In case you were wondering whether the Big 3 automakers can afford to pay their workers more:
Combined profits at the Big 3 are up 92% over the decade. This year they've paid out $14 billion in dividends and buybacks.
Damn right they have the means to pay workers a fair share.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The Fed is just absolutely screaming the quiet part and yet every millionaire pundit in the Acela Corridor is still asking "why oh why are Americans so unhappy with the economy?"
The state continues to double down and side with the fossil fuel industry while increasing punishment for climate activists. This is a path to irreversible planetary destruction and it leaves us no choice but to escalate. Few realize it yet but this is a real war, a corporate war
Communities must be empowered to monitor environmental toxins, so that citizens can be informed and protect their communities against industries that profit at the expense of life.
ProgCode's EnviroTrack project can be part of the solution.

AMLO's implementation of universal reform policies measurably reduced poverty in Mexico. His only notable policy failure resulted when following piecemeal US solutions to healthcare.
