Is so violent and wretched a swine
That even old AIPAC
Takes a startled step way back
When he speaks what is on his foul mind

Once all the money’s in your pockets, the system can collapse, and all the people in its hospital beds can go fuck themselves.
Economic inequality has reached a staggering milestone in Silicon Valley: just nine households hold 15% of the region’s wealth, according to new research from San Jose State University. A mere 0.1% of residents hold 71% of the tech hub’s wealth.
He got so desperate that he gave it to the … American Cancer Society. The idea is that they sell it and pocket the money – tens of millions, if there’s any justice in the world – for their good works.
But no one wants what is now the ACS’s house, a vast metastasized monument to greed and contempt.
No one has lived there for years.
And as the years go by, the ACS has attempted to solve its problem (taxes, upkeep, security?) through surgery. It has cut and cut and cut and cut the asking price for this diseased thing.
Today they did more cutting. It’s all the way down to $25 million.
True-blue American terrorist gets life in prison. Good.
Final paragraph:
We have the power to stop, through more sensible tax and regulatory policies and a resurgence of union organizing, the torrent of wealth flowing upward to billionaires. I worry a lot about what will happen if we don’t act soon. Many people fear an abrupt end to democracy under Trump. I don’t, especially. What I do fear, though, is that unless we find a way to correct the wealth-based power imbalance that gave us Trump in the first place, our democracy will flicker out more gradually. To paraphrase Louis Brandeis: We can keep our democracy, or we can hatch our first trillionaire.
Background here. Thieving agriculture ministers were found out, and then they were both promoted. This is Greece, after all.

Off she goes, hissing and spitting all the way.

Like others in the European parliament, France’s most popular politician embezzled from it. Transferred money meant for administrative staff to her party. Just got four pretend years in prison (two suspended, and for the rest she has to don some hardware), AND can’t run for office for five years, so that means she can’t be in the next presidential election.
With wonderful French hauteur, she left the courtroom before the judge finished announcing the sentence. I burst my pimples at you and call your be punished for breaking the law request a silly thing.
Greedy Nicholas Sarkozy, another bigtime French politician, is as we speak trying to avoid his own jail sentences for multiple financial crimes. It’s un petit peu grody over there à ce moment-là.
