"CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @economicpolicy.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our #workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our #CEO more"?"

Did you know? Trump's tariffs are forcing Ford to raise prices. Are you ready to pay thousands more for a new car? Who really pays for tariffs? You! #EconomicPolicy #AutoIndustry #ConsumerCosts

Many hoped Mark Carney would use his climate and economic expertise to modernize Canada’s economy. Instead, it’s more of the same: pipelines as policy. If it hasn’t worked before, why would it now? #cdnpoli #abpoli #EconomicPolicy #EnergyTransition #CanadaEconomy

Nonpartisan numbers don’t lie. CBO data shows Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” cuts incomes for the poorest Americans by about –3.1%, while the richest 10% get a +2.7% boost.
A reverse Robin Hood law.

(Since this topic seems to be trending, here’s my thoughts)

Democrats lack a comprehensive economic vision. Their approach? Patchwork fixes & coping mechanisms—not solutions. Helping people survive a broken system isn’t the same as fixing the system. #EconomicPolicy

Vouchers, budget cuts & attacks on the Dept of Ed aren’t helping kids, they’re abandoning them. Every kid deserves a safe, welcoming public school where they can thrive. That requires resources + support, not more cuts. Read more from @EconomicPolicy: www.epi.org/publication/...
