@jgo4justice.bsky.socialReposted by @markruffalo.bsky.socialAnd here's the job loss announcement on day 1 of the shitty Paramount/Warner Bros. merger.
Fear not. The billionaires will slash a bunch of jobs for their own selfish aims, but they'll do it "respectfully."
This is what Newsom et al. folded to. Billionaire capture.
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialReposted by @markruffalo.bsky.socialThe deal hasn’t even closed yet and already the job losses have commenced.
Mind you, these folks are well off and will be fine.
But thousands of middle class and blue collar workers are about to lose their livelihoods.

@rbreich.bsky.socialReposted by @markruffalo.bsky.socialWith this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

@rbreich.bsky.socialReposted by @markruffalo.bsky.socialToday's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

@newshound411.bsky.socialReposted by @markruffalo.bsky.socialIt’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

@rbreich.bsky.socialReposted by @markruffalo.bsky.socialAmericans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
