The grifter and his siblings cheated thousands of rental tenants in the 1990s, and got millions of dollars this way.

US hospitals hold patients to ransom by refusing to tell them what their medical treatment will cost. The most trivial treatments can cost thousands of dollars, and bigger ones can cost hundreds of thousands.

I think we should not allow for-profit hospitals. However, even not-for-profit hospitals are drivel by the same systemic imperatives.

Uber does not allow drivers to sue — it requires them to use arbitration for disputes with the company. But they can't actually use arbitration because Uber won't let them start cases.

We should not allow companies to impose a requirement for arbitration rather than a lawsuit, not on customers and not on workers.

Saifullah Paracha was a successful businessman in Pakistan, who was sent to Guantanamo and tortured, then arbitrarily sentenced to life imprisonment without trial.

It is not clear that he is innocent of intentionally helping a terrorist, but there is plenty of room for reasonable doubt about the accusation. The US should release him and apologize.

Every prisoner in Guantanamo should get a fair trial or be released. So what if some of them were real Islamist terrorists? There are thousands of real Islamist terrorists on the loose, and Salafi Arabia's extreme worldwide Islamist education system pre-radicalizes thousands, perhaps millions, every year. Keeping prisoners in Guantanamo changes only one thing: it gives people a reason to refuse to respect or admire the US.

The Euro keeps countries permanently trapped in poverty by putting the banksters above every country.
