The Contradiction of the Moral Soldier
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Mon, 11/06/2017 - 1:32pmSoldiers have a mixed reputation. This is not a statement meant to be judgemental, but rather an acknowledgement that the profession of soldier has been maligned, praised and judged based not on the profession itself, but the societal use and view of it.
Cost of Endless War: Army Provides Each Soldier a "Battle Buddy" to Prevent Suicides
Submitted by Steven D on Mon, 11/06/2017 - 10:45amI only recently learned about this from my daughter's boyfriend who has been deployed to the Ukraine. He has a "Battle Buddy" not to be a friend but so neither of them will commit suicide. And why is that? Because since 2005 the Army suicide rate has exploded.
Why poor whites are so angry
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 11/05/2017 - 5:53pmYou hear people ask why the white working class went from resentful to bat-shit insane right around the time Obama got into office.
Therefore it must have been racism.
Except that Obama is gone and the white working class is still just as angry.
Therefore it must be...racism?

Chaps my @ss that corporations and billionaires are hiding money offshore to avoid taxes and then pushing for even more tax avoidance in Congress now, when so many needs are going unmet here and so many are suffering.
It's not the lack of hours. It's the lack of pay
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 11/05/2017 - 1:07pmLast December it was revealed that 94% of new jobs created under Obama were part-time, temporary, or contract. This is a big deal.
However, it's not the whole story.
Shifts in the labor force rarely stay confined to their sector.

Submitted by Steven D on Sun, 11/05/2017 - 8:19amWith the brouhaha over Donna Brazile's self-serving revelations that Hillary effectively bought the DNC after entering into an agreement that allowed the Clinton campaign an unprecedented amount of control over the DNC during the primaries, a lot of other facts about the Dem establishment supporting Clinton long before August 2015 is not being mentioned.

The Situation is Revolting...
So Where's the Revolution?
So Where's the Revolution?
I think the revolution been stifled with silence, prevented by propaganda, and choked with debt and economic struggle. The important stories are not presented to “We the People”, or the stories are spun to promote more war and corporate profit. Mix in a capitalist collection of ads designed to make you eat stuff that's bad for you, ask your doctor for more drugs, take out a forward and reverse mortgage, and of course love your favorite fossil fuel company.
Public services like education, healthcare, and I would add a balanced rational press or news media, should not be operated by for-profit corporations because the real mission of helping people is lost in the quest for ever more return for investment.
