Use of prison labor although the billionaire says he wasnt aware it was happening his team hired a firm to help with his 2020 Election Campaign which in turn employed female inmates to make campaign calls. About this when the reporter called us lets assume as we discovered we. Had done this we immediately ended our relationship with the company and the people who hired them imagine being so reach you have people who have people who have prisoners to do stuff for you. Being so rich you dont even bother to check what you are spending millions of dollars on. Rita rating we sat in did when we learn a vendor of a vendor of a vendor use prison labor we did know about it and we never would have allowed it we dont believe in this practice and we immediately stop working with pro com and the people who hired them so so how do you do it pay someone to pay someone to tell them Mike Bloomberg is a big spender he was last to do in the president ial race and he has already outspent all the other democrat candidates on Campaign Advertising i mean the guy has so much money he doesnt seem to have the time to check what he spent a good dog but theres credit Michael Bloomberg did promise america more work just to. Get it. For president jobs creator. Right america more jobs even if you dont particularly want them what makes it much much worse is that many of the prisons in the states a private run for profit and there are laws that force people to work so if you are in a jail and you are told to work you have to well youll be punished sometimes they pay you as much as 20. 00 a month thats right 20. 00 a month now heres the irony Mike Bloomberg billionaire one of the richest people in america was essentially paying for what is a slave labor to cool people apparently tell them that hes a good guy wait the bloomberg is he was paying someone to pay someone to tell everyone what a good guy he is trump says he wants to run the nation like hes running is business god help us. Everybody says stuff that comes back to bite them but when billionaires do it its generally an order of magnitude. It gets. Worse the further you dig when he launched his campaign his media Bloomberg News sent out a letter thousands of its journalists pledging to uphold its principle of not investigating its own or this is the sort of person mike is Mike Bloomberg started as a middle class kid to work his way through college and built a business from a single room to a global entity creating tens of thousands of good paying jobs along the way. There he couldve he probably shouldve but he didnt let me continue he became richer year after year he made really a selling bank is ludicrous the price tried to gadgets this seemed bankers who through unbridled greed set off the 2008 financial crash prodding tens of millions of people of whom as of life savings and job. Michael bloomberg the president. Investigative journalist to Dave Lindorff for believes that the prison labor scandal is hugely damaging for bloomberg campaign. I really shouldnt be acceptable for anybody liberal or conservative to use prison labor its forced labor bloomberg is a multibillionaire hes worth like 54000000000. 00 hes made his money by you know not paying attention to things like that. That hes not concerned about the little guy and which i guess becomes you know if youre if youre supposedly a democrat youre concerned about the little guy and its enormous a packer see it a big problem because i think its going to hurt him a lot i dont know where people get the idea that bloomberg is the great savior for democrats in the race in the race to get struck he has almost no poll support all the money. Billionaires have not traditionally done that well running for office its its you know you got to have money to run for president but when you have that much money i think that most people are pretty suspicious of your motives in running for office. Subsaharan africa has long been suffering from an acute shortage of painkillers but a facility in rwanda is now making cheap drugs available to the region. I did. And she was not even able to take. The puzzle. Human rights for people in. The country in the. Human rights. Crisis that has featured far fewer headlines. International attention. Of the painkiller tramadol particular. Control is a substance of growing concern particularly in North Central and west africa regions of africa now account for 87 percent of pharmacies cry poor sees.

Stock Market Performance has taken precedence over everything else. A nationwide strike in france over Pension Reforms is now heading into its 4th week and a dance troupe in paris is stepping out of the theatre and onto the streets to make their feelings hurt. To the full last of us all to what the girls have shown you with swan lake is 15 years of sacrifice and its daily work every day every morning and there is a limit to how long its possible to remain at that level of life if you want to continue to see pretty dancers on stage they cant go on until theyre 64 its not possible and perhaps the most beautiful protest that paris seen at this step but they dont see is what actually striking behind them they had fattest brad cult shot in a jail and now the latest a sequel. By the french government to this strike its now time to escape the hit show support for some i know i dont think the british despite our pension systems think doesnt sustainable this is the only way he was basically yeah hes coming out stiff now forms that it will run towards until it reaches the next if nothing gets done while the focus may be off france right now time of crisis is a problem some like to slow to find is the baby boom but chip bracing for continues to be tight pension systems across the world are straining at the white house as a result of the countrys see the being slowly racing to the toilet or warming up soaring the tension that exists and the problem is that the demographics have changed in 1986 when the system was invented you had people painful no one pension and today youve got 1. 7 people playing for ones attention this. Of course that is completely unsustainable so it needs to be recalled and i basically i think youve got all these demonstrations of people saying yes but not yet you know not now i dont want to be the 1st one to to have a worse situation so its clear that the world might not get this there will be more money to retire on well not so fast according to process impending pension advice it is to see a lot the situation is that perhaps is doing is the clintons government this means jesting i dont find that show that the overall cost of the front page system has in fact stabilized even reduced and that huge deficit governments this warning about could just be a blip shrinking down to 5000000000 you rates by 2030 so this is a ms reprint a tip for the book called the government one of its 1st measures rule was to suppress a tax on words and reckless its called by the french the president of the rich but if you tax bill you know so you must not forget to add an Exchange Controls in order to cover for toxic evasion because there is a lot of leniency with suspects evasion in this country but a very very few people trudge people who want this new feudal american style dystopia that is the very program of president franklin but dont want them absolutely new days of strike action have already been announced that france has this standoff between unions and the gov it is in ewing in the meantime artists and performers are determined to see the beat to scare away.

Graeme sawyer from the Australian Association for Environmental Education believes the government is putting industry 1st weve always had cause but weve never had flaws look and. Pot of the issue is really bad environmental policy over a long period of time which has allowed the country to get out of at a shipe i think the big race and why they defending the call industry is because the coal industry. Many many years as border very close to government spent a lot of money supporting d governments got a little lobbyist and stuff working with governments on these issues the real issue i think is that they get a significant amount of revenue from the call industry jobs in the call industry not that significant when you look at the industries across the whole economy it seems to be an excuse to me i mean theyre not showing any great signs of caring about the environment i think theres a lot of people in this country who when given to the white house the flaws and the really big issues going to be how bad it is but in a much.
