Someone I know after working for a big grocery store for 14 years was happy to tell me they make $1 over the minimum wage. They can only be scheduled for 24 hours per week. I suspect if they got scheduled for 40 hours the company would have to pay them benefits. The company they work for is public. Looking up the CEO, he gets paid ~$12.6M per year. While the employees are making basically minimum wage, which is $18.25/hour in BC. The CEO pays himself more than $8000/hour. He makes over $64,000 in a single 8-hour day, more than the employees make in an entire year. I don't care who you are, no amount of work you do could possibly be worth this much over your employees. This is wage theft, and when combined with all the executives of the company, artificially increases the cost of products sold in the stores for all Canadians. Tax. The. Rich. #WealthInequality #Corruption #TaxTheRich

World leading economist, Joseph Stiglitz, is someone you should listen to when he speaks. And guess what…he backs a wealth tax to make the #FilthyRich pay their fair share. #WealthTax #TaxTheRich #WealthInequality #FairTax #EconomicJustice #UKPolitics

"We’ll kill our poor people to make your rich companies richer”😡😡 Those are the words of the editor of the British Medical Journal, which just published research showing that Starmer/Streeting's pharma deal with Trump will cause 229,000 excess deaths in England. Andy Burnham must tear it up. https://weownit.org.uk/news/andy-burnham-must-show-trumps-big-pharma-deal-the-red-card/ #NHS #BigPharma #WealthInequality

I love this quote. It highlights the absurdity at the heart of our society. Under capitalism, it's very normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich, not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane. #Socialism#Capitalism#WealthInequality
