UPS CEO’s Political Donations Boost Anti-Union Republicans

In a 2021 interview with the New York Times, UPS CEO Carol Tomé made a striking claim: She no longer believed in the godfather of trickle-down economics. “For a long time, I was sort of a Milton Friedman person: ‘The purpose of the corporation is to create value for the shareholder.’ I’m very much now of the belief that if you take care of the needs of all stakeholders, you actually create value for the share price. And taking care of the needs of all the stakeholders includes your employees.”The change of heart was a remarkable admission for a C-suite executive who had paid little public attention to the question of workers rights during her two decades as a leader in corporate America. Yet even as Tomé positioned herself as a friend of the workers who make her company run, she continued to donate money to national Republicans set on gutting worker power and maximizing salaries for America’s top earners.Tomé has donated over $70,000 in the past decade to national politicians and co...

Viewpoint: Tourists are the answer to save downtown, not federal workers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:50:04 GMT

Louis Kahn, one of the greatest American architects of the 20th century, used to talk to bricks. When he’d ask a brick what it wanted to be, he’d say the brick would inevitably answer, “an arch.” And surely enough, Kahn created some phenomenally beautiful brick arches in his various projects across the world. If Kahn were alive today and were to ask an office building what it wanted to be, the words he would be least likely to hear would be “an apartment building.”Yes, exceptions exist but as has been widely documented, the characteristics that make structures well suited to serve office workers are generally the same characteristics that make them ill suited to serve residents. Retrofitting office buildings to become apartments is climatically responsible and needs to be part of the solution to reimagining downtowns. The economics of such transformations, however, require significant subsidies and write downs in asset values. Absent those subsidies, the likelihood of conversions…Re...
