The Shock Doctrine -- Naomi Klein

I was reading this book this weekend and it made me angry and afraid for this country.
I always knew the bush clan and friends were assholes but this book puts them into the evil category.

Reagan was the start

Mike Max thinks do anything to win is good

Lately on WCCO Mike has been talking a lot about Trump, and this is a sports show, and he is saying that Trump learned how to win while playing baseball. He said he learned how to win at any cost. And do we not want a president with those thoughts to be working for us.

I got to thinking about this and thought do we want a president that lies, cheats workers out of their pay, breaks contracts because he has paid enough already and various other deplorable things. This got me thinking even more that Mike might feel it is okay for athletes to take steroids, to do anything to win as long as they win. I wonder what kind of man Mike really is if he thinks it is okay to win at any cost.............

Ran across this poll

http://www.mediaite.com/online/poll-how-would-you-describe-trumps-first-few-days-in-office/



A lot has happened in Donald Trump‘s first few days as President.

He and his team have spent much of the last five days arguing against factual reports that say his inauguration attendance was relatively low. That has included two now-infamous press room appearances by Sean Spicer, one of which was furious and one of which was sad. Kellyanne Conway coined the phrase “alternative facts,” too. Beyond that, Trump lambasted the press during a speech at the CIA to which he brought his own cheering section, which reportedly left relations with the intelligence community in a pretty bad place and reportedly used a meeting with congressional leaders to repeat the false claim that millions of votes were cast illegally in last year’s election. He has signed a number of executive orders and held meetings with a variety of American companies and organizations.

That is a pretty solid stream of news.

We have to ask: How would you describe his first days in office?

Toblerone Alters Shape of 2 Chocolate Bars, and Fans Are Outraged

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/09/world/europe/toblerone-triangle-change-uk.html?_r=0


The maker of Toblerone, the Swiss chocolate bar, has reconfigured the unique appearance of two of its milk-chocolate versions, with narrower triangles and a larger gap between peaks.

The price for the new bars is the same as the old ones, but the changes to the smaller one — which is sold mainly in Britain at the discount retailer Poundland — were so pronounced that Toblerone’s Facebook page was filled with outrage from aggrieved consumers, even though only a relatively small number were likely to be affected.

~snip~


Gemma Pryor, the head of external affairs for Britain at Mondelez International, said the company had to choose between changing the shape of the bar and raising prices — a significant issue in Britain, where the economy is facing uncertainty and the value of the pound has weakened after voters backed leaving the European Union in a June referendum.

~snip~


The triangular milk chocolate bar, sold in a yellow package with red letters, has been around since 1908. The founder, Theodor Tobler, combined his family name with “torrone,” the Italian word for nougat, and patented his recipe of chocolate mixed with milk and honey.
