Catching Up


Corporate America

Strip-mining America since the 80's.

Dollar General is a part of Americana worth saving and celebrating


If Americans Work So Hard, Why Do They Only Get Poorer?
"Americans work the longest hours — by a very, very long way — of any rich country. They work so hard, it’s almost ludicrous. And yet their lives have only gotten worse, and their society has collapsed."


Media

Meghan McCain hits Hillary Clinton for her Bernie Sanders jab: 'It's stupid and it's juvenile' - And Meghan McCain knows stupid and juvenile.

The Rude Pundit Nails it.

Bernie and the Ds

Corporate Media Are the Real ‘Sanders Attack Machine’ - Corporate is the key word. Corporate media, corporate leaders, and corporate politicians all are working against Bernie.


Good post here:    The Party’s Over: Bernie’s Last Dance With the Dems
"Bernie himself is the same as he ever was. A moderate welfare-state Social Democrat, not a socialist or even anti-capitalist; anti-war with an historically anti-imperialist, but now imperialist-accommodating, tinge; nominally independent but functionally an auxiliary Democrat; fiercely critical of Republicans but stubbornly shy about criticizing Democratic colleagues. He is also, I think, honest and trustworthy. You can see that he takes and fights for the positions he does because he believes in them, not because he is opportunistically pandering to a specific audience segment or to the donor class."
and 
"That’s because there is a difference in kind between Bernie and the other Democratic candidates, a difference unlike the differences among them. It’s the difference between a principled Social Democratic program to meet human needs, based on and supported by a mass movement, and a program of neoliberal tinkering to protect profit-making possibilities, based on and supported by capitalist donors/the donor class."


Not Russia

Pro-Israel group working against Jewish politician? The American political class is really fucked up.
