Stock buybacks don't just line the pockets of CEOs and shareholders — they're dangerous.
Boeing failed to implement a $7B redesign of its 737 Max while spending that much per year on buybacks.
A dollar spent on buybacks is a dollar less spent to upgrade equipment and safety.

I'm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it
Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it?
Everybody's pointing while at me they point a finger
A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer

UVA and Virginia state police are raiding the Gaza solidarity encampment next to the Rotunda. They literally changed the bylaws, which previously permitted tents, a few hours ago. The encampment had been going quietly for several days.
