The powerful interests around global heating
George Monbiot:
right-wing extremism feeds on the misery
caused by
climate disaster, while it demonizes the efforts to reduce the disaster.
This is because right-wing extremism serves egoistic billionaires,
many of whom profit from the businesses that we would have to limit if we are to survive.

Gambling ads
The Guardian
has vowed to reject all ads for gambling.
The Boston subways are full of ads for gambling dis-services. What stood about
about them, when I first saw them, is that they did not say what they
were selling, and I could not figure it out. Nowadays they do say "bet".

College for All Act
Sanders and Jayapal have reintroduced a bill to tax stock transactions,
and
pay the tuition fees
of community college for those who can't
afford it.
It will also pay tuition fees for students at four-year colleges that
typically serve students from minority groups. I am in favor of this,
since those groups have faced a lot of prejudice, but really this
ought to be extended to cover people of any racial background.
Taxing stock transactions has the benefit of damping down speculation
aside from the benefit of raising more funds from people who can spare it.
