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.

Scotland only has 5.5 million people.
It has MILES more resources than the rest of the UK.
There's not even a rational argument against Scottish Independence.

So gas and electricity prices are set to rise again - because we have to pay for substantial infrastructure upgrades.
I wonder how much infrastructure could have been upgraded if private companies hadn’t spent over 30 years stealing our money for a few shareholders?
