Giving Muckraking a Good Name

Don't worry, this blog isn't about to turn into Consumerist. (Not that that would be such a bad thing, necessarily.) But this footage of Chase leaving its customers' information – names, account numbers, social security numbers, loan applications, you name it – in the trash outside its Manhattan branches is just too scary not to share. It's not impartial: the video comes from Chase Trash, which is a blog run by the Service Employeees International Union. So treat with as much of a pinch of salt as you think it deserves. But I'm shaken by it, I must say.
