After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

December ‘50 A lady writes to ask what she can grow as an edging to her rose beds. She wants something out of the ordinary, something that will flower all summer, something that will require no attention and of course it must be a perennial. Is that, she says, asking too much?

This is the desert of the real. The Wachowskis called it. But like Bernie says, no one wants this. Folks are organizing in amazing ways.
Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.

Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.

Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

This inquiry rather put me on my mettle. I did not dare to suggest anything so obvious as catmint (Nepeta mussinii), which would have fulfilled all her demands with the single proviso that by way of ‘attention’ she would have to cut it right back to the base in early spring.

The Cheddar Pink, Dianthus caesius, I thought would look neat and gay as an edging with the additional charm of the exceedingly sweet smell from its masses of pale rosy flowers. #gardening

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy.

This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

So. Arsenal start December by leading the Premier League by five points as well as the Champions League. Despite missing both first choice centre-backs they earned a vital point vs a strong Chelsea side. Yet some still can’t wait to criticise. Why not try backing the boys instead
