A healthy labor movement is core to the reinvigoration of our democracy.
NEW: Chipotle’s CEO says he’s “disappointed to see” employees unionize.
“I really don’t think we need a third party to get between our restaurant teams and our company,” he told Yahoo.
Chipotle workers in Michigan formed the company’s first U.S. union this year.

What the hell??
This is Blake Anderson. He’s a security guard at the Good Batch Lounge. Early Sunday morning, deputy Rodriguez and his partner pulled up and began beating Blake. He’s since lost vision in his eye. He’s current being charged with assault on a police office for this. @lasdgangs

Generations individuate just like individuals do.
Take what works from the past & emulate it; take what doesn't work & throw it out, break the chain, free yourself & create anew.
Letting corporations run the world was a very bad idea.
We did it, & now it's time to undo it. 2/2

I love talking at colleges and universities.
Today's young people seem to have an instinctive understanding they shouldn't have to live their lives at the effect of bad ideas left over from the 20th century. 1/2

Excellent.
I think a lot of people might not realize that as you get older hearing aids are for many people much like glasses. Your ability to live productively would be greatly diminished without them.
Starting this week, we're making hearing aids available over the counter, so people don't have to pay for expensive visits to specialists.
The FDA estimates this is going to save patients as much as $3,000 per pair.
