The root of many of our economic problems

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
Several articles in recent years have focused on the so-called " financialization" of business and commerce. I'll highlight a couple of them here. I think they explain very clearly why our economy is out of balance. Basically: - This is how you get a company like Bain Capital, asset-stripping the companies it buys, maximizing "shareholder value", and then selling off the stripped shell, leaving employees without jobs or pensions. Its primary focus is on finance, not production. - This is how you get product pricing that has nothing whatsoever to do with the in... more »

Viv at The Carbon Sense Coalition - 17 hours ago

For the many not the you-know-who

sue at Is the BBC biased? - 17 hours ago
I just experienced a few brief moments of schadenfreude after reading an article headed: *Amnesty International has toxic working culture, report finds.* It wasn’t only from learning about the “widespread bullying, public humiliation, discrimination and other abuses of power”, or the sad fact that “two staff members killed themselves last year.” Nor was it merely the ”evidence of nepotism and hypocrisy “ or that “multiple reports of managers belittling staff in meetings, deliberately excluding certain staff from reporting, or making demeaning, menacing comments like: ‘You’re shit!’... more »

The U.S. Navy's New Frigate Could Pack a Serious Punch (Think Lasers and Missiles)

David Axe at Test Feed Using Fields - 18 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * Extra firepower without extra cost. The Navy originally conceived of the FFG(X) frigate as a small, inexpensive warship with modest combat capabilities that would complement the fleet's bigger, pricier and more sophisticated destroyers and cruisers. But in the five years since the sailing branch decided it needed a new frigate, the FFG(X) has grown in sophistication. The warship the Navy projects it will start building in 2020 could feature many of the same weapons and sensors as bigger ships. And it could have extra space and power for future upgrades. ... more »

LL at Virtual Mirage - 18 hours ago
*Elizabeth Warren* She thinks that she can be president, but I think that star is setting on one (former) Native American. Oh, she'll be there on the stage with the other 46 people who are seeking the Democrat Party nomination. Wild horses could not keep her from the pulpit as she spew her views. But racial appropriation has become an issue. And everyone now knows that she's a fake Indian. It was a good run. People gave her jobs and she made a lot of money on the back of that Indian legend. But now she's a sideshow attraction and isn't ready for prime time. She's many moons old, s... more »

“I Will Never Fully Recover” — Artist’s Poisoning Shows the Dark Side of Shellfish

Yelena Sukhoterina at AltHealthWorks.com - 19 hours ago
Toronto-based artist Gillian Genser wanted to work with only natural materials since the beginning of her sculpting career in 1991. She used bones, corals, eggshells, dried plants, and other “dead things” to give these objects a second life as Adam from the Bible, or Lilith, or subjects of folklore. Everything was going well until she started using blue mussel shells in 1998. Unexpectedly to her, this natural material ended up giving her heavy metal poisoning and completely destroying her health and life, as was reported by Toronto Life.

Trump Inaugural Committee Ordered to Hand Over Documents to Federal Investigators

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
What makes this odd is that it is seriously reckless. I do suspect now though that what is really happening is that the DEMs are been encouraged everywhere to overreach in order to establish plenty of precedent. As of this week. the DOJ will be completely restored to its full and awesome power and integrity. It took all two years. For the past two years, the Trump administration has been routinely hassled with at best vexatious judicial assault none of it bearing fruit. At the same time we have had a very public discussion and investigation of the various criminal actions take... more »

For How to Change Your Mind author Michael Pollan, journalism is a real trip

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
[image: Influential author Michael Pollan’s latest book is the heady How to Change Your Mind.] I have followed his work for a number of years and to be fair he remains unique in his central focus and this should not be true. There is actually no more important story niche on this world. Plenty of folks are adding to our knowledge base and reportage is slight and that is it. Good coverage encourages both the prime mover, but also the necessary army of potential imitators which is particularly true in agriculture were a single family can produce an innovative farm story.... more »

Islamic Invasion of Indian Subcontinent

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
600 million reduced to 200 million by the sword. This compares directly to the 100 million reduced to 5 million accidentally by the Europeans in the Americas. I use the word accidental simply because they never actually saw most of those who died. Yet the Muslims made such slaughter a duty and used the most ignorant barbaric tribal to do the dirty work. The same practice was also used on them by the Mongols as well. Suddenly European conquest looks positively benign. In fact, its general continence is looked for in order to block any backsliding. This potential must be g... more »

*by Noah* They used to hang traitors. Now, they let them give speeches to the nation on national TV. Not only that, but elected officials, welcome them, applaud them, cheer them on, and even give them standing ovations. Meanwhile, the corporately-steered media refuses to see anything odd or wrong with that. Why would they when corporations love politicians who are so easily bought and sold, even if it's by and to our enemies? As for the voters, they, too, are unindicted co-conspirators.
