Wall Street 'business model' a fraud - says Sanders.

Well let's face it - that's not exactly ground-breaking to most Americans stiffed with service and overdraft charges, low savings rates and high loan interest rates.

That’s tantamount to confessing that they need to bilk ordinary customers – by doing things like hiding overdraft charges, making checks bounce by manipulating the order in which they’re cashed, and charging excessive ATM fees – in order to make money as a consumer bank.

But that’s not the only line of business where banks commit fraud. The major offenses committed by our largest banks include “price fixing, bid rigging, market manipulation, money laundering, document forgery, lying to investors, sanctions-evading, and tax dodging.”

That he states it is just being honest.

Then you have people like Clinton who says that banks need to play by the 'rules'. And .. if the number 1 rule is make as much money as possible in as short a time as possible, foregoing any other risks - what do you do then?

Disgusting ... the true colors of the NHL 'leaders' (i.e. owners' bitches) at work.

Damning for sure -

“I could sum up in one line… NFL is in the business of selling that they are making the game of football safer at all levels -- it is smoke and mirrors but they are masters of smoke and mirrors,” Meagher replied on Aug. 4. “The nhl has never been in the business of trying to make the game safer at all levels and we have never tried to sell the fact that this is who we are… The question is: should we be in that business and if we were, what could we possibly achieve without throwing millions of dollars at education.”
Berland replied: “Very cynical, Gary. Is that your real response?

“Not cynical at all,” Meagher answered. “NFL invests hundreds of thousands of dollars each year around their pr campaign to deal with violence … They produce concussion websites, send former players around teaching young players how to play the game safer, they produce videos for young football players ... I could go on and on ... We do none of that and don’t view it as an important part of our mandate … NFL views their role as being leaders in the game of football …”

Cashman, one of the lawyers for the former players, told TSN that Meagher’s email is evidence that the NHL “has never been serious about player safety at all levels of hockey and has been unwilling to spend the money necessary to be a true leader.”

“This and other unsealed documents demonstrate that the NHL sells and promotes violence – hate, as admitted by NHL executive vice-president Colin Campbell – and that its concussion program appears to have been a public relations ploy to make it look like the NHL has been doing something about concussions and brain injuries,” Cashman said.

Well I finally got into the the US Poltical Process proper.

Yes.

I participated in a State Caucus. Some thoughts -

It was great to see a lot of people in my own neighborhood with similar viewpoints as me. The Mrs. and I were beginning to wonder if we were the only ones.

There were a few loudmouths and control freaks there - by coincidence they happened to be supporting my supported candidate's opponent. Thankfully, their own need to dominate did them in.

Is celebrating woman all about showing them in their undies?

Evidently Spotify thinks so-
