“According to a Congressional study, $6,000 is the average amount taxpayers are being dinged per employee. Walmart’s wages and benefits are so low, it forces workers to go on Medicaid and receive housing assistance, childcare subsidies, food stamps, and more.”

That doesn’t sound like a low price guarantee…

overhumor:

life falling apart? you’ve come to the right place

This looks extremely convenient for the right set of circumstances. It could also be viewed as a logical progression.

Just smoke weed to get your shit together and avoid all of this nonsense.

How Shell Is Trying to Send a Chill Through Activist Groups Across the Country

How Shell Is Trying to Send a Chill Through Activist Groups Across the Country:

“The case, Shell Offshore Inc. vs. Greenpeace, was filed by Shell Oil Company. Last summer, Shell assumed–based on conjecture — that Greenpeace USA would protest the company’s drilling in the Alaskan Arctic. Shell asked the 9th Circuit court for a preemptive injunction and restraining order against Greenpeace USA.

Despite Greenpeace’s appeal, the court granted the injunction for the entire duration of the drilling period, a decision which effectively gave a federal blessing to the company’s wish to do its controversial work in secret.

Greenpeace has asked the court for a full review, and this summer, the court will decide the ultimate fate of the case.”

Aren’t the people of Great Brittain tired of film/television about 17-19th century monarchy and class systems yet? As an American who is generally a fan of British programming, I’m certainly fucking tired of it. What is with all the fucking period pieces? Move the fuck on, England.

Senators Skip Classified Briefing On NSA Snooping To Catch Flights Home :

“Only 47 of 100 senators attended the 2:30 briefing, leaving dozens of chairs in the secure meeting room empty as Clapper, Alexander and other senior officials told lawmakers about classified programs to monitor millions of telephone calls and broad swaths of Internet activity. The room on the lower level of the Capitol Visitor Center is large enough to fit the entire Senate membership, according to a Senate aide.”
