It’s worth remembering that @Politico is owned by an exceedingly wealthy son of a millionaire banker and media mogul and the publication thrives in an environment of hidden advertising, influence peddling and corporatism. We know what side they are on. Before he started Politico, Robert Allbritton and his father Joe ran a bank that eventually was sold amidst charges of laundering money for Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. They settled the Spanish case in 2005 for $9,000,000.

I’ve seen people discussing jobs for Labor Day and it made me think of my first job out of High School. It was an eye-opener, doing data entry for medical manufacturer Schering-Plough in Kenilworth, NJ. I was making $7.25 an hour, which was above minimum wage back then. It was a giant warehouse operation packing gift-boxes for doctors with trials of drugs and all sorts of trinkets - golf balls and crystal mugs and travel metal detectors and whatever would make the doctor remember the product because performance is meaningless.
