I’m going to guess that most people have already forgotten the tragedy of Rana Plaza. It’s far, far away for most Westerners. But, in Bangladesh, the horror of Rana has left at least the workers ready to press on to upgrade life.

Not So Fast, Jamie
Posted on 01 November 2013.
A couple of days ago, I mentioned how Jamie Dimon and his band of corporate lawyers were planning to fleece the people — again.

Paul Wellstone: 11 Years Gone
Posted on 25 October 2013.
Each year, I mark this day with a posting about Paul Wellstone — the day he died 11 years ago in a plane crash while campaigning for re-election. This year it seems just as relevant — can you imagine how different the world might be if he was still in the U.S. Senate…or maybe in The White House?

Jamie’s Daily Crime Blotter
Posted on 24 October 2013.
It just hit me how we can make money off of Jamie Dimon — it’s a *weekly* crime show, or even a reality show. Because every day you wake up you’d have new material for the show. Seriously. Like today.

Bank of America: Guilty
Posted on 23 October 2013.
Maybe I’m naive or just stubborn (yes) or both but I can’t get too excited by today’s news of a judgement against Bank of America. Because it doesn’t change much down the road. You’ll see why.
