Monopolies Kill People
I get to write about this one because TMC doesn’t think the headline is strong enough. While we are not prudes here, her proposal would make a sailor blush and I’m not sure how to transcribe the scream of rage that punctuates the end. Also I have EpiPens, at her suggestion. I have pretty serious …

Thank Goodness For Republicans (Sort Of)
It’s no secret I think that the Trans-Pacific Partnership is the worst “trade” deal ever representing a complete corporate take over of the United States government and the end of democracy as we know it (oh, it’s also bad economically and excuses actual factual 18th and 19th Century style slavery). All 4 Presidential Campaigns (Green, …

A Nation of Cowards
It is my contention that the United States has turned into a nation of cowards. You can see the signs everywhere from Helicopter Parents to Whites who think street crime is rampant (especially from those people, you know the ones I’m talking about) when in fact it’s been in precipitous decline ever since we stopped …

Stiglitz- About That Euro
Yes, I know I talked about him yesterday but that was more focused on his anti-TPP positions. He also did a couple of interviews, one with Salon and one with Yahoo Finance Canada, discussing his view that the Euro as we know it is doomed. I told you I agreed with him a lot. Now …

I understand why people think I’m in the tank for Krugman, I quote him a lot and I have a signed first edition of End This Depression Now but the truth is I only do that (and also with my other usual suspects) when it suits me, which is to say when he makes a …
