as california goes back to a potential mask mandate with vaxxed up people getting covid, here's a map of places w/ lower vaccination rates but higher covid cases.

Companies need to stop doing 401(k) "matching" and just give employees retirement money regardless of what the employee puts in. You wouldn't make a raise contingent on a worker having a certain savings account balance. Don't do it for retirement benefits, either.

Florida refuses to report daily stats on Covid-19 so we have to get them from the CDC instead. Florida reported 12,647 new cases today, the highest daily number since January 30, 2021. That’s 22.9% of all new daily cases nationwide. Vote out Ron Desantis.

I always hear how workers did nothing and got bailed out with unemployment ... But CEOs get their pay from stock. The Fed bailed out the stock market with $3 trillion, causing the median CEO pay to rise 19% last year (a $3.8 million raise). Seems like they got the real bailout.

democracy is when you evict people in the middle of a pandemic because nine unelected judges think some dead guys from 200 years ago would have wanted that

The justification for landlords is so funny. People will always come out and say weird shit like "it's actually a lot of work to maintain properties". Oh good, so you don't mind if we pay you for your labor by the hour then, like everyone else?

I have said that a party is either a capitalist party or it is a labor party. I deny that any party can by any possible means serve both these classes with the same fidelity. It is impossible. If a party serves the capitalist exploiter it is at the expense of his exploited victim

• If you export bombs • Don’t complain about importing refugees

Using a private profiteer to open a prison camp at gitmo for Haitian refugees is about as dark as it gets. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

@whiskeynachos Lee 'the J stands for Jrinking Water' Carter yeah, and in the '90s Biden was voting with Republicans to keep Haitian refugees detained in Guantanamo indefinitely

The saddest part of free market ideology is that if you know your job is beneficial to society, the capitalist will use this against you and pay you less, because they know people want to do jobs that help society.

Big companies love to raise prices and blame it on the issue of the day. Don't be fooled - corporate profits are at a record high, up 11% in the last year. They raise prices to raise profits. This is what happens when there are 2-4 monopolies controlling every sector.

*fills up car on way to $10/hour part-time job with no health care or retirement plan after dropping kids at $1,500/month child care while servicing $30k student debt and paying $250 rent hike in neighborhood where home prices are up $100k* "man, these gas prices are killing me"

The same people complaining about inflation have refused to raise the $7.25 minimum wage for a record 12 years. Adjusted for inflation it should be at least $9.31 by now.

It is said that “poverty is not a crime.” It is a lie. Poverty is a crime and the penalty is death by torture and neglect. Socialism and only socialism will banish the gaunt monster poverty from the world.
