That shit is “free for a year” but I bet that after the trial period is over, it autodebits you unless you opt out, which is only possible by calling this number which just rings and rings and there’s no website and....

Execs never get busted for insider trading. Just the small fry. And Martha.

So easily said, from the comfort of his easy chair. Let’s put you and your small kids in the middle of Nuevo Laredo in the middle of the drug war, with headless corpses in the streets. Don’t break the law by trying to come here like every one of our grandparents, who simply happened upon America when it wasn’t an…

To asthma sufferer: you don’t HAVE to breathe that air, you know....

Lol, yeah, you’re invisible. Go with that.

Uninterest, not disinterest.

It’s because government jobs help corporations not at all. Which is of course what Republicans mean when they say “more jobs.”

My wife is now a part-time political organizer (in addition to her day job). She’s been working with a voter registration organization working in VA and (I think) GA. They reported that, after registering thousands of voters, on average it cost about $100 and 12 hours of time per voter to pay for the fees and…

Henry Ford decided to go to the $5 day, over the objections of his accountants, because he needed people to buy his cars. All these companies which turn to as much automation as possible — who do they expect will be there to buy their wares?

Yo, ace, the introduction of the assembly line basically created unskilled workers from the skilled craftsmen they were formerly required to be, while, almost simultaneously, leading to the development of unions. It was clear that the auto companies did not, despite their protestations at the time, go bankrupt because…

There’s are things I find it hard not to admire about Amazon, though I may be operating on poor information. It seemed that for many years, as most pundits forecasted its demise, that Amazon pimped Wall Street’s barbaric yawp for increasing (or even visible) profits, in favor of growing (which is one thing), but,…

If only one could eat integrity. At least you can sleep at night. I hope you’re someplace that deserves you, now.

Tom Wolfe would call those retail middle management positions “gray lard” jobs. Good people, such as yourself, intelligent or humane, move on, so those who are left are the B-Ark material. It’s no wonder those places inevitably go under.

What kind of human is such a lickspittle, such a company man, that he would sell his fellow humans down the road for...what? An extra 3% raise?

I assume Whole Foods did treat their employees pretty well. But as usual, management will always sell out, given enough money. Perhaps antitrust regulators could decide that it’s not in the citizenry’s best interest for Amazon to control everything, no? Bueller?

Worker support was eroded by the brainwashing of the working class by the Republican message machine, the most successful and prolonged propaganda campaign in history. It’s the American blue collar worker who is suspicious of unions these days. Observe the automatic charges of corruption against them, while Wall…

No. Unions won when their struggle gained political recognition, when politicians were forced by public sentiment to support them, over their corporate masters. This won’t change in our age while the Republican message machine so completely hoodwinks the lower class into voting against its own interests.

That is neither here nor there when it comes to the necessity of unions. We obviously didn’t close down Wall Street banks after their corruption and incompetence almost bankrupted the country. Whelp, that’s it for capitalism... Do you set your car on fire when a CV joint breaks?

What a bunch of horseshit. That’s not why unions existed. What planet were you on in the 20th century? My grandmother unionized the auto industry with Walter Reuther. I grew up in Detroit. There were tens of thousands of middle class black families, sending the first generation of black kids to college, all because of…

By that metric, Evelyn McHale “survived” her jump off the Empire State Building:
