Jill Stein in Colorado - Cheers and Coloradocare Controversy

Submitted by mj55 on Sun, 08/28/2016 - 10:40pm

The text from my friend read: Hey want to go see Jill Stein in FoCO tonite?" I was curious about the Green Presidential candidate, and so we drove down to hear Stein speak on the back patio of Avogadro's Number, a trendy restaurant/bar in college-town Fort Collins, Colorado.

Artistic inspiration about Trump

A close friend just came up with this letter and video;

An Open Letter to the Leadership of the GOP

I know a lot of you are looking for a way through this nightmare called Trump. How can you stem the tide, while the forgotten and under-appreciated moderates of your party flee for whatever cover they can find?

About to Collapse Anyway--the not so affordable care act is disintegrating faster than the middle class

So here comes Mr. Hope-and-Change riding out of Illinois to save the health of our nation. A tenacious champion for the rights of the common man, this brave knight of Game-a-lot, lance in arm, was ready to slay the dragons of uninsured America. Behold, prior to his first battle with the League of Red Knights, he threw down his lance, but continued advancing toward them. But, wait, he then started to dance, a most unknightly thing to do.

Anti-Capitalist Meetup: bank shots, chips, and dips. Left banking - being adroit or too gauche

IIRC one of the more stable and autonomous entities during the awfulness of the Chinese Cultural Revolution was the relative stability of the banking sector and the military, specifically there were reports about how the science/technology sector was exempt from the chaos in the streets.

While this has been the case as well for many industrial nations throughout their histories, the relative stability of banking institutions and their analysis in times not associated with capitalist panics  bears reflection given the redirection of neoliberal economies and in anticipation of major capital projects.

After the expected defeat of at least one nationalist political party soon, the future question emerges on how neoliberalism can be defeated and socialized structures given greater sway / suasion, given “new angles” as Stigliz has opined. Are financial institutions a social institution that must better reflect human needs rather than the parasitism of their relative autonomy.

The Anti-Democratic Equation

I have no idea how many of you are Comic Book Graphic Novel Nerds like I am (the very term "Graphic Novel" leads me to suspect it was invented by a Geek, not that there's anything wrong with that) so indulge me in a brief examination of the Kirbyverse.

Without investing in too many details the big bad is a guy named Darkseid, who uses his nigh unlimited power (Superman is no match without allies) to search for the "Anti-Life Equation"- a formula that renders sentient beings, possessed of self identity and free will, into mindless slaves.

Ok, now you have the metaphor.
