The more I learn about private equity, the more I'm convinced that those engaging in it are horrible people, and our laws and regulations encourage them to do their worst.
A just system wouldn't reward "investors" who destroy businesses, reduce competition, and hurt consumers...

For the record: if I see your post about running, I'm going to like it. I don't care if you ran fast or slow, or if your run was long or short. It's all about getting out there and doing it. Running is the ultimate cardio workout. There's no faking it. Run or run not, there is no try... #runsky

Has anyone asked John Roberts whether raping children could potentially be an "official duty" of a former/current/future President? I mean, maybe he'll just say Trump can do (and always have done, and always can do) whatever he wants, so what's in the Epstein files won't matter... #NoKings

Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" is amazing! As someone who has actually read the book, I can honestly say that he gets it right!
Whoever gave it a negative review was probably upset he didn't have green skin and bolts coming out of his neck...

If Biden had done this, it would have been the top story for a week. Republicans would have been calling for his resignation and Democrats would have been asked whether they still support him...

Mayor-elect Mamdani's victory speech was amazing! I wish him all the success in the world...because the world needs him to be successful!
Also, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the new mayor of the NYC was born during my freshman year in college...and that's okay. #Mamdani

Since Republicans are so upset about paying to feed people, here's an idea: Any company whose employees are receiving SNAP benefits pay a tax penalty equal to 110% of the amount their employees received. This way, it costs them LESS to just pay their employees MORE...
An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
