Auto workers are demanding a 40% raise to match the 40% pay increase CEOs of the Detroit automakers got over the past 4 years.

CEOs are calling this absurd, but they couldn't be more wrong.

THIS IS A COMPROMISE. Why? Because worker's real wages have fallen 30% over the past 20 years. They're foregoing 16 years of wage theft for 4 of equity, and consistent equity going forward. That's basic justice.

Pay workers. Unionize workers. Tax billionaires. Save our economy.

If Spotify can have 220'000'000 paying subscribers and still not turn a profit, it might be time to start buying CDs again

@cstross So, India just sent something to the moon for £58M, so almost for the price of two Liz Trusses, we can send her there too.

I think that's something we can afford.

I love clicking on a hyperlinked article title and being directed to an outlet I already have a subscription for. Really justifies the $10/mo I spend to not read it regularly

I am a tech nerd and commentator who jumps on every new social media thing but I have absolutely no interest in the non-organic, autotuned community McMansion that is Threads. Seriously, do we really need another product from the "we didn't invent fascism, we just give the people what they want" company?
