Blodget: Big banks are ‘kids playing with dynamite’
JP Morgan CEO Jaime Dimon would have us all believe that his banks' $2 billion trading loss was "just a stupid mistake." But Henry Blodget (@hblodget), CEO and Editor-in Chief of Business Insider, agrees that this is just the latest indication that the shadow banking system has not gone through enough reform.

Putting America’s College Grads to Work: AmeriCorps and Our Time
3.4 million college students will become college graduates this month -- and we all know the type of economy they're going to enter. Matthew Segal of OurTime is pushing public service -- volunteering -- as part of the solution to this problem.
Dylan Ratigan Mad as Hell His Epic Network Moment We've got a real problem...this is a mathematical fact. Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America.
Im Mad As Hell How About You Yesterday, on TV, I exploded. I spent two minutes giving a primal yell at our political system, demanding the extraction of our money and dignity end. It was my most heartfelt and emotional moment on television, ever.

Rather than the Fracking for Natural Gas, we should use the Nitrogen method – see my patents – which pulls all the fuels from oil shale. Why leave 80% of the fuel in the ground. It is that portion that is contaminating the water sources. Yes, CryoRain Inc.'s Hydrocarbon Harvesting brings out the Natural Gas along with the ethers, gasoline, kerosene (jet fuel and diesel) and heating oil. That solves the fuel problem from home heat to the highway as well as the Natural Gas to power electric generators.
Fracking story is important. I wonder how much oil/gas is spilled on the earth every day? I’ll go with fracking for cleaner option.
Fracking's safety and effectiveness is all about the quality of the operator and the exercise of power by the state. Interview the Shell Oil experts who are confident fracking can be safe and effective. Interview the Sierra Club of Texas to find out how the state's environmental "protection" agency is unlikely to impose on all operators the higher standards of fracking that dependable companies like Shell Oil espouses. Interview the Governor of Texas and ask him why he protects Wyoming and Montana coal interests to supply dirty Texas coal fired electric plants instead of creating clean air and low cost energy and most importantly lasting jobs, jobs, jobs, for Texas, by turning to a domestic natural gas energy policy. These are the issues you should be addressing. Domestic natural gas production can be safe. Until the cost and efficiency and technological gap of solar, wind, and clean low cost alternaives are achieved, it is our nation's only realistic hope in the near future for jobs, clean air, energy independence, and the national security all of that brings to us.
thank you Dylan for following up on this. There is another question that arises I live in eastern Oklahoma County during the last year and a half we have had more than 350 earthquakes in Oklahoma. Up until that point we had not had 100 earthquakes in the entire history of Oklahoma. Currently, the geological Society is attempting to address this problem. They currently do not feel that is related to fracturing. But that is a possibility. However, they state that it needs to be studied further that they have not found the culprit. My question is should we get the answer before we do any damage? Thank you for being one of the few voices of common sense today. Please keep up the good work.
WoW 550 gal of water a day or they run out plus drinking water and currently only 3 people live in the home. Another home had 5 people plus equines,bovine,and other animals and only used between 225 and 250 gal of water plus drinking water. They never even came close to running out of water. If these people actually had to pay for the water how much would they use 550 gals or less? Most people are taught not to waste water I guess some aren't. For all the signs in the yard never has a for sale sign been seen. How can you claim you can't sell your home if you never put it up for sale? How can you attempt to sell it w/ all the signs in the yard? How can you refuse a free treatment system? If the water is so bad how can you say that no one can attempt to try and fix the water? If the company is providing you with 550 gals. of water daily for well over two years now how can you say they can't try to fix it? If it's so bad would you rather it come up in someone elses well instead of fixing it? Let the water be fixed take your $250,000 settlement you were offered and move. If it's so bad here then why stay?
Dear Dylan! Fire water is essential to man and another 300-500 years to work this industry, and none where the person does not go away. After creating, receiving energy on the theory of Nikola Tesla, the world will get an alternative to gas and oil. However, some will still be produced for science. Yours!
