From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks.
That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years.
Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees.
And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?

I know people are rightly angry with CGE. They want to make their voices heard. With gencon on now basically I would urge you to make sure you are speaking to the right people. Don't harass folk just working the booth for not great wages if any at all. They aren't responsible for this.

This is the face of the Trump tariffs.
I hold in my hands the first of many tariff bills that I have to pay since there became a 30% tax on toys and games imported to the US. For the record: the manufacturer didn’t pay the tariff. The exporting country didn’t pay it either. I did.

Today I walked 6 miles crisscrossing Capitol Hill to meet with staff about how tariffs are affecting the boardgame industry. More tomorrow. Please contact your members of Congress, especially Rs. In the Senate, you can ask them to cosponsor S.1593, which would exempt small businesses from tariffs.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.
Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.
