How much the typical worker made last year at 16 top retailers, from Amazon to Walmart For many US workers, retail is a first job; for others, it's a lifelong career. Here's how much the typical workers made last year at top retailers.

Starbucks loves to say their baristas make $30 an hour. Here’s what we really make😳: www.businessinsider.com/how-much-ret...

That’s why we’re demanding a base starting wage of $17 an hour, to raise up the lowest paid baristas. Sbux makes billions in profits, we know they can afford it!

Actually yes, let's go back 15 years to Obama's attacks on Libya that:
1. Obama sought - and received - pre-approval for from the UN. No surprises for allies.
2. Had clear and achievable objectives articulated to Americans before the attack.
3. Did not strangle global oil trade.

Yes, let's compare.

Washington Post now pushes only Bezos' private agendas, the Wall Street Journal has for years pushed only Murdoch's. The New York Times, on the other hand, is great at crosswords and Wordle, so there's that.

Living under Donald Trump is like living with an abusive husband whose first move is to isolate you from everyone who loves you. Cut off the support system, poison the relationships, make sure there’s nobody left to run to. Then he can do whatever he wants. That’s exactly what he’s done to America.

Time for the rest of Canada to get in line. Enough with the twice per year time change nonsense.

So taking preventative treatment for a potentially debilitating communicable disease is now optional for service people operating in close proximity in a war zone?

Well, I can't foresee any possible complications from that.

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

Did American voters really think it was cute to vote for someone whose thing is to call people names? It’s something we’re taught at an early age not to do.
Minor in the scheme of things, but such a telling characteristic.

I think I hate the regular season 3 on 3 overtime and shootout until the playoffs come around and we're halfway through the second overtime period and I just want someone to put me out of my misery.

It's great that Hims & Hers has all these new customers, but I'm not sure how sustainable it is to project future sales to customers who listen to RFK Jr. How much longer are those people going to be with us?

F.B.I. Agent Who Tried to Investigate ICE Officer in Shooting Resigns

F.B.I. Agent Who Tried to Investigate ICE Officer in Shooting Resigns www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

Why? Why do you need an ICE with guardrails? Why do you need ICE at all?

The US is full of police with authority to enforce laws. What is the point of a federal agency to do work that local and state police can already do? Other than to undermine local and state authority.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Trump Pardoned a Nursing Home Owner Who Owed Almost $19 Million to a Grieving Family Stories about pardons are often about presidential power. But what about people on the other side of that grace? The Coulson family may never receive millions from a wrongful death lawsuit it won years ago.

NEW: Stories about pardons are often told as stories about presidential power — who had access, who persuaded a president to intervene. But what drew reporter Jeremy Kohler to this story was the people on the other side of that act of grace.

Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.
–Fran Lebowitz

There's controversy that "grab them by the pussy" Trump initiated inappropriate contact with a woman?

What world have these people been living in over the past decade?

In related news, Graham also called on Trump to walk on water, balance the deficit, and accurately define the word "groceries".

Trump Humiliated Iran Blows Off Peace Talks

“Iran stated that its absence from the 2nd round of talks stems from Washington’s excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions, & ongoing naval blockade, which it considers a breach of the ceasefire,”

"I know you have busy lives, and you don't need daily interruptions from me. But the truth is, there's a lot going on in the world, and not all of it is good," Carney

How I wish we could get Trump and the MAGA crowd to quit it with their daily interruptions to people's lives.

On the right is someone NFL doctors say is 6’3, 230 lbs with 5% body fat

On the left is someone White House doctors say is 6’3, 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat

If the White House is THAT dishonest about something so clear, why should we believe anything they say about anything?

Innocent people die when the religious go to war is a tale as old as history.

One of the primary effects of religion is to create artificial divisions between people who, in the absence of religion, could get along with each other just fine.
