Mental health provisions, Jamaica
Jamaica has got good results from treating the vast majority of the
mentally ill
without hospitalization.
With mental illness increasing in other countries, maybe that approach
would be good to adopt.

Indigenous housing in protected forest
A group of indigenous Australians in New South Wales want to build
housing on an area of forest that needs protection. The state
government blocked the plan,
so they played the "indigenous card."
The government of New South Wales is right-wing, and in general fails
to defend the environment. That means it often deserves criticism.
This seems to be an unusual case where it did defend the environment.

Choosing sacrifice on rich or sacrifice on poor
*The United States of America has to choose between imposing a
sacrifice on the rich, by increasing their taxes, or imposing a
sacrifice on the poor, by decreasing their health care. The vast
majority of the people, including many rich people, want to tax the
rich.*

Criminalizing use of abortion pills
Florida Republicans will criminalize the taking of abortion pills.
There is an exception for rape an incest but you have to prove somehow
that it was rape or incest — very difficult to do.
"Exceptions to abortion bans are often useless and are only included
to make extreme restrictions seem more reasonable." |

Single-use water bottles
The typical single-use water bottle uses up a lot more water than it
can contain.
I try hard to avoid single-use water bottles, using them only as a
last resort. As a result, the number I use per year in the US is just
a handful. Even in Europe I don't use them often. |
