This week's Petulant Plutocrat is: Elizabeth Uihlein, the billionaire president of the Wisconsin-based Uline, a giant distributor of shipping and industrial supplies that she and her husband Richard — an heir to the Schlitz Brewing Company fortune — founded in 1980.

What has Uihlein sour: Employees with the gall to leave Uline’s employ within two years after their hiring. In her letter to customers that appears regularly in Uline’s thick product catalogues, Uihlein has blasted these employees for wasting the “precious resources” used to train them. She blames Obama’s Affordable Care Act for encouraging young people — who can stay on their parents’ health insurance until age 26 — to “go where the grass looks greener.”

Uline’s 9,000 employees have helped Liz Uihlein to a $6.1-billion personal fortune. She and her husband Dick have given some $400 million to right-wing candidates over the years, making the couple, Forbes notes, “one of the top” political donors in the United States.

The last word: Workers at the privately held Uline are buzzing about a resignation letter that an up-and-coming 32-year-old employee shared last week via an email that circulated company-wide. Noted the resigning Laura Wittmann: “As America descends rapidly into fascism, I can no longer work to grow the personal fortunes of people who helped make it so.”

Uline management had Wittman’s email erased 40 minutes after she shared it.

🥳 Hi everyone! This month of February I have two classes for teaching my expert techniques in managing hand to shoulder chronic pain, acute strain, and nerve related pain from thoracic outlet syndrome and other conditions of the brachial plexus. This is a self care class.

I have 2 free tickets for each class available now. 😊

HTTPS://bodyworkwithaera.com/events

I also have regular writing about my medical topics of interest at kofi, which are not behind a paywall, but your one time or monthly contribution encourages me to keep going and helps me provide $0 care to members of our community! 😌

Https://ko-fi.com/ccaera

My sublet is still available for rent! It’s below market rate and great for someone with a small or medium sized practice. Up to 4 days per week are available. 🥰

Https://subletwithaera.carrd.co

Also I am having a special on online 1:1 Self Care Interventions for TMJ, teeth clenching, migraines, headaches, and facial pain. These hour personalized classes are usually $135/hr , but I am offering them for this month and topic only for $75! I won’t be teaching my live virtual workshop until the late summer! This is a great deal! 😎

Lastly, if you just want to send me $5 to enable me to provide $0 care to others, and do not want to use kofi, I have my alternative methods here:
