Economic Update is coming up on KPFA at 1 EST (10 PST).

They are having a major pledge drive (they temporarily lost CPB funding), so there will be breaks for raising funds.

All exploitation and speculation. No conservation. No addressing reality. All propaganda, all lies. Fake shortages and spikes driving corporations to drill more, waste more, burn more.
Join em! You too can do all you can to assure tomorrows children and wildlife live (shortly) in a hell of your own creation.

Repukes and Third Way Dinos would never mention economic Marxism or socialism. Why not? Both systems have proved over the years that socialism/Marxism are successful systems. Capitalism is an almost total failure. Look at the surveys of successful economies and surveys of the happiest people on earth. Common thread among successful, happy people? Socialism.

Check the surveys. I'm not going to post links.

He even hints that they are not even free trade, which is correct. All our free trade agreements since the 1990s are nothing more than outsourcing and investment agreements for the mega-rich, giant corporations, and Wall Street that are masquerading as "free trade".
