Boeing shareholders approved a $33M pay package for CEO Dave Calhoun, despite overseeing huge losses and safety problems.

It's the biggest package ever given to a Boeing CEO.

Calhoun is resigning by year's end. Guess what he gets then?

A $45 million golden parachute.

Unreal.

Buying someone's silence as they scapegoat him is common practice.

The folks that turned a blind eye to a catastrophic financial crash, scapegoated a few executives & traders and bought their silence with handsome amounts of "Bye-Bye" money.

It's a practice that should be made illegal because it's a practice that hides fraud & other criminal conduct.

Trump has said FOUR times that he will withhold federal funding from schools that require vaccines. Not just COVID. ALL.

This is most schools. This is hitting me where I work. This will lead to children dead from measles. It's obvious, inevitable.

Someone on here said they just couldn't bear to vote for Biden to keep Trump from office since at least under Trump there were better masking rules.

I hope that person sees this.

    Britain's record on homelessness is world beating, just not in a good way.

    We've the highest recorded levels of homelessness in the developed world; while other counties have seen (albeit slow) declines in homelessness, since 2010 the UK's rate has been accelerating away.

    The housing crisis has many dimensions, but here there's a direct correlation between the arrival of the current Tory govt. & massive increases!

    The party of landlords is working for them & doing nothing for us!

    As George Monbiot says, the answer to thwarting a fascist movement & its inevitable wars, is using tax dollars to benefit the citizens & voters of a nation, all of them, not just the 1% at the top.

    Also, ensuring that the top pays their taxes.

    It was the Post WW2 answer that worked for 75 years. It created trade not brinksmanship. It created diplomacy and mutual aid treaties like NATO.

    That's the solution.

    1. Tax the rich.
    2. Good government geared towards the needs of the nation.

    In so much of the US, life without a car is unimaginable to local residents. Most American coming-of-age media centers on becoming able to drive legally, because mobility is denied to the young here and driving a car is seen as a prerequisite for participation in our society. I think you all know where this is going. When the 17 year cicadas emerge from the ground this summer, they should be given drivers’ licenses.

    Teens with access to a car are more economically advantaged earlier in their careers.

    Insurance restrictions that make driving prohibitively expensive until 25 are part of a wage suppression scheme for the young

    Well intentioned efforts to encourage safer driving in the young are having unintended economic consequences.

    The politics of immiseration of the young takes many forms

    Affordable EV's and properly funded public transit would help the young advance economically. And provide improvements in public safety.

    Both electric cars & public transit initiatives are under attack by the fossil fuel industry.

    In 2016, Cambridge Analytica sold voter information and public sentiment analysis to the Russians.

    That allowed the GOP to microtarget those areas with disinformation.

    Troll farms run by the Russian Internet Agency inundated users with lies & suppressed turnout.

    It enabled Trump to win the electoral college by 70,000 votes in 3 swing states.

    That's all it took for 167 million American women to lose their civil rights.

    70,000 votes flipped using Facebook data

    And Meta isn't the only one monetizing hate speech. Threads, Parler, Reddit, Bluesky & Twitter do it too.
