Unless you're an AI company the only way to maintain and grow shareholder value is to abuse and fire your employees. That's the essence of the US economy

Do younger people know about the Bush shoe incident?
It's a disgrace to American journalism that no American reporter has tried to bean one of our presidents with a shoe.

Why does Dr. Reich omit that these conglomerates were formed when the federal government approved the massive mergers and acquisitions that created them, some of which were completed on his watch? It's almost as if he doesn't want us to know the root of the problem
If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.
Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

The philanthropist angle is not the point. The real question is, 'Where did all the money go?'. Why can't the city afford to fund four child care centers? The press and the politicians want to divert our attention from the real issues
A private donor offered to pay $1.5 million to save four Salt Lake County-run child care centers from closure, giving officials until the end of 2026 to make the programs sustainable — but County Council members rejected it, Mayor Jenny Wilson said.
A donor offered to cover Salt Lake County’s day care bill for 2026, but council members rejected it, mayor says
A fight over the future of four Salt Lake County-run day cares has raged on the partisan County Council since late last month.

Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case:
A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex.
*That* is how racist America is.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

This. Exactly
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

A new Danish study, covering over 1 million children born between 1997 and 2018, was published in 2025 and its findings are decisive.
The study “confirms that routine childhood vaccines do not cause autism spectrum disorder.”
These findings counters the misinformation that continues to circulate.👇

How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?
