This is interesting.

I understand the sentiment to demand non-profit staff be paid low amounts, but non profits are large and complex organizations that are difficult to lead.

I have no idea if the salary is legit.

But we must release unrealistic expectations of non profit staff.
I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

If the calculations are accurate, how in the world did he hook-up a 17 yo and then move her in?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

She did it. It appears she thinks accountability shouldn’t apply to her.

The problem with that is she’s a woman who made men look foolish.

It feels sinister to malign safe and effective pain killers in a health care system as broken as ours.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

We keep being told that young men of a certain demographic have it so hard.

Why are we not talking about the callous nature of some of their behavior?
According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Trump has just removed a memorial to Black soldiers from a US military cemetery. But no matter what he does to try to erase them, Black soldiers have fought for this country — from the First Rhode Island Regiment in 1778 to the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II to the service members of today.

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.

The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

The promise of a vote is not enough. Don’t do this to the American people.
