Think
how much economic activity providing all Americans safe drinking
water would generate.
Parity:
The same government that let the Wall Street bankers award
themselves millions of dollars in bonuses while the banks were
sucking the Treasury's teat also created a law that lets pension
funds cut pensions 50% or more. Why underfunding pensions should
punish the workers and not the employers is a mystery lost in a sea
of lobbyist money.
You
Don't Always Get What You Pay For:
If money were
the deciding factor in political
campaigns, Clinton
and Bush would be getting
ready for November, not Super Tuesday.
As
Always:
People
protesting the worst methane gas disaster in history have been
arrested. The people who let the leak go unrepaired for years have
been left to their ill-gotten gains. You'd think they were bankers or
some such.
Mr.
Rogers: It has
only taken Bernie Sanders 50 years to become an overnight sensation.
Clarification:
Common Core standards
were developed by the
National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School
Officers, not the federal government. Their adoption by the states
has been voluntary, not mandated by the federal government. Hey,
listen up Kansas, I'm talking to you.
In
Like Flint:
It's
not just Flint or
Hoosic
Falls or
even a small handful of places,
lead and other poisons
lurk
in
many of the nation's water supplies. Don't ask, even though what you
don't know may damage or kill your children.
Lump
Summed: As
the recovery continues,
American
corporations have just
reported
the worst quarterly earnings since 2009.
The
Parting Shot:
The Albert,52 Victoria St, London.

Where is that beautiful building?
It is The Albert, at 52 Victoria St, London not far from Westminster.
Re: Get what you pay for: The 'show' must go on! All of the 'hand-waving' is a distraction that provides 'the illusion of participation'. The Nobles cooked up this scheme when a restive public got fed up with taking 'dictation'.
We all know who is likely to be 'appointed' the next 'meat-puppet-in chief' (and few will be happy with the, er, decision, masquerading as a choice) but the whole, now two year long, 'circus' exists to lend an air of legitimacy to a thoroughly corrrupt practice.
So long as it remains 'plausible'[no matter how remotely] that our poor government and its worsening pattern of outcomes is at least partially 'our' [meaning the voter's] fault, the 'process won't change.
But as Lenny Cohen sings...Everybody Knows.
When the facts penetrate a generation's folklore that annoying ticking you hear is history waiting for you to 'do something' as the clock runs out on the current social model.
Behind it is a louder, albeit slower tick that only a few of us recognize as 'the countdown to extinction.'
Tick, tock, good citizen, the clock is saying 'them (or) you' [and they sure aren't going to let it be them...so, any last requests?]
Barry Maguire said it best "When the button is pushed there'll be no running away." Which is to belabor the obvious yet again, the time to act is BEFORE the proverbial button gets pushed.
Has anyone else noticed that almost every WTF moment/official pronouncement lately has been followed by a 'and what are you gonna do about it?'
As CKM points out, the protesters, like the 'occupiers' got arrested while the perps walked away unmolested.
Tick/Tock.
