Politicians
believe that voters can be talked into ignoring their own
experiences.
Confusion:
Why is it that FOX can slant the news and promote conservative
nonsense but Facebook can't? I thought freedom of the press belonged
to the guy that owns the press. I'm a lot more offended that
Facebook thinks it is alright to
watch and listen to you over your cell phone.
Shame:
Logging in Poland's
Bialowieza
forest has begun. This is the last large stand of primeval trees
remaining in Europe and their destruction by Polish capitalists who
want to turn the trees into euros is a dispicable as cutting down the
Redwoods would be. Oh, wait...
Discuss:
Do you want your wife and daughter to ride on a bus in India
now
that the government is going to
install panic buttons “to curb sex attacks?”
Install
Linux:
If you are tired of Microsoft's
“deceitful and nasty” bullying to force you to install yet
another buggy version of Windows, why don't you get Linux – either
the Ubuntu
or Mint flavors
of linux are pretty easy for those switching from Windows.
Free
At Last:
A US appellant court let BofA out of paying the $1.27 billion fraud
penalty over Countrywide's defective mortgages because “"The
trial evidence fails to demonstrate the contemporaneous fraudulent
intent” necessary to prove that the fraud was intentional. Mind you
the fraud occurred, several billion dollars worth of it, but it
wasn't intentional. Citibank shouldn't rush to pay their $425
million fine
for “blatant rigging” of interest rates. After all, it may
be “blatant” but surely
it wasn't “intentional.” Even
though CFTC
has imposed over $5.08 billion in penalties against banks and brokers
to address rigging and manipulation various
markets, no one has been charged with a crime, much less actually
prosecuted or
jailed.
Wordsmithery:
Senator Elizabeth Warren sees Donald Trump as a “small, insecure
moneygrubber.” He thought it was a compliment.
Safety
First:
Republicans have voted to void regulations that would require that
financial advisers act in the best interest of their clients. They
argued that if financial advisers have to act in the best interest of
their clients there would not be enough profit in it to make it
worthwhile.
Self-serving
understatement:
Shell's
CEO warns that
shifting to renewable energy sources too quickly might “imperil
dividends.”

Um, you're missing an 'o' in the first Poland (or it could be me, I so terribly 'unhip' that I'd confuse that with a typo...maybe you meant to type Pland)
re Self-serving understatement: The same could be said of the immediate and dire need to switch from capitalism but 'investors' don't anticipate that happening anytime soon...which brings us full circle to

Foxy Fecesbook / Gawker gets groped -- and the press was never independent.
Peter Theil goes after Gawker gets as much noise, both are nothing new. Perhaps because it's new media and not old media, who've already been jumping through hoops and licking jackboots so long it's perceived as normal behavior. After all, the overseas press has been reporting on Bill and Jeffery Epstein** mutual travels and shared interests for over 8 years, and hardly a peep in the USA. The Young Turks are treating this story as if it's something unknown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4F-MiQIGIU
For those who do live in a cave, Jeffery Epstein, Hill-Billy Clinton's friend, convicted pedophile fellow traveler and billionaire donor (flew Billy 27 times on his pimp-mobile private jet) threatens federal prosecutors and they take this as a legitimate excuse to do what they always want to do when facing rich clients, accept bribes and fold shop. Note the point about hidden cameras and blackmail, the man is nearly untouchable.
George A: Okay, I went back and snuck an "o" in, but I really like Pland... just can't find a way to make it useful.
[grin!]
