Americaβs 20 Largest Low-Wage Employers and the Affordability Crisis - Institute for Policy Studies
Low wages are a key driver of the affordability crisis. These 20 firms pay poverty wages while enriching CEOs.
The 20 largest low-wage employers in the U.S. pay millions of workers poverty wages while their CEOs take home an average of $18.6 million a year.
If corporations can afford billions in stock buybacks, they can afford to pay their workers a living wage. ips-dc.org/report-ameri...

Noem just wrapped. Unclear if she received word of her firing beforehand. She wasn't asked as it does not appear there were reporters in the audience. She was not speaking like someone who knew she had been fired.

On top of the concentration camps, kidnapping, and murders, the news now reports ICE is buying microwave tech to kill the car engines of first amendment legal observers. And Democrats are still not even asking to claw back the 2025 budget increases.

Itβs normal in this profession to spend an entire day ruminating, debating with colleagues, reading other peopleβs work, only to then write 10 lines of actual production code that solve the problem.
And that process usually reveals missing information, conflicts, even impossibilities. Itβs crucial.

Todayβs military strikes on Iran β carried out by the United States and Israel β mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

So funny that Dems have spent a decade unable to unravel the complex mind of the dumbest man in politics, then Mamdani instantly came up with "be charismatic and strong" and "make him fake newspapers" and it's Super Effective.
