August 21 - September 9, 2018 US Prison Strike

I walk the glittering midnight streets.  I pass the devil who smiles and nods.  I nod back and go my way.

Wall Street and Trump are about to kill the CFPB, the only government agency that effectively polices bank scams, crimes and frauds

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (previously) is practically the only US regulator we can be proud of – founded by Elizabeth Warren before she ran for the Senate, the CFRB is a consumer protection agency that has been at the forefront of reining in criminal activities like Wells Fargo’s nationwide frauds and Equifax’s dox attack on the USA, as well as being the best defense Americans have against predatory loan-sharks masquerading as “payday lenders,” abusive debt-collectors, racial discrimination in lending, and the student loan racket.

So naturally big business and Trump hate it.

Last month, the GOP reversed the CFRB rule that ensured that Americans could sue banks that defrauded them, but that was just for starters.

Now, CFRB director Richard Cordray is stepping down, likely in a bid for to be the next governor of Ohio, and his departure is a dream come true for the likes of Ted Cruz, who called the consumer protection agency “an out-of-control bureaucracy” and introduced legislation to abolish it; it’s also great news for Senator Ben Sasse [R-NE] who said that “King Richard” should be fired.

The CFRB has been buried in an avalanche of frivolous, well-funded lawsuits, while the likes of Breitbart has whipped up its low-information base to call for the demise of the bureau. These alt-right hordes have been supplemented by massive, well-funded astroturf efforts that also offered huge paydays to the likes of Newt Gingrich.

There are unbelievably large pools of dark money sloshing around in the fight to kill the CFRB. Organizations like the “U.S. Consumers Coalition” won’t reveal their funders and their principal competitors for anti-CFRB is “Protect America’s Consumers,” whose funders are also a secret. But their attack-ads, deceptive reports, and planted news stories are very visible indeed.

Star Trek is radical in so many ways people often forget.

I’m pretty sure the federation is a socialist utopia but go off I guess

[thewilytouchstone]

This future isn’t even on the communist-capitalist scale that we only think of when it comes to contemporary economics. The United Federation of Planets is a “non-monetary economy” where internal capital does not exist, people can get whatever they need when they need it thanks to advanced technology and highly-efficient distribution systems, and trade with external organizations is funded through monitored allowances so as not to destabilize foreign economies.

Basically, the idea is that once the survival and comfort needs of a population are met then they can devote all their time to personal, community, and societal enrichment by pursuing their own dreams free of worry. Want to be a scientist? Go to school tuition free and have access to all the lab equipment you need. Want to be a gourmet chef? Find a kitchen you like or open one on your own and cook as much as you want. Want to explore the galaxy? You can still do any of that other stuff, but now you do it on a spaceship!

President Trump on Wednesday pitched a sweeping tax overhaul that he said would unleash the American economy and growth to help ordinary people, promising that a vague recipe of large corporate tax cuts and individual tax reductions would boost the middle class.

Trump in Missouri Lays Groundwork for Tax Overhaul but Offers No Details

They have been telling this lie since Reagan in 1980. It was bullshit then, and it’s bullshit now. Tax cuts on wealthy people and tax cuts on corporations do not make life better for the middle class or anyone who isn’t already wealthy.

The Riddle of Steel... a brief history of ancient metalworking

Let’s say you need a hammer. You could go to the nearest hardware store and buy one. After all, that is what most people would do, right? Or you could mine/source iron ore, smelt it to get iron,

At one time there were voiceover artists, now there are celebrity voiceover artists. It's unfortunate because these people need the money less than the voiceover artist.
