  • Jon Stewart digs into the trial of comically corrupt Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, and in a new segment called "How Dumb Is You?" asks the senator how he got caught engaging in such obvious illegal corruption, while government officials like Nancy Pelosi, Richard Burr, and Roy Blunt have been getting away with legal corruption for years. #DailyShow #JonStewart #corruption

      The better we can define it and identify it, the better we can hold politicians accountable. And, to raise self-awareness too, to make just a bit louder in peoples' heads the voice telling them they should be uneasy on that luxury skiing trip. People will still try to be corrupt of course, a la Sen Menendez, but we need to stop what we can and when we can.

Its fed on GMO corn - not allowed. its injected with growth hormone - not allowed. Injected with antibiotics - not allowed. The preservatives and colourants you use are not allowed here. The added sugar they contain, not allowed here.

      @@Quittin OK you kinda hit my specialist subject here - my sister was an agricultural advisor to the EU, she wrote the pig and poultry legislation.
      The agriculture is NOT subsidised in the EU - YOUR WAGES are subsidised...!!! The cheapest way to pay you less is to subsidise the farmer. €1 to the farmer saves you €8 in the shop which means your employer can pay you €8 less. This worked for decades until the international commodification of foods, where the farmer sells to a merchant who trades the food on the international market. So now we have a system where the farmers bearly make a living even with subsidies, the price of food is high and hedge funds are making all the profit trading commodity futures on the open market.
      Am3ric4 has the same issue - its another of the horrific unintended consequences of neoliberalism. And you think THAT is bad - the US allows the trading of WATER futures, can you imagine how horrific that is going to get in the future...!??!?!?
