The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.

My HTML Boilerplate
A document outlining and explaining my general structure for HTML pages to use. A slim general markup template that applies to almost all HTML documents on the web and forgoes anything unnecessary. It is a general framework to build upon for individual sites.
