Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

There is no cease fire! The news media needs to stop calling it that. A cease fire explicitly suggests the ceasing of firing. This alleged "deal" is bullshit fabricated and orchestrated by the White House. It's fucking Donald Trump. It's a scam.
