The bad seeds taking root in California and Iowa (Jonathan Tasini, Working Life)

Remember the election for the Democratic California state party chair? It has stayed sleazy. I circle back with progressive chair candidate Kimberly Ellis to hear the latest—sexism, racism and just plain bully tactics are still the order of the day.   Then, just two weeks after I talked about a big-time corporate fleecing of taxpayers in Wisconsin, it’s happening again—in Iowa. The culprit: Apple. Yup, let’s dig into the seamy side of lovable Apple, which, despite its billions of dollars stashed overseas, is holding up the people of Iowa for corporate ransom.   And, in that vein, Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple gets a second podcast crown of Robber Baron of the week.
