Kroger is shuttering stores temporarily to pressure union to concede. Their offer is below the poverty levels set by the state! Their CEO took $15.4M home last year (450 times their average employee) and the company announced 7.5B in stock buybacks!! But now they cry poor, and want to stiff the workers.

#Trump, in recent days, was doing his part as well to help drive business to the family.

He attended a fund-raising event at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida this past weekend. That makes his 10th visit to the club since he returned to the White House in January, with many of the weekend visits featuring political gatherings that #pay bills to his family.

I'm sure this makes you feel better, doesn't it?

Big oil pushed to kill bill that would have made them pay for wildfire disasters

Legislation has new life in wake of Los Angeles catastrophe but US fossil-fuel industry is already mobilizing against it
In the year preceding the devastating Los Angeles county wildfires, big oil fiercely lobbied to kill a “#polluter #pay” bill that moved through the California senate
-- and would have forced major fossil fuel companies to help cover the costs of climate disasters.

Fossil-fuel industry lobbying in California spiked to record levels during the 2023-24 legislative session,
-- and the polluter pay bill was among the most targeted pieces of legislation,
a Guardian review of state lobby filings found.

Good morning. 🍂🍃🍂

15 January 2025

After I got out of Marine Corps Boot Camp in 1971, I got paid twice a month. I was going to say every two weeks but that isn't quite right with the exception of most Februarys. But anyway, back in those days we reported to a pay officer who would pay us in cash, for me he would snap out two brand new $20 bills. That's right my take home pay was $80 per month. Take home isn't quite accurate either because I lived in a barracks, so hey, free room and board. I should mention that I did automatically purchase a savings bond every month, which would increase my net pay to $100. My payday was all spending money, which lasted a week until I was again waiting for payday.
