Stop cheering for Fetus's right to ride in HOV lane
*Opinion: Stop cheering for a fetus's right to ride in an HOV lane.*
Anything that accepts the claim that a fetus (or even an embryo!)
is a human being will spread the damage to our legal system. |

Election liar
The Republican nominee for governor of Maryland is an election liar.
Marylanders must expect him to lie about elections in the future, too,
including the elections he runs in. |

Amazon and Chipotle
Amazon is harassing warehouse employees with pressure not to vote
to unionize.
Workers at a Chipotle outlet filed for union recognition, so the
company shut that branch permanently.
The article sates that since mid-June the branch has been open "only
for staff trainings". I have a hunch that these "trainings" are
actually union-busting harassment meetings. This is a standard tactic
used by many companies to fight union organizing. They order workers
to listen for hours to the propaganda of union-busting consultants,
and perhaps to answer their questions too.
It could be useful training … in how to stand firm against the man.
Do you feel like eating Chipotle's food after reading this? |

Extreme heat
US cities are raising the priority of efforts to adapt to extreme heat,
since heat we now call "extreme" will become normal</a>.
Most of China has been hit badly by extreme heat and extreme rain.
Will Americans and Chinese recognize that current policies will make this
much worse in a decade or two? Mere adaptation to a danger while we continue
to make it a little worse every year is not rational, and in the long term
the heat will win the race. |

Permanent crisis
*We're living in an age of permanent crisis — let's stop planning for a
"return to normal".*
Governments continue trying to do that.
It is fundamentally harder to plan for a different world 10 years from now,
and a world 20 years from now that would be different again.
*Unless we act soon, this heatwave is just a taste of things to come.* |

Restarting grain exports
*Ukraine and Russia sign UN-backed deal to restart grain exports.*
There are many ways this plan could fail. Putin could "implement" it
with bad faith, or make new demands. But it could also fail despite
sincere efforts by all parties. I hope it does succeed. |

Graham Mansfield
Graham Mansfield was tried for murder after killing his wife, Dyanne,
who in great pain from terminal cancer and made him promise to end her
suffering. Then he tried to kill himself, but he couldn't go through with it.
I read that he was acquitted of murder. I hope they do not punish
him. Staying alive without his dearest is a terrible punishment. |
