The cheater has placed big corporations effectively above the law. Under Obama, they were fined 17 billion dollars a year. The cheater's saboteurs fine them only 1 billion a year.

An economic hypothesis for why US wages don't go up: with all the mergers in the US, there is little competition for employees.

When companies merge, they always say it will lead to improved "efficiency". What they mean by "efficiency" is "fewer jobs". So it is completely clear that these mergers are bad for most people.

The Guantanamo kangaroo court "trial" of prisoner al-Nashiri has come to a halt. The defense lawyers all quit because they were not allowed to meet with the defendant without being spied on.

The US government absolutely insists on spying on their conversations, and no ethical lawyer will work under those circumstances, so there is no way to resume the trial. In effect, the idea of using "military tribunals" rather than fair trials has fallen into an essential contradiction.

The root of this contradiction is the government's insistence on concealing how it tortured these prisoners. However, justice demands that that this torture be revealed, and then prosecuted. It is more important to prosecute the torture of prisoners than to prosecute anything the prisoners may have done. For a patriotic American, there can be no worse crime than a crime committed by the US government.

Egypt's thugs and courts are so crazy that even government journalists are prosecuted for "insulting the police".

A charity that helps the homeless also helped the UK government find and deport some of them.

Homeless immigrants need assurance that accepting help will not threaten them. For the same reason, they need assurance that seeking medical care or school for themselves or their children will not threaten them, and testifying in court will not threaten them.
