Now, I’m not so sure.

Yep.
We don't need more evidence, we have eyes. Just have to figure out why the other side has no eyes and can't see the video and refuses to see what is happening.

I recently read a claim from a park Ranger that bear proof trash bins in national parks have been developed and rolled out. They have removed them because because there is a large overlap between the dumbest people and the smartest bears.

Just take a break for a few minutes and listen to this set. I don't know what it is about Tiny Desk Concerts that seem to be somehow spiritually weighted, but this performance is just ethereal and I am so glad to have had the privilege to start my day with it.

Unions
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
