A little about me. Started #programming in #php around 2001. Soon after I made a site that required sign up. got the #DeskMod devs to join, discovered one of them was using their bday as a password & "hacked" their server, poorly.

One amazing thing about 2025 is that, if you start up an Apple product, it forces you to choose between _three different_ window mangers, but if you start up a clean install of a current version of Linux, it just chooses good defaults for you.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The government has been closed for a full month — and federal workers who have missed two paychecks are now using credit cards to pay their bills and visiting food pantries to stock their kitchens.
After a month of the shutdown, workers face mounting bills, car repossessions
Missed paychecks and mounting bills are causing people to fall behind on rent and go hungry across the nation.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Seems to be needed to be sure we participate in nations prosperity.

It sure as hell is not trickling down.

Start with a reballancing budget such that national debt is paid down with high income loaded.

As that kicks in, start removing taxes on under $100,000 incomes, minimum wage = living wage.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

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.
