Public transit push in Los Angeles
LA is making a strong push to improve public transit for its
Olympic
Games in 2028.
At least for once the region where they are held may gain a lasting benefit. Meanwhile, the city
says it will give homeless people temporary housing. I hope that doesn't mean they will be out on
the street again the following week, and their old encampments will be put in the trash.

Electorate vs "alternate" electors
*Kamala Harris said in a campaign video that former President Donald
Trump’s pick for vice president will be "loyal only to Trump, not to
our country."*
She had a firm basis to make this claim: Vance said, "If I had been vice president, I would have
told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia and so many others, that we needed to have
multiple
slates of electors and I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there."

An economic myth
Robert Reich debunks economic myth #1.
Economics,
when Adam Smith founded it, was about
questions such as the
meaning
of a good society. What sort of society do we want? How do we understand a “good” society?
What do we owe one another as members of such a society?
He called himself a moral philosopher.
And that is still what economics is about, except that plutocratists pretend that that part of it
never existed.
