@m2jr @CNBC Perhaps, the share value would fall a bit & the company would have to reorient executive compensation and growth. But workers would participate more in the gains of the tech revolution. — PolitiTweet.org

@m2jr @CNBC Actually, I meant market cap of $50 billion and the founder has sold over a billion in stock. Capital is very cheap for the company on a profit expectation of not paying workers properly. So what would happen if drivers made more and were treated as employees... — PolitiTweet.org

Uber is worth $50 billion & the founder has sold over a $1 billion in stock. It can afford to provide drivers a living wage, overtime, & benefits. It’s arrogant for Uber to file a lawsuit hoarding the gains of the tech revolution instead of sharing them. https://t.co/PQ4FSxIu4d — PolitiTweet.org

This is why a quarter of Americans with diabetes are rationing the insulin they need to survive. We are going to finally end Big Pharma’s greed in 2020 and lower the cost of insulin in the United States. https://t.co/qC2R20K9JY — PolitiTweet.org

The number of cities and counties with at least a $15 minimum wage will double in 2020 to 32. This wouldn’t have happened without the dedicated activism from @FightFor15, unions, grassroots orgs and workers across the country fighting for dignity. https://t.co/c26TKusJfc — PolitiTweet.org

This year’s blackouts likely cost customers more than $10B. Now PG&E says that they will need to do these large-scale blackouts for five years — all because they mismanaged their power grid. It's clear that PG&E needs to become a public-owned utility. https://t.co/cBpVK76XLb — PolitiTweet.org

You don’t get a break on your Amazon Prime membership. Why should Amazon get a massive break on paying taxes when they made $232 billion in revenue last year? https://t.co/gC19GNqTpW — PolitiTweet.org

MYTH: The GOP tax cuts will boost the economy and give a raise to the working class. REALITY: Corporate tax revenue fell 31 percent, most Americans haven’t noticed a difference and the economy grew 2.9% — the same rate as 2015. https://t.co/rZo0et0hxe — PolitiTweet.org

@daveweigel Of course, not every coal miner wants to become a coder! But we can invest in tech hubs, in infrastructure, in clean tech so that the gains of the modern economy aren’t concentrated on the coasts. We can offer real, modern jobs while Trump sells the past. — PolitiTweet.org

@daveweigel Republican Hal Rogers, in the heart of coal country, refers to his district as Silicon Holler. It’s about diversifying the economy by bringing new industry & opportunities so young people can find a good job in the place they grew up. https://t.co/Z5JkeilgT8 — PolitiTweet.org

Homelessness gets worse because many of the solutions criminalize poverty instead of addressing the root causes. We need investments in affordable housing but also health care, mental health counseling, workforce development and job placement assistance. https://t.co/lEBsr7jB02 — PolitiTweet.org

Devon Wade’s story is heartbreaking. His short life shows the deep scars of racism, joblessness, and incarceration, but also points to a flickering hope for redemption. https://t.co/JYaff1hSj1 — PolitiTweet.org

Will Mitch McConnell finally start doing his job in 2020? Asking for millions of Americans who demand action on campaign finance reform, immigration, climate change, pay equity, restoring net neutrality, ending gun violence, stopping LGBTQ+ discrimination, and so much more. https://t.co/hBgzD7Bbjn — PolitiTweet.org

Our involvement in Yemen is good for defense contractors that do business with the Saudis but it’s left tens of thousands of Yemeni civilians dead and millions more starving to death. In 2020, we will continue fighting to end the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. #YemenCantWait — PolitiTweet.org

Larry Cohen sums it up best: Voters want change, not centrism. We need to stand for the working and middle class on wages, healthcare, education and jobs! Over 70% agree with him. Please RT and vote to make our voices heard in the media! https://t.co/ojGd0rfa7K — PolitiTweet.org

Exports are less than 20% of China’s GDP & the US is less than 20% of China’s exports. Trump’s trade war impacts less than 4% of China’s GDP — lots of low wage work they are transitioning from. To win, would it not be better if the US had a strategic plan for innovation & growth? — PolitiTweet.org
