Daily Revolution

Dan Price is the CEO who raised his company’s minimum wage to 70k a year. This made a lot of news. I was working on a morning show in Boston when this happened. I supported him from the moment I heard what he was doing & hoped for his success. I faced a lot of opposition, people - including the business owning host I was working with, laughed at Dans leadership but more importantly - hoped he failed so it wouldn’t expose them as the greedy oppressive bosses they are. Dan frightened a lot of American bosses. He’s a Revolutionary. That’s scares people.

Dan’s successes, his leadership in providing better employee conditions, and his continued vocal support for change is inspirational. I recommend following Dan on which ever virtual platform you use, and supporting him for walking the walk.

I want to share one of Dan’s tweets about the “Great Resignation” with you.

Dan is right on the money… and speaking of money…. One important aspect to Universal Healthcare is it will cost employers less - it will save companies money. But the reason Corporations lobby against it - because of the power they have over employees with healthcare being tied to employment. If healthcare is not tied to a jobs, it gives people the freedom to pursue jobs they want, not because they need healthcare. I know people who have a second job for the healthcare! When did that become part of the American Dream? Taking a second or third job because the healthcare option is better.

Tell that to a European and they might think you’re describing a nightmare.

Its sad American workers have been tricked into fighting against better conditions for themselves. The ‘American Dream’ should be everything Dan mentioned in his tweet, it’s not but it is in Europe.
Today poor & middle income people have been deceived into thinking the “American Dream” is working hard enough eventually earns you a billion. Not understanding America isn’t a meritocracy. And no one “earns” a billion. *See my previous blog titled “How to Earn Billions like Elon Musk”.
