Interesting. A guy named Ralph Lopez wonders where the bloodhounds were. Seems like a good question to me, but Tuez says there were? I go to check out the links.

Yeah, really missed the lake. Went looking for the old alternate site, windcatpond, but nothing there. I duckduckgoed firedoglake.com and one of the hits was the fdl twitter which told me that it was a server problem.

And Mary, lol!

Thanks to all.

I’ve put in a request for the book at the Toronto Library system.
Hasn’t arrived yet, but I’ll be the first to get it.

Thanks to Gar Alperovitz for the incredible work and dedication.

I am curious about legal roadblocks to worker managed companies.

There appear to be elements of the Pacific ‘Free Trade’ agreement (being secretly negotiated on the ‘fast track’) that would restrict cooperative endeavors.

e.g. the above mentioned post office banks and state public banks.

A grad student would be flunked out for this shoddy workproduct. Isn’t tenure wonderful?

Intelligence and facts being fixed around the policy — have I heard this song before?

I expect that someone, somewhere has also said, “F–k the 99%, we’re takin’ ‘em out!”

Thanks to all for a very interesting book salon.

The Toronto Library system does not have this book yet, so I will put in a request and suggest multiple copies. They ask for reviews, do you have a favorite?

But the Bank of North Dakota must have been much more `conservative` in their investments and did not suffer the problems hitting commercial banks.
Surely it is a question of management and oversight.

Public banks, like the Bank of North Dakota, would seem to be a good alternative to commercial banking.

Do you discuss this, and similar plans being considered by some states.?

Do you consider the `Chicago Plan` in the book?

QE4 amounts to as much as 85 billion a month. To what effect?

The Sequester cut 85 Billion for the year starting 2013.
The effects of the sequester are far from trivial.

I am disturbed that the banks get so much at the same time that the people lose.

Where is the justification for this?

I`m also piqued at the fancy lingo (Sequester, quantitative easing, etc.)
The people get cuts, the banks get money.

I grew up swimming in lakes and didn’t enjoy swimming in pools at all until I got some swim goggles which I wore over my contacts. Worked not too bad, kept the chlorine out of my eyes and I didn’t swim into stuff (the sides of the pool, other swimmers, etc.)anymore. Now I have prescription [...]

Worker owned cooperatives are an alternative many are involved in now, especially in places like Cleveland.
Do such organizations figure into your history?

(I’ve got your book on hold at the Toronto Library but I haven’t got it yet.)

Great idea, Barbara. I think that the posts normally just scroll down in order, but I wonder if it would be possible to list special posts that we’d like to go back to in the BlogRoll, such as this and SD’s ‘wake’. Maybe like an FDL Rainbow Bridge wall. There are getting to be a [...]

Thanks all.

I just listened in on this one. I have the book from the library, but I’ve not read it yet. I will soon.

Is that a photo of the GG award?

It is phenomenally ugly.

I have seen none of the TV shows mentioned, but I am curious why Game of Thrones is not there.

Getting a bit off topic, but there is more to the Brandi Chastain story.

The sports bra was lent to the bankrupted Sports Museum of America and had to be ransomed back out of impound.

Brandi Chastain gets her famous sports bra back

Life is stranger than fiction.
