Let's Make Attending Davos as Shameful as Running a Sweatshop.
Clinton laughs off questions about her speeches for Goldman Sachs.
She is a toady for the banksters, like most politicians, and equally unworthy of public office.
A voice from the Republican establishment wants the "donor class" (i.e., billionaires) to make someone other than Trump win the Republican nomination.
If they can do that, it would only prove that our elections are worthless and our government has no legitimacy.
A law professor wants to make it a crime to read web sites posted by PISSI.
He cites as a precedent the prohibition of even looking at pornography that includes minors (or adults that look like minors).
I think the argument goes the other way: this demonstrates that it is an intolerable injustice to punish people for looking at (or having a copy of) any published work whatsoever.
Walmart bullied Washington DC into dropping a minimum wage bill by threatening to cancel new stores in that city. Now it has cancelled some of them anyway.
It was foolish to trust Walmart — after all, it did not sign a contract to build those stores and keep them open for at least 10 years. But there was a bigger folly in giving Walmart what it wanted: the very idea of trying to keep Walmart in DC was foolish. Walmart reduces jobs, compared with other stores. Walmart pays workers so badly that they need public assistance.
I recommend that DC raise the minimum wage high enough to drive Walmart out completely.
