Relevant and even prescient commentary on news, politics and the economy.

“We can have a democratic society or we can have the concentration of great wealth in the hands of a few. We cannot have both.”

Louis Brandeis says it all. Or did he? by Steve Roth Originally posted at Wealth Economics I do so love diligent lifelong scholars (“experts,” in today’s deprecatory usage) sharing with us their excruciatingly detailed research into areas in which I have a deeply curious interest, but where I lack the wherewithal or energy to properly […]

July 16, 2024 Commentary

There is much going on in the United States with a rogue president who clearly is abusing his role as the president to instill greater control over the nation beyond the courts and the legislature as determined in the constitution. Sometime in the not-so-distant future and if Tr__p does not stop the nation will come […]

The War on Women

Excellent commentary by Joyce Vance. As a subscriber, I am happy I can present this piece on Angry Bear. We do not have many women commenting at Angry Bear. Please if there was never a opportunity for you to comment, maybe you can now. “The War on Women,” Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance When we […]

Various Reads Out of My In-Box

Each day, I am inundated with articles coming from various locations. Some are informative, some are informative and others not so. These make for a good Sunday review if you have some time to do so. They cover a broad span of topics. At each site you may find other articles which may be of […]

Show Cancellation Three Days after Colbert Calls Out CBS

An Interesting Coincidence . . . Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tweeted about the questionable timing. Elizabeth Warren Demands Paramount Explain Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ Cancellation “CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if […]

Problems in our Environment

Some potential and real health issues which go unchallenged for now or are largely ignored. I read these articles and thought they may be interesting enough to be read at Angry Bear also. These are partials of longer commentaries. No so long as to give up on them halfway through them. Air and water pollution […]

Replace Migrant Farm Workers with “High Schoolers?”

Pulled up the rest of the story on young US citizens doing the same work as migrant labor. The thought being they were young enough to do it. Teenage boys heeding the call of a federal government looking for teens to work on farms. That was 1965. I can tell you laboring for a bunch […]

How a Government Shutdown Could Enhance Tr__p’s Power Come October 1st

Conspiracy mongering? I do not believe so when one considers the type of person both Republican and Democrat legislators and citizens are dealing with today. By himself Tr__p could not achieve what “he” wants due to Congress. However, Republicans are the vehicle Tr__p is using to gain what he wants. We have already seen how […]

Cash, Debit Card, or Credit Card

“Jugging or bank jugging” refers to a type of crime where individuals are targeted after making cash with-drawals from banks or other financial institutions. The criminals, known as “juggers,” follow victims to a second location and then rob them, often using force or threats.  I always tell family, be aware of what is around you when […]

“Robin-Hood-in-reverse” policies

A partial of a much longer piece by Bruce Lesley. Health and food policies for low-income people and families will suffer under Tr__p’s take from the poor and give to the rich, the richest 10% of the nation in income. There is always day-old cake or bread to be had if they shop the corporate […]
