John Deere has laid off roughly 1000 workers so far this year.

But the company reported a profit of over $10 billion in 2023.

Its CEO received $26.7 million in total compensation.

And it spent over $7 billion on stock buybacks.

Textbook corporate greed.

John Deere seems to be following the same path as Boeing. Short-term rise in stock price is more important than common sense.

Time for a new business model:

Rich donors are paying as much as $300,000 per person to attend a Trump fundraiser in San Francisco today. What do they expect in return for their money?

@rbreich
Probably the same thing when they attend a Democrat fundraiser.

It is time for a new way.

Where are the editorials calling for Trump to drop out of the race and allow Republicans to choose a non-felon as their nominee?

If the people in the back rooms of left-wing power believe Mr. Trump is on the way down (electorally speaking), they won't do much to urge the R's to pick a new leader.

It's time for a new way.

50 billionaire families have spent $600 million+ on the 2024 elections, which is .06% of their total wealth.

The equivalent donation for an avg household would be ~$100.

This means 50 billionaires have the political-spending capacity of 6 million American families.

Oligarchy.

This is intriguing math. They buy off the system, and still have lots left over for their yahcts.

It's time for a new way.
