Bosses rig #union votes the same way Republicans rig elections: #disinformation, divide-and-rule, #VoterSuppression, #gerrymandering. Union organizers know how to win that kind of election, and they can teach us all.

The #DemocraticParty establishment wants voters to cast a ballot and then go to sleep for two years until it's time to cast another ballot. That's why they hate #unions: unions stay awake, demanding that the Democrats GOVERN instead of selling out.

According to @RayDalio #principles video, war is coming, after "printing money and credit". This is a gold video. however in the previous orders there were no cryptocurrencies, which could alter the overall vision of the cycle. 1/4
@RayDalio In fact, even if the government produces more #money the people who invest in this asset ensure that there is less #FIAT money circulating. This means that even if there should be a #war, to avoid an excessive devaluation of the #dollar, 2/4
@RayDalio there could be an immense capital entering the #crypto world. All this would open the doors to a new elite of people, the "new rich". And this has been noticed by several #millionaires and #billionaires, investing a small portion of their #portfolio in this new #asset 3/4

Sehr hohe Unternehmens- & Vermögenseinkommen unterliegen kaum noch der progressiven #Einkommensteuer.

Die größeren & großen Familienunternehmen lassen ihre Gewinne zumeist im Unternehmen oder in der Holding stehen.
Darauf zahlen sie Unternehmensteuern, zumeist 15-25% effektiv, je nach Steuergestaltungen oder Gewinne aus dem Ausland (3/15)

@propublica 1. @JeffBezos also gets tax breaks from local/state govts to encourage him to locate #Amazon's facilities in their states. Since he doesn't pay a #LivingWage, the #USTaxPayers subside his employees w/#FoodStamps & w/other assistance programs! This example:

Despite #Bitcoin having touched a new milestone on #Christmas day by hitting a new all-time high of $24,600 with yearly gains of about 236%, it still lags behind a handful of listed #American stocks in terms of yearly returns
The leader of the pack remains #Chinese car company, #Nio, often tagged the Chinese #Tesla. Nio has outperformed by 11-fold gain this year alone, pushing the #car company’s market value past car giants like American based #GeneralMotors

@AOC The reason why socialists think that #billionaires are a problem is because they believe in the myth of a zero sum world: That people can only be rich, if they take away money from the poor. However, this is plainly wrong. In fact, the opposite is true. Most billionaires... 👇🏼
@AOC have earned their wealth by hard work and clever ideas. It didn’t exist before (and hence also couldn’t be 'taken away') but was newly created by them! This process is called 'value added', meaning that the value of a new product or service is worth more than the sum of its...
@AOC components - thus, creating NEW value (=money/wealth).
But not only did the billionaires not 'steal' their money: In fact, they even created MORE value for all of us than what they earned themselves! This is reflected (1) for the costumers in the so-called 'consumer surplus'

One expert witness, who gave evidence to the ISC inquiry, has claimed privately to friends that he believes Boris Johnson was 'compromised' by a Russian businessman on a foreign trip in 2016
