When organized labor is weak and non-militant, capital can get away with a lot more, so it does get away with a lot more.

It strips away anti-corruption, regulations, and social democracy as soon as it can get away with it.

If stock buybacks are Capital's path of least resistance it will self organize, like iron shavings to a neodymium magnet, and make it happen. There is no human agency in the circuits of capitalism and never will be.

If this woman tried to not do stock buybacks, she would be fired by her peers/board and replaced.

If this woman was even capable of considering doing pay raises instead of stock buybacks, she would have been clocked and removed from the circuit like an intelligent species crashing into the fermi paradox/great filter.

As a Liberal I would like to thank Joe Manchin for absorbing all the anger that would otherwise be directed at the entire democratic party like a tortured idol from a Dark Souls game.

Thank you Democrats for diffusing public anger the way any adults in the room would; for protecting my investments in 14,000 empty single family homes in upstate New York.

Please consider my proposal for Green solar powered benches that electrify after 10pm to prevent homeless people from sleeping on them. This would increase our property values even further. We truly are Better Together™
