Alpha Natural Resources seeks to pay executive bonuses while cutting retiree benefits

There really comes a time when these fucks need to be taken out back and beaten with iron rods.

This is positively loopy. The company pays out $3 million per year in health care benefits to former employees, while just four executives received bonuses of almost twice that.

It's stories like this that make me glad to be self-employed.

They really do think they have a golden cock shoved up their asses.

Hmm... well they aren't responsible for their dad playing footsie with Hitler.

The father of the billionaires Charles G. and David H. Koch helped construct a major oil refinery in Nazi Germany that was personally approved by Adolf Hitler, according to a new history of the Kochs and other wealthy families.

Besides, these two republibertarianeo-conazi cocksuckers have enough to answer for on their own.

Rick Perry finds job with dental insurance company that was a major campaign donor

First reported by POLITICO Florida, the meeting was organized by Southern Strategy Group, a lobbying firm that represents the dental company. The insurer is pushing for a “dental carve-out” in the state’s Medicaid program that would allow it to cover children.

“Yes the Governor met with him,” Jackie Schutz, Scott’s spokeswoman, said in an email. “It was about that topic.”

Government of the bribe, for the bribe and by the bribe!

I just learned from the article that lobbyists are now known as Chief Strategy Officers by the companies that employ them.

Han Solo's quote from Empire is now on a loop in my head, "And I thought they smelled bad...on the outside".

Supreme Court will not dismiss child slave labor lawsuit against Nestle

These shit-eaters must have done something really bad to get the Roberts court to rule against corporate criminals.

A new inequality: "Press 1 for customer service, press 2 to disconnect this call if you are poor"

The cable industry is already infamous for its dismal customer service. However, that didn't stop Thomas Might, the CEO of Cable One, from bragging recently about providing even worse service to selected customers: the poor. Speaking at the J.P. Morgan Global Technology, Media and Telecom Conference last month, Might revealed that his company targets customers by their FICO credit scores. If their scores are low, customer service representatives are instructed to offer only minimal assistance.

This from the crowd which doesn't want the government to regulate their sorry fucking asses.
