Frightening pronouncements from the extreme right

These aren't crazed wackos on the street; these are opinion leaders, people of influence. Scary stuff.

Robert Reich: A Prescient Speech From 1994

Click here for an article on Substack by Robert Reich titled "After Kamala Harris wins ... the real work begins."

At the end of the article, click on the link for Reich's 1994 speech, titled "A Warning from 1994 of a Two-Tiered Society" -- it's well worth the nine minutes. There are 6,283 comments -- from today, 30 years later -- that are well worth exploring.

The WSJ loves the WNBA -- well, Wilson and Reese, anyway

Click here for an article at MSN.com (which escapes the WSJ paywall) entitled "Inside the WNBA's Big, Bold, Record-Breaking Year," by Rachel Bachman.

You could be forgiven for thinking that Angel Reese's star power had finally brought the W the recognition it deserved for great players like A'ja (although there is mention of another player who apparently drew a few fans and viewers too, named Caitlin Clark). Yes, Reese and Wilson have certainly brought about a seismic shift in the WNBA -- I guess.

Corporate Disregard for Worker Safety

Click here for an article at Substack by Robert Reich entitled "What to do about corporations that maim and kill their workers: A personal story."

Reich tells the story of how he tried to marshal public opinion to force a Goodrich plant in Oklahoma City that was defying OSHA orders to implement safety measures; Goodrich responded by announcing it would shut down the plant, putting 1,100 workers out of a job. Reich and the OSHA head had to back down; "the bullies won."

That was in 1994, when Reich was Secretary of Labor; the same stuff is going on today.

Socialism is an evil thing ...

Trump Talks Policy! (No, not really.)

The question is: What actions will you take to ensure that our jobs stay in America so we can continue to build the best cars in the world here in Michigan? This TikTok clip is fine as far as it goes, but it should have shown more. Perhaps Trump went on to give an answer to the question? Well, um, no. He babbled on for two or three minutes about how they have to stop foreign companies from taking American jobs -- without giving any suggestions about what he would do to accomplish this -- and then winds up with (paraphrasing): "You know what you have to do? You ony have to do one thing: Vote for Trump!" And the crowd goes wild, and the moderator moves on to the next question.
