Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

On this day in 1954, a meteorite blew a hole in Ann Hodges' roof, ricocheted off a large Philco radio, and struck her in the side (she survived). It contains fragments of the first things to make up our solar system. See it at the Alabama Museum of Natural History. → bit.ly/3F92ky9

This is great, now Team Trump is acknowledging that illegal orders were given to kill survivors of the initial strike, the only question is who gave them? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Horrendous. These companies pay employees so little that they qualify for benefits paid by taxpayers!
Meanwhile, they bring in huge profits, their executives are paid millions and investors are paid excellent dividends.
The cream on top of their cake is they are allowed corporate tax avoidance!
