You may not connect airline safety with globalization, labor arbitrage and offshore outsourcing, but....they are. The more corporations squeeze the more workers are less skilled and the more corners are cut. Why do a good job when the only thing a corporations sees is a $ sign tattooed on your forehead? Even worse how can one do a good job when corporations won't pay for the training and conditions required to do so?

Frontline has done it again with another great documentary. The Card Game, perfect for Black Friday, brings us up to date on lobbyists efforts to stop a Consumer Financial Production Agency and also overviews the credit card companies' role in the financial crisis. Lowell Bergman produced this documentary. He also made The History of the Credit Card.
Now the start of this video shows someone from Microsoft who clearly is not under the age of 30. We know this is false and Microsoft uses thousands of H-1B workers, contractors and other methods to labor arbitrage workers and deny full participation in benefits. So take their corporate health care plug with a grain of salt.

This week's video is Frontline's The Madoff Affair. Be aghast at how people of the super elite wealthy class are just as stupid as regular folk. Be horrified on how rock star status trumps facts, evidence and anything based in reality. Were you aware Bernie Madoff was a NASDAQ chairman at one point?

Did you know that international, corporate and state bribery is valued at over $1 trillion a year?
Frontline's Black Money an in depth investigative documentary on the state of international bribery today.
This is a Lowell Bergman work so as one can imagine, the investigative report quality is truly in depth. Most interesting is the problem if one country stops bribery the idea is other nations will have a competitive advantage to obtain large defense contracts for they will pay the bribes.

Frontline is running a series on the financial crisis and the first installment, Inside the Meltdown is below.
