At the expense of workers, consumers, animals, community, and planet.... Stock buybacks were illegal until 1982, when the Reagan Revolution turned market manipulation into an art form. It's a system of corporate tyranny that increases the fortunes of a few at the expense of the many. This will not end until we end it. #DisruptTheSystem marianne2024.com

Stunning figure. The White House’s National Economic Council reports that major corporations are spending roughly 90% of their earnings on stock buybacks and dividends. What’s left for investment? Not much, unless these corporations are taking on debt. -R

Sounds tough like you’re going to do something besides roll out the actblue donation drive and roll over for the real nominee on script.

Yeah but we just hate all capitalism and want it to end because we don’t need to make money for individuals who won the birth lottery anymore.

Societal solidarity that started to emerge during the pandemic and BLM summer of 2020 scared the hell out of the plutocracy, thus they are more determined than ever to crush any opposition.

Aren't we all sick and tired of people who know enough to say all the right things, but aren't intelligent enough to know not to run within the completely corrupt Democratic Party? If you know they rigged it against Bernie, why don't you know they will rig it against you?
