Working Assets -- Hypocrisy at its finest

Working Assets is currently partnering with Bank of America to provide credit card services.

Bank of America is heavily invested in coal and funding the destruction of the Appalachian Mountains through mountaintop removal coal mining and the acceleration of the climate crisis.

Bank of America has been the recent target of Rainforest Action Network and Rising Tide direct actions.

Companies such as Massey Energy, Peabody Coal, and Arch Coal just don't seem all that Gristy to me, no matter how green the cash may look.

Working Asset just sent out an email today on their "crucial issues needing action immediately" email list asking for people to sign a petition directed towards Apple because they were all indignant because their cell service doesn't run on iPhone.

Somehow, with all the really critical issues needing urgent attention, whether or not Apple wants to work with a single provider for their latest piece of toxic yuppie junk, doesn't seem all that important.

I really enjoy Grist but come on, please don't prostitute yourselves for this 'for profit' company.
