Great idea, there are many things that one can do to “simplify” their living and finances. I’m sure there are many here that have wonderful ideas that some of us have not thought of, it would be great to share them with each other.

Killgore, did they ever exist after the 50’s? Even if you were white, that utopia was a myth propagated by the Ad men…the perfect house, the perfect wife, two perfect kids, etc….

There is a difference, one group can spell and articulate why they are protesting, and their protest is for a valid issue. The other group cannot spell, unless the word happens to be “Hitler”, nor articulate why they are protesting, other than a general, “I want my Country Back!” 😯

Is anyone else going into overload today? I need to take a break from this stuff, spent all day reading on Wisconsin, Walker, Koch Bros, going from link to link…my mind is reeling. 😕

Now they say Gadfly is shooting his citizens from planes…. 😮

Hey Artist50, don’t know if I have welcomed you yet or not, so many new faces…welcome to the Planet.

The suggested amount is $60 or $5 per month, 100% goes to maintenance of this site and it’s servers.

Hey boom, now we know why Mr. Wexner can pledge that amount..when you pay prisoners to do piece work @$1.95 an hr., it makes anything possible.

It also states:

Meanwhile, two Libyan fighter jets have landed in Malta, where officials say the pilots defected after they were ordered to bomb civilians.

We won’t know what’s really going on there until reporters are allowed in.

You gotta read this, this is just shows the great pains the Conservatives, their PACS and the Republican have gone to truly make this Country an Oligarch.

This is some scary shit, now I understand why they poured so much money into local and state elections, they get more bang for their buck that way and stay under the radar….

This just keeps getting better…now we have businesses using slave labor:

Today thousands of men and women toil behind prison fences for the likes of AT&T, IBM and Victoria’s Secret, making the products we use everyday for these corporations. Inmates are used so profit margins increase while civilian jobs become more and more scarce and the wages for those jobs are reduced. This has become the face of capitalism…

Today as I write this, our unions and virtually all jobs in America are clearly under attack by the Republicants driven by their conservative right wing. This battle is waged against us by Conservative lawmakers from coast to coast, city by city and state by state and funded by the likes of the giant companies we helped to build with our sweat and consumer purchases. The Unions we fought so hard for and won only through more of our sweat and much blood spilled by those fighting for fair wages and benefits, healthcare, vacations, 40 hour work weeks, etc. are now under harsh attack. Without Unions and the efforts put forth by millions of yesterday’s brave workers, we would already be where these despicable corporations and their bought and paid for politicians now wish to take us. We cannot capitulate to their demands and lose everything our forefathers worked so hard to gain for us. This war against fair wages and treatment of workers was fought and won many decades ago, but like the Civil War and the Southern states persistent efforts to keep slavery and oppression alive and well following that war, Conservatives continue to battle to repeal all forms of collective bargaining to keep us in our place.

As our brothers and sisters in Wisconsin and other states stand out in the cold on behalf of all of us, we must understand that though some among us have drank the kool aid in the past, convinced by disinformation that Unions are a bad thing, we must realize that they are the last bastion against what the Republican party and their masters are trying to do to us regarding jobs, fair wages and benefits. If the Conservatives succeed in eliminating them as they plan…who will be left to speak on our behalf when they come for the rest of our jobs?

As all of this demonstrates – rather clearly – slave labor is alive and well in the U.S. and it is funded, supported and operated by Conservatives. Conservative companies want the cheapest labor they can find – prisoner or immigrant as shown in the Koch article – and the laws can be altered by their conservative lawmaker lackeys who willingly sell our labor to them through legislation that is designed to turn back the national clock by a hundred years. As this diary and the links herein show, we are obviously in a nation that now has two distinct classes of citizens – those who have everything and want to keep it out of the hands of those who don’t, and the rest of us who scurry to and fro on behalf of the “haves” making their lives richer and more comfortable while ours become even more meaningless and unimportant to them…

@AlphaBitch – I’m in, read biographies, English Mysteries, History and novels from 1920 – 1950, (like the writing style), I’m sure others here will contribute.

(Bas Bleu & The Strand Bookstore are great sources for what I read)

Never heard of it, must I google it? Or can you give us the skinny on it?

@Alphabitch-I’m game for a “book club”…and yes, I still buy the print version also.

Whoever buys my house better be a reader, my house is filled with custom bookcases…
