- #union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Stockholm riots throw spotlight on Swedish inequality http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22650267 Five nights of rioting in the suburbs of Sweden's capital Stockholm have raised the national debate about immigration, unemployment and social inequality, the BBC's Stephen Evans reports. It's hard to discern a pattern in the violence that has wracked Stockholm for five nights. The cars attacked are not high-end – not the BMWs and Porsches you might expect to see torched by class warriors, but the vans which ordinary people need to go about their business. Schools, a station and a library have been attacked as well as a bank and a police station. In the areas affected, local people said the motive of the yout…

Although marijuana has a well-deserved reputation for increasing appetite via what stoners call “the munchies,” the new research, which was published in the American Journal of Medicine, is not the first to find that the drug has a two-faced relationship to weight. Three prior studies have shown that marijuana users are less likely to be obese, have a lower risk for diabetes and have lower body-mass-index measurements. And these tren…

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today proposed an amendment to make U.S. federal regulators follow the lead of Europeans and investigate oil and fuel price manipulation. Sanders also proposed a 30-day deadline for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to use its emergency powers to curb excessive speculation in crude oil markets. “We must do everything that we can to make sure that oil and gasoline prices are transparent and free from fraud, manipulation, abuse and excessive speculation,” said Sanders, a member of the Senate energy committee. Over the …

WHEN MY eyes caught the words “thoughts are with Oklahoma” on a friend's Facebook status update, my heart skipped a beat. As I hurriedly scanned the first article that I found, I saw the words “devastation” and “Moore,” and my stomach tightened. I dialed my father's house and got that line-disconnected signal. The tears followed. I was pretty sure that the Moore Medical Center, which the article had described as “destroyed,” was where my father works…or, now, worked. Reports were…

- #union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Split Senate panel OKs Obama NLRB nominees http://www.peoplesworld.org/split-senate-panel-oks-obama-nlrb-nominees/ In split votes, the Senate Labor Committee on May 22 approved President Obama's five nominees – three Democrats and two Republicans – for seats on the National Labor Relations Board. While Democratic Board Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce and Republican board nominees Harry Johnson and Phillip Miscimarra sailed through, two others didn't. And the almost party-line votes on Democratic nominees Sharon Block and Richard Griffin, the former Operating Engineers general counsel, presage another partisan war on the Senate floor over the labor board and its future. Union leaders urged the full Senate to act quickly and approve all fi…

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) grilled Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on too-big-to-fail banks—financial institutions that are so large that their failure would endanger the entire financial system. “How big do the biggest banks have to get before we consider breaking them up?” she asked. Too big to fail is far from over. The largest financial institutions are still ballooning in size. In the past few years, banks have been beset by one scandal after another—from money laundering, to rate-fixing, to foreclosure fraud, and have mostly received wrist-sla…

Tom Coburn (R-OK) is encouraging Democrats to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits because the programs are “things we don’t absolutely need.” Speaking to ABC’s George Stephanopolous on Sunday about the so-called fiscal cliff, Coburn said that he would be willing to accept tax hikes for the top 2 percent of earners if Democrats and President Barack Obama agreed to reform Social Security and Medicare. The ABC host pointed out that Obama’s health care reform law had already achieved about $716 billion in Medicare savings and many Republicans — including former Republican pre…
