An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
Next time I plan to go up to some innocent stranger, break his nose, jump on him and then start pummeling him in the face, I'm first making sure I'm in a gun-free zone.
It’s ironic that a trial as important as Bradley Manning's is held in secret with absolutely no televised coverage while the Zimmerman trial was on every station 24/7 for 2 or 3 weeks.
In the time since George Zimmerman shot and killed Treyon Martin, more than 700 African American teenagers have been killed on the streets of Chicago, but they do not receive attention from the media, the White House or the DOJ.
Why is that? Because the deaths of over 700 African American teenagers in Chicago are not nearly as racially polarizing as the death of Trayon Martin at the hands of George Zimmerman, which is an event that the media can exploit to generate millions of dollars in ad revenue
This is how African Americans, Hispanics and whites are distracted from 7.6% unemployment, ( Over 39% unemployment and rising for African American youth), and how we get tricked into fighting each other based on skin color paradoxically for the purpose of ending the very same racism.

I wonder how moveon feels about going to DC or Chicago. They both have very strict gun laws so it must be much safer in those two places.

Martin attacked Zimmerman for the exact same reason Zimmerman began following Martin in the first place; fear.

It would be ironic if journalistic integrity took priority over ratings.
