*Why did the Queen’s death receive saturation media coverage while the future
of the Earth goes largely ignored?*
*Why did the Queen’s death receive saturation media coverage while the future
of the
Earth goes largely ignored?*
I conjecture that it's because global heating implies a responsibility
to try to stop it, whereas the death of the Queen does not imply any
responsibility for most people. |

Republicans are working very hard to take workers off the voter lists.
Republicans are working very hard to take workers off the voter lists.
Here are
some of the excuses they employ.
You can check your voter registration to make sure it has not been
cancelled. However, the article doesn't say how to tell whether they
are purging you by caging, or how to prevent that. |

Pieper Lewis killed a man that she accused of raping her.
Pieper Lewis killed a man that she accused of raping her. She has been
sentenced to 5 years' probation, with the requirement to
pay $150k to
the man's family.
She can't possibly make that much money, because nearly good jobs are
off limits to people with criminal convictions. So this would be an
impossible demand, and that cannot be just. By luck, she raised
the money by asking for donations, but that doesn't excuse an impossible
demand in a sentence.
In California, Jay Jordan has won a campaign to change that policy
of
excluding convicts from good jobs. |

Down With the Corporate Bean-Counters Who Spy on Their Workers
* When overpaid corporate boneheads … substitute slogans and
computer metrics for real solutions, they're admitting that they
are the problem; they simply don't know how to motivate and manage
a creative workforce.
They should resign in shame.*
They have the power, so they won't resign. We should demand laws
to prohibit measuring workers moment by moment. |

Republican Lindsey Graham proposes nationwide 15-week abortion ban
Senator Graham has proposed a federal law to
ban abortions after 15 weeks.
The law promotes several noteworthy confusions, such as calling that
"late term" when the arbitrary stopping point is
less than half the
usual gestation period.
He surely knows that it will not pass, so I wonder what political motive
leads him to propose something that most Americans disagree with. |

Why future sea levels matter to Suffolk’s Sizewell nuclear plant
The Sizewell B nuclear power plant, that the UK is paying exorbitantly
to construct by the seaside, could be dangerous in the
future as
sea-level rise brings the sea up to it.
It is a terrible waste of money that ought to be spent on efficient
decarbonization — with renewable energy. |
