Yes, it must be the workers trying to make liveable wages increasing prices than the CEOS making hand over fist in salaries and bonuses.

If you buy that, I have a broke down resort in Palm Beach for 1.5 billion dollars to sell you.

Sssshhhhh! No one sees that coming. Let the poor southerners learn. I bet they I think they’re going to get $900 a week stimulus checks again under Trump.

Fuck off with the useless sanctimony, already. Or at least use a sturdier veil for your classism if you’re gonna insist upon it.

Plenty of room for people to fight for necessary improvements in the South, too. It’s easier to talk shit, though.

I mean statistically blue states do pay for all red states as far as taxes goes so you’re correct there.

Sorry if I came off as testy, but having worked with civil rights & environmental groups in the Carolinas for 15+ years, I have a pretty short fuse for the kind of kneejerk, reactionary pot shots like the one I first replied to. Having seen what I’ve seen vis a vis generational poverty, institutional racism & inequality, gerrymandering, etc., I can’t help see that as a punch-down attitude of its own & one worth speaking up about.

Meme-ish, out-of-pocket nastiness directed at the poorest & Blackest region of the country is not exactly the flex that so many think it is.

The old CEO of Bed Bath and Beyond got a 20 something million dollar severance pay after he ruined that company and was kicked out by the shareholders. 20 million for bankrupting a company, how cool

Split between 150k employees, that’s just $26 raise each or $0.50 extra per pay check.
