Homeless camp raid, LA beach, CA
Thugs
in LA raided an encampment of homeless people on a beach, and
stole
all their property except what they could carry.
Stealing from homeless people is a standard part these raids. Even if that property is just a tent
and some clothing, a homeless person has no way to carry all that on a moment's notice, and no ready
place to take it to.
To steal from people who have so little is especially cruel, and it gives the lie to the claim that
this is simply a way of making them move. It is, rather, systematic harassment with a legal excuse.

Privatized public-utility failings, UK
A privatized UK water company didn't put away enough to cover its pension obligations, and has lost
the suit to
dump those costs on the public.
Britain's privatized water companies have skimped on employees' pensions as well as on maintenance
of facilities. That should no be a surprise; that is what one should expect of privatized public
services. With any luck, this will drive the companies bankrupt, which would make it possible to
nationalize them without paying any "compensation", and thus put an end to the whole foolish Tory
story of privatizing them.
