I love closing out the year with this. 😊
On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.
How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️
Happy New Year, ya'll!
As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating SW software😳
Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.
In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.
In 2014 Ohio a Cop shot and killed Tamir Rice—an unarmed 12-year-old Black boy—claimed self defense, and was acquitted. He’s out free without facing any accountability.
In 2022 Ohio a white man shot and killed Sinzae Reed—an unarmed 13-year-old Black boy—claimed self defense, and Cops won’t even charge him. He’s out free without facing any accountability.
This is what systemic white supremacy looks like. We’re moving backwards.😓
