POPSBloated, Wasteful, Inefficient Bureaucracies Americans pay an average of 50% more on healthcare than they need to be, and still, nearly 50% of Americans aren't getting necessary health care. This is what the Capitalist Model gives you; accountants and corporate sharks deciding what is covered and what isn't; deciding what gets paid for and what doesn't. With a socialist healthcare model, it's the health providers that decide what the patients need and whether or not it can be done, not bureaucrats with no medical knowledge whatsoever. The American Healthcare System ranks at the bottom of other Western Nations. Don't Americans think they're worth having the best Healthcare System in the world? I think they deserve it. That system is a single-payer option, not middlemen gouging you for ever increasing rates.

POPSJumbo impact of shrimp ACTION! Shift Your Shrimp Consumption ACTION! Shift Your Shrimp Consumption Today, nearly 70 percent of the world's fisheries are fully fished or overfished, and about 60 billion pounds of fish, sharks and seabirds die each year as bycatch -- animals caught accidentally as a result of wasteful fishing techniques. For every 1,000 of us who stop eating shrimp, we can save over 12,000 pounds of sea life per year. To mark this year's World Ocean Day, pledge to shift your shrimp consumption!

POPSChrysler Bankruptcy Hardball: The Shape Of Things To Come That's a political payoff pure and simple. The senior secured creditors (many of which represent retirement funds and savings plans) said no. The Obama administration then deployed the brass knuckles. As one blogger notes, Car Czar Rattner got downright Nixonian about the resistance to The One: Confronting the head of a non-TARP fund holding Chrysler debt and unwilling to release it for any sum less than that to which it was legally entitled without compelling cause, this country's "Car Czar" berated the manager of said fund with an outburst of prose substantially resembling this: Who the f*ck do you think you're dealing with? We'll have the IRS audit your fund. Every one of your employees. Your investors. Then we will have the Securities and Exchange Commission rip through your books looking for anything and everything and nothing we find to destroy you with.

POPS Banana Republic Part II One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under the threat that the full force of the White House Press Corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That's how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence. Beckman: Was that Perella Weinberg? Lauria: That was Perella Weinberg. There is a pattern here. Financial institutions holding billions of Chrysler's secured debt are being held hostage by the TARP loans they are not permitted to pay back. They are being forced to accept just pennies on the dollar for loans they made in good faith less than two years ago. Just like mob loan sharks, the administration wants them under its thumb so they can extort more and more concessions.
