Never fully understood it till I saw this "An easy way to understand the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is to remember that 1 million seconds is 11.5 days, but 1 billion seconds is 31.7 YEARS" Income disparity is disgusting
Sociopathic is a perceptive word. Can it be stopped? There use to be all kinds of regulations controlling many aspects of different industries. Past republican Congress's managed to eliminate them all. The reagan pres era allowed the rich to start making changes that benefited their need for greed.
This is what we need to get across.
There is no need for struggle. There is enough resources to go around, if it wasn’t for the greed of some who hoard. There is no reason for billionaires. They should not exist. No reason to pay workers a pittance and CEOs millions in bonuses on top of millions!
Capitalism is feudalism with money instead of land. Most of the value created by workers is taken by managers and shareholders. No reason corporate profits cannot be shared with workers as well as management and shareholders.
Bottom Line: IMPEACHMENT. That is the only “MEDICINE” We The People have to focus on.
C’mon people, let’s be Real!
The SCOTUS which is the ONLY remedy to the stop against this nightmare it’s all IN to control & Destroy the Checks & Balances of this corrupt administration. We NEED TO IMPEACH!
Unions are fractured. Look at UAW approving Trump's tariffs on imported vehicles as though that will save their own jobs when the whole economy is losing purchasing power to buy even made in America products. The UAW swallowed the trump con's hook and sinker and gaslighted all the other unions.
April 2nd was liberation day of the working class from their money & savings. Buckle up things are going to get far worse for those of us that live check to check. #trumptariffs #peterretardo #2ndGrtDrepression #TradeWar #Recession
I can't believe it took getting to this point before people start to clue in. I still had some dude arguing with me this morning about how billionaires pay more taxes than us.
FDR said, "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little."
I want you to stop and ask yourself if what you just said is true for every company. Then I want you to ask yourself if anything you just said somehow disproves what is said on the post.
Cuba has been blockaded & sanctioned by the US because they threw out the casino & brothel owners that were a pox on the people. You are too indoctrinated to understand the real nature of Socialism. Trump will expose the stupidity of the Republicans......
And yet the auto workers union is still drinking the Kool-Aid, believing tariffs will bring back high paid jobs into their industry. If you're that stupid none of us can help you.
Why is corporate greed looked-at only in terms of the disparity to workers wages? Also look at how market domination by monopolies mergers created. The price of goods jacked up grasping for powerless ppl's last dimes? Americans don't buy Chinese goods for the CEO salaries. It's the price.
This guy is the greatest thing to happen to the Left since FDR. He's literally handing out memberships. You go to the Left. YOU go to the Left. YOU TOO!
There you go and unfortunately this happens all the time. No thought or care for their workers even they they constantly make profits smh. I repeat over and over they simply don't care!!!
We did great the first time! We HAVE to do even better this time! He is crazy and more and more people are going to get hurt! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends and family. Share and make everyone aware.
Absolutely spot on. We are due some high inflation again in UK soon. The cost of living crisis was so called as people couldn’t afford to eat and heat their homes - in a top 6 biggest economy in the world this is shameful. High prices incl energy prices are caused by rampant profiteering.
If someone takes the risk and creates a company that makes something or provides a service that people, through their own free will, are willing to pay for its not the company’s decision.
Don’t buy what they’re selling.
Go to a competitor that has a better product or service. Also, don’t work there
So it seems like you’re saying some jobs have the responsibility to cover cost of living but not all jobs? Do you really think that EVERY job should not cover cost of living?
Depends on the value of the job and depends on what you mean when you say “a living wage” or “the cost of living”. Because that’s different for every person based on their life circumstances.
Great point. IMO all jobs from fast food, janitorial, news paper carrier should get paid enough to cover housing utilities food daycare ect basic expenses. Would be much easier if medical, daycare, housing, education was free. But if you have employees they should have a livable wage…
We have let companies spew their anti-union propaganda and even snitched on those that didn't drink coolaid it's time we take back our lives and get paid what we're owed the ceo would be nothing without its workers if the company doesn't properly compensate we need to see how they fair without us.
Yup. When their first response to every wiggle in the market is to fire employees....same thing. I remember watching, in horror, back in 2001 (shortly before 9/11...anyone else remember GWB's "domestic economic summit" at Baylor University?) CEO of one co. responded
to Bush's tax CUT, thanking him, and saying "...and so we terminated X-thousand employees immediately." Not...so we could keep X-thousand employees and prevent increase in unemployment. Nope. Zero trickle-down. Opposite. Tax cuts don't work. Nothing works but changing the rules.
That fact was built into the US constitution by a bunch of white Christian nationalist rich men. And it has continued ever since. So has guns. First amendment under attack. Guns defended. And every other amendment about to be destroyed. End result. A dictatorship. Wake up America.
I have no idea who does more revisionist history. The Americans or the Russians. To me it’s almost a tie. Now with this new stuff I think the Americans will take the lead
I really hate smacking Americans over the head with a 2 X 4 but they are really dumber than a sack of hammers and think their shit doesn’t stink. It’s not just some political thing. It’s just Americans in general.
yea that's by design. The right wing has been systematically dumbing down their base since the 70s. Because that's the only chance they have at winning.
When one party can do this to 300mil people - who is the MORE STUPID? The PARTY or the PEOPLE? Drag them out of their offices and pull others in right now!
1 Timothy 6:9
“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”
History has shown us when people get too greedy usually they fall down hard let's hope this might happen when you get too greedy so you don't forget the little people who help you before you get greedy It kills you at the end
We allow the people that write the rules lead us.
When the population stop voting base on emotion then there will be change.
The vast majority of the population are prodigiously stupid.
Trump Claims Nazis Treated Jewish Prisoners With “Love”
Donald Trump made the unbelievable claim during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Donald Trump gestures while speaking and sitting in the Oval Office🖕
It's not just greed. Its the system that put greed in power. The corporations are incentivized and rewarded for being greedy.
We need to address the actual core of our economy. Build a market focused on quality of life, not growth of profits. Design a system that works for the people before all.
Trump is the worst case ever of welfare abuse and fraud.
Trump is living lavishly off of taxpayer money(keep in mind he hasn't paid any taxes in at least 18 years.
Your negotiators need to mandate that each time the CEO gets a raise, the workers get an equal percentage raise. CEO gets 20% everyone in the company gets 20%.
And stop cutting out their pensions! Retirements should be off the table.
The problem is clueless labor bringing virtually nothing to the table, taking no risk, and expecting to receive an outsized reward. Keep complaining and every one of you will be replaced by machines and AI.
if its cheaper they are gonna replace people; hardwork doesn't matter to the ceo only money. we are being payed sublivable wages while the ceos pay themselves millions for doing less and no risk of bodily harm. Ceos don't care about their workers wake up and catch up.
lmfao yeah bro wont someone think off the poor rich people who takes huge risks whether they would earn 500 million instead of 600 millions? what are ceos bringing to table, you tell me
It is time for investigative journalists to look into the insider trading that the US government and its radical right wing lunatics may have engaged in during the insane financial turmoil caused by Donny DoPoos, a man increasingly derided as someone out of control.
My ex-wife was the vice president of JC Penney. The company, which was teetering on bankruptcy at the time, didn't affect the higher-ups in any way. CEO Ron Johnson lived in California during this tumultuous time. He flew home from Dallas to California on a private jet every single day.
I can't understand why the .1% feels they need more. At what point does the marginal benefit of accruing additional wealth stop mattering? They can already do whatever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want. It really is sociopathic.
Oh we get it and if not are currently getting a master class from Mr Trump! One question!
Where the hell is the deep state when we need it? Gone on holiday?
Humans all have a degree of greed, whether it’s business owners, workers or bureaucrats. Greed doesn’t explain any of the things you listed. But lack of competition, antitrust enforcement, and strong union laws does.
COVIDflation. While everyone was talking about which statues to pull down, and which people should he considered "essential workers", the rich were organizing the largest wealth transfer in human history, and not a damn thing has been done about it.
The biggest mistake of our forefathers is that they trusted the rich to do the right thing But it was a different time back then and hopefully more well to do had a moral compass Not like todays grab for all insatiable greed that stifles all involved
I really don't believe the times were that different economically. Socially sure. However the Rich at that time period. Gained the system just the same. Unlike today. People stood up. They physically resisted. They set up Unions. The Rich hired private guns to attack Unions at strikes.
Oh, of course—how silly of us to think that workers asking for a livable wage could possibly be the issue. Clearly the real heroes are the CEOs bravely accepting 500x more pay while saving us all from the terrifying threat of… 50 cents.
How many millions of people are gainfully employed because of Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Tesla, etc.?
Cut billionaires off with an arbitrary cap and there is no incentive to build. And less than 100 years ago, you could have said the same thing at a $10M cutoff. Inflation.
The 4 you mention plus the etc are all taking advantage of their ground floor employees. Tesla sources parts from low paid producers in the far East.
999 millions is far and away a princely sum and if these greedy parasites think its not enough, I'd like to know how much would satisfy 🤔
There should be no billionaires. Mario Puzo has figured it out and knows that 'behind every great fortune there is a crime'. Find the crime and arrest the billionaire. Get back the loot.
This and apologist suck asses who tow the corporate line while they themselves get screwed, justifying their position by towing the other corporate line that not defending corporate greed is communism.
Don't hate the players, hate the game. We'll can't change the players (never get rid of human greed), so we must change the game (tax the F- out of these resource hoarders). Wealth at that level is never "earned". It's a byproduct of a system that rewards ownership far above all other contributions.
When billionaires hoard wealth like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet, the rest of us are left licking crumbs off the floor. Poverty isn’t a scarcity problem—it’s a gluttony problem. Let’s stop feeding the rich and start feeding justice. #EatTheRich #WealthGap #FairShare
The problem with business people running a country is that in business you give as little as possible for the highest price to maximise profit. Running a country like that leads to seeing the people as a cost and an obstacle to profit for government.
Of course it is.When,or if, Trump's tariffs ever go into effect I challenge every CEO of every Fortune 500 corporation to either take a pay cut,not take bonuses for a while, not take a pay increase for awhile,or all of the above and pass that cash down to their employees.No? That's what I thought.
In Q4 of last year, Apple made $34 Bullion in profit. They paid the $11B in fines, $3B in dividends, and put the remaining $21 BILLION into stock buybacks.
Well we just slaughtered your old man in the photo…He was actually this kinda bad ass gladiator who never lost a fight, and even when he did lose he made everybody cheer because he had really cool weapons.
The "free market" never existed. It's always been this way. It's always been the rich and powerful self dealing, while people think they are playing the same game.
THAT WAS THE EXCUSE FOR THE 201`7 TAX REDUCTION FOR THE RICH- THEY'D USE THE SAVINGS TO INCREASE PAY TO WORKERS AND EXPAND THEIR BUSINESSES. INSTEAD THEY DID THE ABOVE. BUT MAGA IS OK WITH IT.

FOTUS is not working for the American people.
Thanks so much for sharing the meme I made!
Your reach is awesome! Let’s work together ! 🎉🎉🎉
OHHH right nothing.
A raised base rate and higher dues.
While somehow the “Rep’s” creaming at the opportunity to pretend to be the mob or a real thug, made 900,000 on top of the regular 750,000+ salary.
Seems fair to me.
next year im moving to cuba yayyyy
In most companies, if they do well, the workers get their ordinary wages/salaries and all of the windfall goes to the shareholders. That's not fair!
When they do poorly, the workers are the first to get screwed,
Don’t buy what they’re selling.
Go to a competitor that has a better product or service. Also, don’t work there
