After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

They demolished the East Wing. Now they're ILLEGALLY renaming the Kennedy Center. Federal law PROHIBITS this without Congress. They muted Joyce Beatty when she objected, called it "unanimous," hung blue tarps, changed signs overnight. Georgetown Law: "absolutely no way they can do this legally."

I think our word/mantra for 2026 should be: focus. We all cannot slap bandaids on the bullet holes our society (and world) are taking right now. That is at least in part by design. So, we should all pick One. Thing. One thing! In our society that we will focus on improving and making better in 2026.

What I find truly upsetting is that we're clearly plunging into dystopia but we've bought into the notion that it's inevitable. We're marionettes just waiting for Big Tech to pull the strings.

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.
