FAA oversees, inspects, certifies airplanes. Short of funds, it pays outside inspectors including Boeing employees. Boeing 737 crashes raise questions about this control of profit-driven firms. #HowCapitalimWorks

Corporations are endangering Americans. Trump doesn't care | Robert Reich
These are just tips of a vast iceberg of regulatory neglect, frozen into place by Trump’s appointees, of which at least 187 were lobbyists before they joined the administration.
This is trickle-down economics of a different sort than Trump’s corporate tax cuts. The major beneficiaries of this are the same big corporations, including their top executives and major investors. But these burdens are trickling down as unsafe products, fraudulent services, loss of privacy, even loss of life.
Big money has had an inhibiting effect on regulators in several previous administrations. What’s unique under Trump is the blatancy of it all, and the shameless willingness of Trump appointees to turn a blind eye to corporate wrongdoing.
Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress yell “socialism!” at proposals for better balancing private greed with the common good. Yet unless a better balance is achieved, capitalism as we know it is in deep trouble.

You’re so cute.
its true, one of the only youtube places i know where you can constantly hear of banksters being given the guillotine and good a good laugh is keiser report
so im reading chris hedges new book at work, america the farewell tour. its really heart breaking. this guys soon to be wife OD'd. he was going to put a wedding ring on her for the funeral.
the second chapter is about the overdose problem. big drug companies wined and dined doctors and overdosing is now the #1 killer for americans under 50. america has spent 1 trillion on the war of drugs since it was announced. america spends that amount of money on the dept of war every year. chris hedges encourages america copy the portugese model where they treat users instead of punish them.

This is absurd. Trump has the worst environmental record of any president in history. -He installed a coal lobbyist as head of the EPA -He appointed an oil and gas lobbyist to run the Department of Interior -He's actively rolling back the Clean Power Plan & Clean Car standards

Trump is planning a speech to tout his environmental record after spending two years aggressively seeking to roll back climate rules Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Yikes, that is tragic.
Good news Ricky, America has adopted a more lenient stance on addicts. Very few addicts are sent to prison without multiple chances at state rehab facilities. My brother has been twice, his “friends” as well.
I only know one addict who has been to prison, he had multiple chances at rehab as well.

They also aren’t branded felons if they graduate their rehab.
is the govt adequately funding its state rehab facilities? or is it like everything else: underfunded

ing Neanderthals here.buddy is going back to jail for violating parole.
amazing how average people go to jail, and yet no one on wall st has been arrested yet for their financial crimes and destroying the world economy.
at best they just have to pay a fine, and since their business model is fraud, its just the cost of doing business.
