Social Security and upcoming election
Social Security
has a long-term fiscal shortfall because its last
reform, in the 1980s, did not reckon with the increased inequality
of incomes in the US since then.
The simple fix is to make rich people pay the same share of their
high business income that the rest of us pay out of our smaller incomes.

Interest rates for the people, UK
The UK economy and low-wage workers are
suffering from the high interest rates.
The ostensible reason for high rates — to control inflation — was
foolish because the cause of inflation was
the greed of the rich.
The increased rates enabled companies to gouge and be even more greedy.

Virtual wife
*The man who married a hologram in Japan can no longer communicate
with his virtual wife.
The software that allowed the interaction is
no longer supported…*
If a computational activity is truly important to you, never depend
on being able to continue it by means of nonfree software controlled
by someone else! That is asking to lose.

in power.

For-profit bail industry
For-profit bail bonds companies are trying to prohibit the operation
of charities that
provide bail for non-rich people.
ALEC, the perverse organization that pushes any sort of right-wing law
at the state level, is supporting the campaign.

Urgent: Target, Walmart corporate activities
In the US, or wherever these stores operate:
call on Walmart and
Target
to stop pretending that shoplifting is mainly in neighborhoods
where blacks live, and stop pushing cruel "tough on crime" policies.

Double profiteering: toxic ground, FL
Toxic chemicals buried next to defunct factories can make people in
the neighborhood sick. They can spread into the grounds of
neighboring homes. New construction on
the
same ground can mobilize them to spread more.

Democracy metrics in decline, EU
*Rule of law declining across EU*, due to the
influence
of far-right parties which
don't believe in respecting legal rights.

Putin-forces EU operations like cold war
How Putin is returning Russian spying and murder operations in foreign countries
to resemble the
Soviet Union's activities
in the 70s and 80s.
He seems to expect that
the corrupter will convince US Republicans
to root for the Russian side instead of the American side, so the more outrageously he attacks
the US, the more support he will win.
