So it IS 2008 all over again!

Criminals at Goldman Sachs who sold SHITTY DEALS, JP Morgan who give out FOOD STAMPS to the people they stole from, BoA who ILLEGALLY FORECLOSED on home owners, etc will get big bonuses while whistleblowers will go to jail.

This is not new. When Jan Fleischhauer wrote his opinion in Der Spiegel,  he received a letter from Brussels three days later. Maoist Barroso was not amused to read a critique of his person. Der Spiegel was warned.

So when do all of us down here in the peanut gallery get assigned a cot in one of FEMA's "Family Centers"?  When is the roundup...I mean when do the invites get mailed out?

The way I understand how these things usually go down, we slaves will not fight our oppressors or even the jailers. We will fight each other for the right to the top bunk. It's all right on schedule.

They are, but like many companies, they also manage a bond-rating agency on the side but their scoring methodology is said to be too confusing.  For example, in terms of AMF ratings, AAA is akin to a 300 score.

Anyway, according to published reports, "due to a 'gutter ball' in Greece's latest frame, the AMF is recalculating their score this week."

Interesting...

Parents could opt out if they wanted to.

Bullshit. Merck had perry mandate the vaccinations even though he didn't have authority as governor to do this. Merck knew there was liability risk from bad reactions but as the vaccinations were mandated by the state any fallout would be covered by state liability funding, not merck's coffers. Perry doesn't give a fuck about little girls, he was making a cash deal at their expense.

Was it widely understood that there was an opt out provision? Perry made vaccination a mandate without authority to do so, the opting out part comes from either 1) the knowledge that he wasn't authorized and challenging the bureaucracy, or 2) not sending your kids to public school as they didn't have their vaccinations.
