Lol, I tried telling my nephew that back in the day there would be broadcast blackouts on sports games so you'd have to call a number with your teams extension to get the score. I still don't think they believe me.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

the biggest thing the rich effectively did was pit the various lower levels against each other. it's just so sad. I've seen blue collar workers complain about min wage going up before complaining about CEO pay.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 17d

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
