In a follow up to our story a few days ago, Newly unsealed documents from Google and Apple further prove their complicity in a secret illegal agreement to limit employees' careers and wages. Some background on this cartel is available in another article covering the US Department of Justice investigation into this matter earlier this week. When these companies were caught red-handed, blatantly breaking the law, the US government intervened on workers' behalf by asking the companies to, in effect, "please stop doing this," but the proposed settlement will only "be in effect" for the next five years.

Go justice!

  Obama? I said I'm a liberal. Why would I vote for a right-of-center party like the Democrats?

  Because in America, "Democrat" == "liberal", like it or not.

  Your views basically place you into the "leftist" category. Remember, these political terms have different meanings from place to place. In America, "liberal" means "agrees with the Democrat Party platform".

    What juvenile bullshit.

    Liberals plug their noses and vote Democrat because the alternative is so much worse... organized insanity and theocracy (as long as it benefits the 1%)

      Voting Democrat benefits the 1% too. The policies of the two parties are mostly identical if you ignore the wedge issues.
