Regarding Civility in Uncivil Times


American Capitalism
One of the biggest such deals ever, happening now: How investors allow a group of PE firms to extract $3.75 billion from a company after they’d already extracted billions. Take the money and Run!
The ‘Soft Coup’ and the Attack on the Brazilian People 
"What has been deemed a ‘soft coup’ in Brazil in 2016 stems from the same motive—the protection of corporate, foreign, and imperialist interests over the interests of the poor and working people and their right to self-determination—but comes wrapped in more palatable packaging that makes it easier to deny the violation of democracy."
The Class War the Rich Won And the End Of NeoLiberal Capitalism
"The first thing capitalists do when they “win” the markets is take their profits and use them to buy government so that they can end free markets (our markets are nowhere near competitive or free). Free markets, to anyone who has won, are a threat."

Medicare for All: How to sell it to conservatives.  from The Conservative Case for Universal Healthcare
"If we switched to single payer or another form of socialized medicine, we would actually have more money to spend on even more useless military hardware."

Krauthammer and Death
