Capitalism Destroys Companies and Workers' Lives

The 133-year-old Simmons mattress company, which employs members of my union, the United Steelworkers, will file for bankruptcy soon. Then it will be auctioned to yet another private equity firm, the seventh such sale in little more than 20 years. Repeatedly, new owners stuck their greedy hands under the mattress and pulled out money. Each time, that hurt the company and the workers. It's time to flip the mattress on that failed economic philosophy.

Has Pakistan lost its honour?

Kerry-Lugar Bill is an insult, Army tells US military

As anger mounts over the degrading language and observations in the Kerry-Lugar Bill on Pakistan's military services and intelligence agencies, the Army conveyed its part of protest to the US when Commander of International Forces in Afghanistan General Stanley McChrystal met Army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani at the GHQ on Tuesday.

Has Pakistan lost its honour?

Predator drone attacks are launched by the United States into Pakistan territory despite protests from its ministers, its army launches attacks on militants they themselves have trained to fight in India and Afghanistan, and President Obama's Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke comes and goes as he pleases to tell its president and prime minister what they should do.

A War of Absurdity

By Robert Scheer

Every once in a while, a statistic just jumps out at you in a way that makes everything else you hear on a subject seem beside the point, if not downright absurd. That was my reaction to the recent statement of the president's national security adviser, former Marine Gen. James Jones, concerning the size of the terrorist threat from Afghanistan.

The bailout in under ten minutes

The Nation
by Chris Hayes

10/06/09

The Nation’s DC editor, Chris Hayes, provides a quick run-down of the bailout, its limited trajectory, and what its limitations mean for the Obama administration. Although Hayes’ explanation is easy to understand, the continued profits that the bailout is providing for Wall Street — and no one else — are more difficult to swallow. Because of the staggering 17.5 trillion dollars being pumped, basically for free, into the banks, they’re making profits — but the bucks stop there. If that’s the only silver lining, Hayes explains, this misdirected spending is a ‘ticking time bomb’ for Obama...
