Imagine you’ve just landed a job with a big-time retailer. Your task is to load and unload boxes from trucks and containers. It’s back-breaking work. Everardo Carrillo says that's just what happened to him and other low-wage employees who worked at a Southern California warehouse run by a Walmart contractor.

Positive balance. Effondrement du système bancaire : le compte à rebours vient de commencer. A moins de ne plus jamais avoir besoin de crédit ou de découvert ou se faire un capital (retraite etc ;..) et donc de revenir aux vieilles méthodes (« bas de laine ») et donc d’accepter de différer ses achats (maison, voiture etc...) d’accepter aussi que son argent ainsi économisé se dévalue (quoique maintenant, les taux d’intérêts versés aux épargnants ne sont vraiment plus indexés sur le coût réel de la vie) que, même dans une banque éthique, tout placement comporte un risque.
(il suffit pour cela que les emprunteurs ne soient plus en mesure de rembourser) Nous ne sommes pas au bout de nos peines.. car la plupart des banques en plus d’investissements dans des entreprises, de prêts aux particuliers, rachètent de la dette à très haut risque...

Indeed, Moniz’s collaborative work – best captured in the industry-backed research program he oversaw at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology – is well known. So, too, is his support for Obama’s “all of the above” energy strategy – one that embraces, fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewable energy sources.

(Photo: Max Whittaker / The New York Times)We're now in the sixth year of the economic collapse and the home foreclosure crisis persists. It continues to drag down families, destroy wealth, weaken communities and prevent economic recovery. Inadequate government response has led to a long-term economic crisis that could have been avoided. The crisis of foreclosure and lost wealth is not over. This crisis could have been averted through government policy that placed the needs of people, rather than those of the bankers, first.

Protesters gather at Freedom Plaza in preparation for a march to the Justice Department.Hundreds of foreclosed homeowners and housing rights activists rallied outside the Justice Department on Monday, May 20, to demand that Attorney General Eric Holder prosecute the Wall Street bankers responsible for the financial collapse and foreclosure crisis.
The protest lasted overnight and into Tuesday morning. Overall, 27 peaceful protesters were violently arrested - 17 on Monday and ten on Tuesday morning - and at least two of them were Tasered by officers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Video footage taken Tuesday morning shows three police officers subduing and then Tasering Carmen Pittman, an Atlanta homeowner who fought tirelessly to save her grandmother's house from foreclosure in 2011. When asked for their names, those who were arrested identified themselves with the names of Wall Street bankers who, they believe, should be arrested. Some Bailouts Taxpayers Seldom Ever Notice.
