According to an article in the Huffington Post At Kaplan University, ‘Guerrilla Registration’ Leaves Students Deep In Debt Kaplan ed is among the worst of the worst of internet federal loan and grant sucking diploma mills. Going so far as to falsely pad bills $5000 or so dollars at diploma time — pay up immediately or you will never get your sheepskin; you wasted your time. No gov agency will act.
According to a lovely graph which I wish I could patch in here the Post currently be kept afloat only by purloined cash from Kaplan — earnings before corporate overhead:
2002 — Kaplan ed, $10 mil; Kaplan test prep, $45 mil: WaPo, $100 mil
2005 — Kaplan ed, $55 mil; Kaplan test prep, $100 mil; WaPo, $105 mil
2009 — Kaplan ed, $255 mil; Kaplan test prep, $5 mil; WaPo negative $175 mil
Wonder if billionaire Bezos will reach out to make Kaplan ed victims whole. Will he really continue to use Kaplan’s pirated money to keep WaPo whole? Would he really?
Meanwhile in media news, Cumulus radio network is rumored to be planning to drop Hannity and Limbaugh at the end of March. Clear Channel is losing millions syndicating programs advertisers can’t support.
Navient seemed into padding interest rates (something many might not notice) along with the usual quiver of scams. And they only collect money!
Remember Broken Windows Theory — that tolerating small violations like squeegee men and turnstile jumping discourages the development of a “lawless atmosphere” and in turn more serious crimes. IOW, do not fix a broken window and you may tempt others to break more windows.
I cry all the time that the looting of America is because there are no longer enough union lobbyists to patch up all the missing laws that allow the baddies to slip through the regulatory cracks — not enough personnel to mind all the many stores . If we take into account Broken Windows all this looting may becoming an out of control tail spin.
And what part of the IMF-Ukraine agreement involves GM and Monsanto?
The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) is helping biotech run the latest war in Ukraine. Make no mistake that what is happening in the Ukraine now is deeply tied to the interests of Monsanto, Dow, Bayer, and other big players in the poison food game.
“Monsanto has an office in Ukraine. While this does not shout ‘culpability’ from every corner, it is no different than the US military’s habit to place bases in places that they want to gain political control. The opening of this office coincided with land grabs with loans from the IMF and World Bank to one of the world’s most hated corporations – all in support of their biotech takeover.”
If strikes me that the U.S.–and its toy, the IMF–is doing more than merely provoking Russia. Before the U.S. prompted coup in the Ukraine and the overthrow of a duly elected government, the question was: Who would lend money to cash strapped Ukraine? The coup answered that question–the IMF. The cries of Russian imperialism–as it protected its ONLY warm-water naval port–is too much to be believed. Of course, no one in the West paid attention to Gorbachev’s warning that Russia was rightly protected its interest.
Meanwhile, Obama really hates Putin–I suspect because Putin gave sanctuary to Snowden, outfoxed him on Syria….
The Western media has been little more than an echo chamber for U.S. imperialism and stupidity.

Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post.

Sometimes the free market works!
More Regulatory Trouble for Debt Collectors as Navient Loses Contract

Robert Kuttner is worried about some such in his current article Can Liberal Democracy Survive? in the American Prospect.
Union organizing may not be everything; it may be the only thing!
