UK: Homelessness reaches five year high

''Behind these numbers are thousands of families up and down the country who have lost the battle to stay in their homes. In these tough times more and more people are struggling to pay their housing costs, but changes to housing benefit mean the safety net that prevents families from losing their homes if they become ill or lose their job is no longer sufficient to catch them.''

Mankind: Death by Corporation

Dr. Brian Moench, Truthout: Modern corporations have taken over as the governing interest in the US.

Getting Past Stars and Swipes Forever

Sam Pizzigati, Too Much: Back in 1776, public-spirited patriots emerged from the ranks of colonial America s privileged. But our corporate elite today seems to offer up only thieving, tax-dodging parasites. Why such a contrast?
