Disabled People Are the Canaries in the Coal Mine
The disabled community has responded to the adversities they face by organizing for legal rights that protect their autonomy and access to public life. But these rights are increasingly under attack.
Turns out the total bonuses paid to AIG were $454 million last year, or 4 times higher than previously reported. How do we know this? Because Congressman Elija Cummings asked them a direct question. See, nobody asked them this precise question before, so they didn't think anyone really wanted to know.
From Politico:
In other news, AIG lost another $5 billion in the first three months of the year.
I suppose that's better than losing $10 billion. Another round of bonuses for everyone!
