To illustrate how inconsequential paying 6 weeks of the "hero bonus" was to @Kroger median employee compensation in 2020 ($24,617) was actually LESS than it was in 2019 ($26,790). — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@kroger McMullin was paid $22,373,574 in 2020 and "the annual total compensation of our median employee for 2020 was $24,617." That's a 990 to 1 ratio. In 2019 the ratio was 789 to 1. In 2018 the ratio was 483 to 1. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
In 2020, @Kroger canceled it's $2/hour "hero pay" for store associates putting their lives at risk after just 6 weeks. It was in place from 3/31 to 5/17. In 2020, Kroger paid CEO Rodney McMullin $22,373,574, including a bonus of $769,231. https://t.co/k5j6txwVCZ — PolitiTweet.org

Clarification that the Dem chair could get info from government agencies and hire staff but the big decisions (including, critically, subpoenas) would have to be bipartisan — PolitiTweet.org

The proposal creates a commission that CANNOT DO ANYTHING without the agreement of at least one person appointed by Republican Congressional leadership It doesn't make much sense, but the Democrats agreed to it! Wasn't enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats literally gave McCarthy everything that he asked for in structuring the January 6 Commission and it secured the votes of just 35 House Republicans and McCarthy wasn't one of them — PolitiTweet.org

Kind of fitting that we learn about @Ford's donation to McCarthy shortly after McCarthy announces his opposition to a Commission to investigate January 6 — PolitiTweet.org

@nbashaw I am far from an expert on any of this but it seems like volatility is a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Volatility won’t stop until there is widespread adoption and acceptance. But there won’t be widespread adoption and acceptance until there is less volatility. — PolitiTweet.org
