Stories That Matter More Than Bruce Jenner Wanting to be a Woman.

Apparently Bruce Jenner wants to get a sex change. At least that is the story all over the media and now he has been involved in a car accident. You cannot read or watch the news and not know about his story; but, it is a meaningless story and will only directly effect under 100 people, yet it is the top of the news. The stories below will or do effect you already and I will bet you haven't read them.

Rolling Stone - Matt Taibbi - While Deflategate and Chaitgate Rage, America Quietly Robs Its Elderly. A nice article on how personal retirement accounts are cheated by Wall Street.

New Republic - Wall Street Pays Bankers to Work in Government and It Doesn't Want Anyone to Know. Did you know that Wall Street Bankers can get a bonus (some in the tens of millions) for taking government jobs after leaving their banks? Hmmmm, I can't even work for a company that does business with certain governmental agencies for at least a year. Maybe we should have the same rule for people who left companies that did business with the government.

Yahoo - Truck driving may be America's most popular job. Did you know that truck drivers (including delivery drivers) make up the majority of full time workers in 29 states? The article points out how there is a need for drivers; but, leaves out the fact that these vehicles are all going to be automated.

That is all for tonight, hope you read the linked articles.
