Corporate Billionaires: From Greed to Sleaze

1 week ago | jimhightower.substack.com | Jim Hightower

Current time: 0:00 / Total time: -2:09Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade. Gosh, I miss the old days of CEO greed, when the pay gap between Boss Hog and everyday employees was merely gross. Today, the guiding ethic for top executive enrichment is to have no ethics. Grab as much as you can as fast as you can, everyone else be damned. And never mind that as chief, you did absolutely nothing to “earn” that exorbitant stash of cash. How exorbitant?
Instead of Being Down About Trump, People Are Rising Up, by Jim Hightower

1 week ago | creators.com | Jim Hightower

If the barrage of MAGA nuttiness and raw meanness is getting you down, ponder this passage from the classic novel, "Don Quixote": "It is not possible for the bad or the good to last forever ... and since the bad has lasted so long, the good is close at hand."Of course, the good only comes when fed-up people openly rebel against the bad. And, sure enough, President Donald Trump's awful tyranny is revving up a majority movement for the common good.

Call Them What They Are: Corporate Mobsters By Jim Hightower How sweet it is to be a corporate criminal these days!I don't mean common price gougers, polluters and such, but full-fledged, executive-suite mobsters. They run huge corporate syndicates, treating fraud and even murder as necessary business tools. For example, Boeing Incorporated. In 2018, a Boeing 737 MAX passenger jet suddenly nose-dived into the Java Sea, killing all 189 people on board.
DOGE Cuts Social Security; GOP Corrupts the Farm Bill

How ironic: The most inefficient bureaucracy in government turns out to be Donald Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency.” That might be humorous except that DOGE—a creature of the right wing’s Project 2025—has been devastating to millions of people. And it’s about to get worse. Elon Musk—the flighty, überrich autocrat put in charge of “efficiency” by his buddy Trump—is now going after the Social Security deposits of 73 million senior citizens.

A freak accident, declared top bosses of the multibillion-dollar giant, disavowing any responsibility.

The right wing routinely demonizes family-friendly policies of liberals as “social engineering.”But look out!Here come those same politicians, putting on MAGA hardhats and firing up their political bulldozers to push one of the most arrogant and intrusive social schemes imaginable. They intend to reengineer the American family.
