“I believe that bank institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by infaltion, then by deflataion, the bank and the corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
— Thomas Jefferson
I always think of this quote in tandem with Andrew Jackson being so proud of killing “The Bank”. I then laugh because the current “The Bank” put him on the $20 bill. So funny.

Here’s the description from bkslavin, a social media shill for Microsoft.
“The Blackeyed Peas compel the employees at the Microsoft Store in Mission Viejo, California to break out in dance, let their hair down and have some fun. This is an amazing store, the employees seem really excited and engaged, almost happy to be at work. My favorite parts are when people walking in the mall come inside the store, join in the dancing and have some fun. The amazing thing is that people are in the store for hours, they love interacting with the software and learning about new technology.”
What a joke.
A company is replacing 28 unionized workers in New York with cheaper, non-union workers in Florida. If anyone else did this it would be a cue for an editorial in the New York Times denouncing ‘greedy corporate interests,’ but in this case, the company doing it is the New York Times.

The tides have turned against organized labor. Organized labor is just like record labels, television networks, big movie studios, and even newspapers. They’re constructs designed for an industrial society that peaked fifty years ago. The world has changed.
(via mikehudack)(via tedr)
Rafer sez: Industrial society didn’t peak by itself. Manufacturing still goes on in the world, just not here. By clamping down on immigration mid-century, we forced heavy industries to move out of the US. That mistake bites us harder each business cycle.
