What are stock buybacks, then?
What’s their purpose and benefit?
And why were they apparently illegal until reaganomics?
Strikes
Re: Strikes
Can't answer that without answering what the purpose of stock is in the first place. If a company has the ability to share profits by issuing stock, they should have the right to de-issue it.
Speaking of the zero-hunger-zero-waste thing...
Kroger is my company's parent company. We hold an annual auction to raise money for those charities. I hadn't cut my hair since the start of the pandemic. My co-workers thought it would be fun for people to auction to choose a new doo for me. I said OK. Perm beat out mohawk and bowl cut. So now my head looks like it has pubes. But we did raise over a grand for charity for it.

Re: Strikes
A stock buyback is when the company buys back their shares on the (open) marketplace with its' cash on hand. Those shares are then absorbed by the company and the total number of shares outstanding are reduced.
This is good for all parties involved. People selling their shares (often at an increasing price). People who own shares. And the company. These are publicly traded companies. I own amazon stock, facebook stock, google, apple, etc. Buybacks aren't always some boogieman.

Also, we don’t hear about it much in the mainstream media but there’s strikes going on right now.

Heck, let’s get the middle class back!
How rad would it be if the narrative was less about space tourism, and more about more full time workers maybe even being able to afford their own home again.

Re: Strikes
Wasn’t that car collision a couple months ago now?
The latest headline I see is that union workers from around the country are going to support the Alabama miners
If only worker’s strikes in this country got as much press as billionaire cock rockets

Re: Strikes
it may have been
the story i was listening to over lunch didn’t provide a date, but apparently it’s happened multiple times
Re: Strikes
and speaking of workers in Alabama, guess which online retail giant’s employees might get another vote to unionize!
Apparently the first vote is being criticized for a number of reasons, including a mailbox/ballot drop box and whether it was being monitored or accessed by Amazon.
among other lulz:

The hearing provided additional insight into Amazon's anti-union tactics. One Bessemer worker testified that during mandatory meetings at the warehouse, managers said the facility could shut down if staff voted to unionize. Other workers said they were told that the union would waste their dues on fancy vacations and cars.
