The Fed’s Inflation Mistake Continues

The Federal Reserve has been hellbent on raising interest rates to slow the economy. It’s a huge mistake.

You know who bears most of the pain of these rate hikes?

Most of the pain is borne by people who are already struggling to keep up with rising prices: lower-wage workers and the poor.

While the Fed has signaled that its interest rate increases might not be as drastic moving forward, the important thing to remember is that these hikes already fail to address a major driver of inflation — powerful corporations that are ratcheting up prices to pad their profit margins.

Does Elon Musk Have a Right to Destroy Twitter?

You break it, you own it. That’s what I was told as a child. But for today’s billionaires, it seems like the opposite is true.

How the Corporate Takeover of American Politics Began

The corporate takeover of American politics started with a man and a memo you’ve probably never heard of.

In 1971, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce asked Lewis Powell, a corporate attorney who would go on to become a Supreme Court justice, to draft a memo on the state of the country.

This is our re-imagined experimental rock cover of the song "I hate a man like you" by Leon Redbone

This version of the song is based on a recording by Leon Redbone from the album "Champagne Charlie" from 1978.

It's actually a cover of a cover song

I've always loved this song by Leon Redbone. It's a dark piece on the album with just a guitar and him singing in his unique voice. It's been one of my favorite songs for years.

But it's actually a cover of a song he did that was originally written and performed by Jelly Roll Morton on the piano in 1930.

After returning from playing at the Ubuntu Summit in Prague we wanted to do a livestream performance of our set from the show.

Watch the replay that we did from our studio.

Columbia University's renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs talks about the lessons he has learned from consulting with governments around the world, about how global problems, such as the war in Ukraine, will only be solved via efforts to understand the other side, never through force.

Frank McCourt discusses his work to reinspire hope in the American experiment, and to build the framework necessary for that better tomorrow.
