Economics 101: Consumer Price Index - Newsweek
sujal 11/24/2008

Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.

Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.

    I am john hardwicke, the plaintiff in a lawsuit against the American Boychoir School where I and uncounted numbers of children were sexually abused by choir directors and staff members.

    You can read more about the American Boychoir and how it institutionalized sexual abuse over several decades at http://www.AmericanBoyschoir.com

    I want to thank Professor Lessig for his assistance as my attorney in this case. He is a fine and courageous individual.

    Please help us to clarify New Jersey’s Charitable Immunity Act which has been interpreted by the state’s courts to shield non profit organizations from all claims of negligence.

    E-mail Assemblyman Albio Sires who has refused to post Assembly Bill 2512. Urge him to post and pass A2512 to do away with Charitable Immunity in cases of child sexual abuse. Ask Mr. Sires to protect New Jersey’s children and help victims of sexual abuse find healing and closure.

    E-mail the assemblyman at asmsires@njleg.org

    Please feel free to re-post this message to as many web sites, blogs and bulletin boards as possible. Through your letters of support we hope to move Mr. Sires to action.

    You can read more about this legislation at http://www.FixTheLaw.org
