$$$? LockThemUp

Drop in the bucket

There is something very wrong when a company can pay out 18bn for wrong doing and still be in business....

That's barely half of what it has cost the 50 states in the last few years.

Who's going to jail? Just the poor people again?

The guy in the picture looks like Valery Legasov from Chernobyl.

$18 billion doesn't even come close

They have billions to settle law suits, but object to lowering drug prices. What kind of country do we live in?

“Costs” = lives lost & families devastated. But let’s put a bunch of millionaires in a room so they can figure out how to pay for their crimes. Then everyone can pat themselves on the back and say how good they did.

NPR Choice pageThey attacked her like they attacked Biden in the first debate. They were kind of douchey. Reminded me of a bunch of chihuahuas trying to take down a Great Dane. Women are never unrealistic or expensive Warren is far from surging. She would be easy Pickens for Republicans. Gaping holes in most of her positions. Mayor Pete would make a much more formidable candidate. You can see the liberal press trying to get behind her, that’s where their values are, way way left...out there..

NPR Choice pageThat's too funny. 'Climate change causes the oceans to rise' LOL One of the many reasons we fight for climate change. The Pacific Ocean is the biggest heat sink in the world. We can't have this destroyed by shrinking icebergs, land mass, and killing off our sea life.
