Don't
worry, it's all part of the plan.
Prize
Students? The
US is aiding and enabling Saudi Arabia's genocidal war against Yemen
while the Saudis send weaponry to
the Syrian rebel groups the US has officially abandoned.
Noted:
Accepting
the
evidence on
climate change “doesn’t make you liberal, it makes you
scientifically literate.”
Good
Question:
Why
did
we ever think a
political party that hates government would
be able to govern?
Ah,
I Think I See The Problem:
GOP wannabe John Kasich says he would happily have people mad at him
as long as he can accomplish his goals because, he says, “I’m
not there to run a popularity contest.” Actually,
sir, you are. And if you don't win it, you will accomplish diddley
poo.
Denial:
Obama is trying to convince us (or himself?) that Putin's air war in
Syria is due to American success in their war against Assad.
Look
This Way: The
FBI wants to develop systems that will let their agents collect
identifying pictures and fingerprints of people “in the field” -
without necessarily asking their subjects to pose. Don't be shy, you
want to be in their massive biometrics database, don't you?
Privatization:
The former head of Chicago's schools – pleading guilty to $23
million in bribes - didn't understand that privatizing the schools
was supposed to benefit the students, too.
Clarification:
Valeant Pharmaceuticals'
smug
CEO, whose company has raised the prices of its drugs by up to 800%
this year, points out that the company is not a charity
but is in the business of maximizing shareholder profits. If that
means selling fewer drugs for a higher mark-up, then that's what they
will do – the health of the sick is not their
concern.

Quote:
“Signing up to the TPP is like buying a used car over the phone...
with [only the] glowing assurances from the dealer that ‘she’s a
beauty'”

Re "Clarification": And that pretty much sums-up the basic problem with the so-called "health care industry" in the U.S. of A. Basing health care decisions primarily on profit margins is sociopathic in the extreme. Having arrived at that outcome should come as no surprise though since most of the "leaders" in government and industry are sociopaths. Doesn't say much for the electorate does it?
Let us never forget who unleashed this monster upon us, it was none other than the Sainted Ronald Reagan.
This is what HMO's morphed into, far cry from $2 co-pays and $20 a month.
I'd opine it's not so much socio-paths as 'opportunists', the law is in their pocket and the public is powerless, don't have to be a psycho to take advantage of those circumstances.
Which only highlights the fact that we don't have 'legal problems', we have serious Justice issues.
