The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.
This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.
He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.
This is a diseased society.

As corporations shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many have said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.
Also remember that profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.

that was literally 20 years ago. thanks for proving my point that Heels fans stormed because they know which program is on top at the moment and it ain’t Carolina.
Not for nothing, but the last time Cameron was stormed was when Duke was #1 and they beat an unranked team (VT). Granted, it was an almost half-court buzzer beater, but still. C'mon, #1 v. unranked?
pretty telling that they stormed the court, tho, huh? not gonna see that at Cameron.
