  General Growth

  Tim Friedman's wife is a major share holder in General Growth Properties. Her future wealth is predicated on more and more consumption.

  I say future because her stock has tanked it is worth pennies on the dollar. She was last fall a multi billionaire. Now her stock is worth less than a hundred million if the company survives.On A one-time cheerleader for hyper-consumerism lays down his pom-pom posted 8 months, 2 weeks ago 16 Responses

  End the Reagan/Bush myth's

  Things like this happen because of the Reagan/Bush myth that markets will take care of themselves. PCA even after it killed several people continued to send it's deadly products to people. Corporations will do as little as possible to ensure food safety. If some people die they do not care.

  There is no reason the companies can not pay the government to perform inspections. I know they will scream bloody murder about taxes. Another Reagan/Bush myth. Taxes are how we fund things like fire departments, roads,and all manner of things.On Who put the food companies in charge of food safety? We did. posted 8 months, 2 weeks ago 6 Responses
