When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Private sector efficiency at its best.
Thames Water paid lawyers/advisers £136m to secure £3bn emergency funding at 9.75% interest.
It has a debt pile of over £20bn, debt at privatisation was ZERO. More debt inevitable.
28% - 35% of customer bills pays interest. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged, people fleeced.

The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.
