wow. that graphic made me look. i’d never heard of Thomas Peterffy before. apparently he owns a shit load of timberland in north florida (500,000 acres) and another 32,000 acres in central fl.
from Florida500:
“Reclusive, he has been a donor to Republican candidates and causes.”
of course he has.
“Save big money at Menard’s!”
Because Mr. Menard will never have enough of it.
Disgusting graphic that, when i think again that there shouldn’t even be such a thing as a billionaire.
Even a billionaire in Turkish Lira (≃$55million US) is pushing it.
Poor Hi, they’ve got Larry and Zuck…
happy labor day. workers of the world unite!
gawd, that picture of the little girls is heart-rending. just look at their little hands! every one has missing or horribly disfigured fingers.
this is what unfettered capitalism would return us to.
TW: similar pictures of child laborers whose hands etc. are damaged. Only a century ago, in the U.S.
We must remember.
The capitalist machine chews people up.
The desperately poor are its feedstock.
