[Rhiannon12866]

John Oliver explains how prisoners make and spend money, and how companies can profit at the expense of their families.

1. Do you think he has a beef with AT&T?

Did not see that bit coming...

Over here. Thanks Rhiannon!

6. You're more than welcome, my friend!

I know that a lot of DUers don't get HBO, so I make a point of posting John Oliver and Bill Maher.

7. I know I sound like a broken record

but I really appreciate the clips. Saves me from searching and locating them.
Hours saved annually.

8. Well, I know that a lot of people don't stay up as late as I do

And some don't have cable or even TV, so I started posting the political comedians. The humor helps me feel slightly better, so I try to pay it forward.

4. I hope an upcoming debate covers private prisons,

and other related profiteering. There should not be a profit motive in imprisoning people. It's at least as bad as the profit motive of a health insurance company, as Warren talks about, with insurance companies having as a goal how to figure out ways to NOT pay for things.

5. Mr. Oliver

Does it again! The man is almost unique in his ability to inform with humor. Going to miss him mightily.
