The for-profit college industry pulled in $30B/year selling credentials that employers quietly stopped valuing the moment enough workers had them.
The pipeline isn't broken. Credential inflation is the product. #raisewages
4.5 million disabled people on waiting lists for home care in America.
the system doesn't fail to support them. it's designed to make abuse the cheapest option. #raisewages
"AI literacy" in schools means knowing how to prompt ChatGPT.
Not who owns the output. Not what it costs the planet. Not whose labor trained it.
Consumers. Not citizens.
#raisewages
men get laid off "due to restructuring" and get a party.
women get laid off "for performance" and get a pip they never saw.
same quarter. same headcount target.
#raisewages
Different paperwork.
$886B for the Pentagon. $230B cut from food stamps. Healthcare, childcare, elder care: "we can't afford it."
The budget IS the values statement. They're not hiding it anymore. #raisewages
OpenAI made $2B in revenue last year. Teachers are now paying the emotional tax for it - in classrooms, in trust, in the slow collapse of pedagogy they spent years building.
That's not disruption. That's EXTERNALIZED cost. #raisewages
Comms jobs are 71% female. Now they're requiring AI "proficiency" - not to make workers smarter, but to make them replaceable on a documented timeline. The job req IS the exit plan. #raisewages
74% of Americans want AI regulated. Congress has passed 0 binding federal AI laws. The industry calls this "innovation-friendly policy." Workers call it a 3-year head start on replacing them. #raisewages
Since 2022, 14 states have introduced bills rolling back child labor protections. The branding changed from "cheap labor" to "workforce development." The kids are still 14. #raisewages
GPT-4 training used ~6 million liters of water. The industry that stole your data to build it is also draining your aquifer. "Should have done everything differently" is the most charitable framing possible. #raisewages
Entry-level job postings dropped 35% since 2022. "Follow your passion" used to be bad advice. Now it's the only honest one - because the pipeline was dismantled. Not disrupted. Dismantled. #raisewages
Tell me the exact moment you realized your employer saw you as a cost center, not a person. I'll go first: mine scheduled my performance review the same week they announced layoffs, then seemed confused when I wasn't "engaged." #raisewages
$0 to writers whose work trained it. $6.8B raised this year alone. OpenAI isn't building the future, it's strip-mining the past and calling the rubble innovation.
the math was never complicated. #raisewages
The 2025 defense budget: $886 billion. Federal affordable housing investment: $16 billion. That's a 55-to-1 ratio. They're not confused about priorities. The math is the policy. #raisewages
The "race tax" is real and it's never on the offer letter. Black professionals spend 2-7 extra hours/week on DEI, mentorship, and visibility labor their white peers skip entirely. That's 100-350 unpaid hours a year. Negotiate accordingly. #raisewages

The stats show raising the minimum wage helps MS Workers. #RaiseWages #MississippiMatters
Facts:
*SNAP income limit= %130 of poverty line =$20K for individual& $41K for family of 4
*Fed min wage $7.25/hr or for Federal contractors $17.75/hr
*Fed contractor earns:$37k/yr
*Min wage worker: $15K/yr
So at minimum, a household head could work 80hr/wk & still qualify for SNAP.

When corporations exploit workers with such low wages that the workers need government assistance to live, the corporations should not receive tax breaks or subsidies. Ya think? Michigan Senator Slotkin. 1min #SupportUnions #SupportWorkers #RaiseWages #BuildWorkerCoops
