We Can Have a Living Earth Economy—But It Won’t Be Easy

“I love mankind ... it's people I can't stand!!”
― Charles M. Schulz

It is very satisfying to point out the inequities in life, to rail against the obnoxious ones among us, yet in doing so we become the obnoxious ones. We become the person cutting into line at the grocery, or cutting off another driver trying to get out of the parking lot, just to secure our 'proper' place in line, but in reality just sowing more inequity behind us. Such counter-productive behavior is almost human nature; I myself can be obnoxious and casually, even unconsciously and inadvertently, spew inequities and insults toward others who will then cut me off as I try to exit the grocery parking lot later on today.

Blackrock and Hillary Clinton

David Dayen reporting at the Intercept on March 2nd, 2016:

BlackRock is far from a household name, but it is the largest asset management firm in the world, controlling $4.6 trillion in investor funds — about a trillion dollars more than the annual federal budget, and five times the assets of Goldman Sachs. And Larry Fink, BlackRock’s CEO, has assembled a veritable shadow government full of former Treasury Department officials at his company.

BBB of TOP goes totally OTP!

In a thread at TOP, BBB said:

It isn't [Sanders's] ideology. Its his overloaded amount of wacko and weirdo shit he's written and done in his life.

Yes, Warren can clear a vetting. There's a few problematic items but nothing nearly as crazy as the shit Sanders has said and done.

The leftist hippy shit is fine for Vermont. Maybe Oregon. But in the rest of the country... No.

To which I responded

Hoo boy!

Illinois law - never a dull moment. Think Peyton Place on steroids.

First, the players:

A. Illinois Supreme Court. The top court in Illinois, elected by the public, retained if they achieve a certain level of supporting votes. Pretty much respected for being fair, smart, and beyond ethical reproach (See Iowa, Kansas, NC, Texas, and the New Jersey Supremes for a comparison)
