Our Friday feature of The Attitude is the “You Gotta Read This!” edition. This week Arnie & Susan read –with permission — two articles you probably didn’t get to this week. First, “Why Wall Street Firms Make Terrible Landlords” from the Nation, an article by Laura Gottesdiener. The New York real estate market has become a private equity playground, and the result has been a disaster for tenants and the market alike. http://www.thenation.com/article/179233/why-wall-street-firms-make-terrible-landlords Next, back to The Nation for “McCutcheon’s Big Winner: Media Corporations… but Not Journalism” by Reed Richardson Since last week’s McCutcheon v. FEC ruling, legal scholars and political pundits have spent untold hours examining the Roberts Court’s latest broadside into the already sinking ship of our nation’s campaign finance laws. But half the story has been missing. http://www.thenation.com/blog/179230/mccutcheons-big-winner-media-corporations%E2%80%A6-not-journalism Thanks to The Nation for permission to read its material.
