CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Trump couldn't make it to his own son's wedding, but there's another way he's still supporting him: lucrative Pentagon contracts to Don Jr.'s (and Eric's) companies.
For years, Hungary's Viktor Orban gerrymandered his opposition out of power. But in the end, all the dirty tricks in the world couldn't save him from sinking approval ratings and massive voter turnout. There's a lesson here for us.
If you don’t think Donald Trump has completely lost his marbles, then you need to watch this.
American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.
Senator Jon Ossoff neatly breaks down political corruption in America — and how Trump’s “Mar-a-Lago mafia” has exploited it. Every single Democrat should be saying this.
I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show" last summer. He has always been kind to me when I've been a guest on his various shows — and he's a wicked smart satirist. Are you planning to tune in to his farewell episode tomorrow night?
I have to admit I was already aged out of watching SpongeBob SquarePants when this episode originally aired. But my younger colleagues told me to watch this clip.
Why is the President of the United States shilling so hard for cryptocurrency? Because the entire industry is a Ponzi scheme — and he's the conman-in-chief.
Someone told me to watch this SNL sketch about America’s “media-opoly.” It feels eerily prophetic given today's media environment. Watch.

When a story “just makes sense,” what do you stop checking—time frames, base rates, or incentives? Hidden assumptions combined with persuasive narratives create base rate neglect that warp decisions. questionclass.com/when-a-story... #criticalthinking #decisionmaking #storytelling #questionclass
What can North Carolina "afford" to do? Actually... lots of stuff. We're a very big, wealthy state. There's more than enough to go around - it's just a question of priorities. Shout out to @minnaleejamison.bsky.social for the explainer here!

Just to close the thread, FB put the nail in the coffin with some more of the cross screen set, including a rip screen variant (Rupert missed). Meesseman got a good look off the usual and hit a few straight middies to put the game out of reach (OLY head coach Froso Drakaki was not happy).
