Companies owned by real owners, not corporate or held by hedge funds, are more likely to act responsibly toward employees, customers, and society. It's not guaranteed, but it is much more likely.

Companies must earn our trust and respect. No passes for corporations and hedge funds.

Exactly-private equity funds will own everything soon & all of us who work for a living will be at the mercy of their whims. They always look for the shiny new object. When they tire of one investment, they dismantle it & move on to the next big thing. That’s no way to create economic stability.

Can’t count on capitalism to resist for long. The US version of capitalism anyway. They put money above everything. Remember back when tax brackets were equitable and business owners invested back in their people and their companies? There were incentives to be a responsible segment of society.

Apparently you don’t give a crap about politics as you termed your entire political staff. Keep young folks in the dark, right?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Seems like everyone in the the Trump Admin serves for the grift and per rush. Except maybe Stephen Miller - he’s there to make people suffer.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

#CancelSpotify.

Delete the app. Don't use it. They are proudly promoting ICE ads, and the CEO is just a trash human being.

Make an example of one company. All they worship is money. The color green trumps all others.

I wish we could get everyone in America to watch this clip. I think I’ll try to find the movie this week.

Republican fear mongering is destroying the American dream (and economy, values, reputation, land…)

Thank you for sharing.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

There is an ABSOLUTE need for U.S. Supreme Court Justice term limits & reform. The current partisanship & complicit behavior is unacceptable!

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.
