Amazon 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.

Trump - Hey farmers, I'm going to bail you out of the mess I created BUT you're crops won't sell again to China, I've tripled your health insurance, and your closest hospitals are closing soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I recently complained/asked how to stop (there were no good answers) the Democratic fundraising texts. A friend shared this piece about what a total scam it is: "$11 million of the $678 million raised from individuals has made its way to candidates, campaigns, or the national party committees."

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.
Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.
One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.
Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

14 years ago I ordained as a monk. Every year I mark the day. Sometimes with grief, sometimes with joy, most times a bit of both. May all beings be at ease, and free from harm. May my practice be worthy of all the support. Thank you, and I am sorry.
