w4OQFwqO

When you're the GOP nominee and you've lost CEOs...

Interesting from Andrew Sorkin - CEOs who were "Trump supporter-ish" and met with Trump yesterday came away concerned, because he was "remarkably meandering" and "could not keep a straight thought." pic.twitter.com/bNdxZL262Y

Strikes are the only real weapon working people have to fight back against exploitation

The media always talks about the impact of a labor strike in a way that demonizes workers and sides with CEOs, but rarely about the exploitation of workers that led to the strike in the first place.

This is your reminder that strikes are meant to be disruptive.#UnionStrong

A fair question

John Fetterman just asked the Silicon Valley Bank CEO if there should be work requirements for CEOs who crash banks and dear reader, I almost fell out of my chair.

Sticking with the unions

The point is not “we can’t let workers strike because it would be bad for the economy.”

The point is “we cannot let corrupt corporation heads exploit people who are so important to our nations economy.”

Union strong, always.

The blame game

When your boss's income has risen 937% since 1978 and yours has increased by only 5.7%, it's time to stop blaming immigrants for your woes.

This is what republicans have wrought

In what world does it makes sense that CEOs make 351 times as much as their workers?

A CEO and a republican politician walk into a bar...

After reading that despite accomplishing astonishingly little (nothing on the Zika virus, gun violence, and spending bills, et al) that republicans have set themselves up for a seven week recess beginning later this week (hey, wouldn't you like seven weeks off with pay during the summer?), it dawned on me that republican politicians are a lot like CEOs--they get paid an awful lot to accomplish very little, are convinced their ideas are working despite all evidence to the contrary, are self-centered assholes, and don't give a rat's ass about the people they serve.

No wonder republicans pander to CEOSs--it's like helping your brother.

Rich people hate you

How do I know this?  Let me count the ways:

• Although it's not as good as we would like, the unemployment rate is going down and more people are finding jobs.  Know who's not happy about that?  Rich people!  They want the Fed to cut interest rates so that jobs will stop being created.  No jobs being created, no need to increase wages--kind of like the myth of Sissyphus for the rest of us, though.  Keeping pushing that rock up the hill...oops, back down to the bottom....
• Want to guess who cut back on their charitable giving the most throughout the Great Recession?  Rich people!  Know why?  They've still got theirs and they don't give a shit that you lost yours because of their utter avarice and incompetence.  Easy come, easy go--as long as its the poor and the middle class losing.
• Remember how in high school it wasn't enough for the cool kids to be the most popular and and the best looking--they had to rag on the freaks and geeks, too?  Rich people never outgrew that--only now they lie about everything and demean the poor.
• Like sports?  Nice diversion, right?  The NBA is busy trying to turn Steph Curry and LeBron James into robots.  It's not bad enough that we have robots for bosses and robots reporting our news, now they want to turn our sports heroes into robots, too.  Missed shots and fouling out of the game?  That's so 20th century!
• We're working harder and longer than we did a generation ago--and not only is it killing us, it's killing the people we're responsible for.  Fred died on the job today?  Fuck it, have Wilma do his job and her job for the same money!  Rich people get richer, and we, um, die.
• You know the worst kind of rich people?  CEOs--man, these fuckers give Lucifer a run for his money when it comes to spreading evil on the unsuspecting masses.  And the shit they say--they're about as disgusted by us as they are by a dog turd.  Want to know the worse part?  They're not that smart nor that talented at their job--as evidenced by the link, they're just bigger assholes than the rest of us.
• And in the end, it probably doesn't much matter because we're all disposable to them anyway.  Hell, rich people even have a six step process to get the job done.  Nothing like knowing you're little more than a sopping Huggies diaper.

And yet despite the odds akin to a frog hitting a hole-in-one, so many of us keep on fighting the godless bastards for a fairer and more economically robust future.

On New Year's Eve, here's a toast to those who really deserve one:  us.

Peace,
