Ayn Rand Hates AmericaMay God bless the family and loved ones of Eleanor Mondale who lost her fight to cancerPrivatizing is the answer...to the question: "How can we maximize corruption?"
Ayn Rand would be proud From The New York Times: Couple Accused of Stealing Millions Intended for Preschoolers’ Meals. A complaint accuses Joanna Fan and her husband, Ziming Shen, of siphoning money from accounts of the Red Apple Child Development Center. http://nyti.ms/oXYREq
I am not an attorney, but this may be a bit shady
From The New York Times today: The lawyer for the Securities and Exchange Commission who determined the scope and nature of reimbursements for Madoff victims actually lost 2 mil to Ol Bern. Proving again money is about interest and principle : conflict of interest and lack of principle. http://nyti.ms/njEhzS
Across the land, Republicans weepRomney in particular, as he mourns the wealth that was not created. Quoting It is the first new labor pact for any of the Detroit carmakers since G.M. and Chrysler received government bailouts and went through bankruptcy in 2009. The deal will help G.M.’s 48,500 union workers share in the company’s turnaround and should give them more job security, two top priorities for the U.A.W., though the tenuous nature of the economic recovery will continue to inject some uncertainty. G.M. said the deal would cover four years. The union declined to give details but said the agreement included improved profit-sharing and “significant improvements to health care benefits.” The deal was also expected to include so-called signing bonuses worth at least several thousand dollars. And the U.A.W. had been seeking a wage increase for entry-level workers, who earn about half as much as other workers. The union said in a statement that it had successfully fought G.M.’s proposals to weaken retirement benefits and obtain major concessions to health benefits. “In both pensions and health care, the U.A.W. was able to convince G.M. that far greater success could be achieved working together than by cutting pensions or health care,” it said.

Republican prosperity in one chartThere is a moral to this story: never,ever forget. And never forget to vote.Republican governors A collection of new governors in battleground states are stirring things up COLUMBUS, OHIO “HERE’S a great quote,” says John Kasich, the governor of Ohio, reading from an article about the cuts he instigated to the state’s subsidies for nursing homes, “‘It took a real bastard to change things.’” Mr Kasich (pictured) is one of a new crop of Republican governors, including Chris Christie of New Jersey, Rick Scott of Florida and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who seem to relish putting noses out of joint. Their obstreperousness is all the more remarkable given that they are all from swing states, or, in the case of Mr Christie, a resolutely Democratic one. Whether their tactics will help to cement the Republicans’ new-found advantage in those places or doom them to transience is a subject of heated debate. Class warfare against the poor? There's an App for that. Don't buy it
Grandma Greed goes to the App store. Apple Shrugs
Interesting article about Whole Foods priming customersThis is just coincidentally about Whole Foods, as most big corporations do this. I do not shop at Whole Foods because their CEO is an Objectivist, one of Ayn Rand's cult. Remember that next time you pay inflated prices there
The hypothetical man that died and made the Tea Party happy wasn't so hypotheticalMillion dollar quote here: For all the hysteria over "death panels", it is Republican policies that kill people, and Susan's story is vividly (and painfully) educating thousands as it spreads virally around the country. Susan from 29's powerful story goes viral http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/09/16/1017473/-Susan-from-29s-powerful-story-goesviral(Sent from Flipboard) My, my, this ruins Sarah Palin's street cred with Tea Party |
