Government, Enron style
Taibbi has an excellent piece on how Obama is lying when he covers up for the banks. It’s worth reading the whole thing, but here’s the conclusion: But by taking a dive on fraud, and orchestrating mass cover-ups like the coming foreclosure settlement fiasco, what they’re doing instead is signaling to the world that not only are our financial markets corrupt, but our government is broken as well.

And let me tell you: It’s hard to use a regular keyboard when you’re used to the ergonomic kind. I keep hitting the [...]

How companies stole worker pensions

Schultz: In December 2010, General Electric held its Annual Outlook Investor Meeting at Rockefeller Center in New York City. At the meeting, chief executive Jeffrey Immelt stood on the Saturday Night Live stage and gave the gathered analysts and shareholders a rundown on the global conglomerate’s health. But in contrast to the iconic comedy show that is filmed [...]
