barovsky at The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
What can a virus tell us about climate breakdown, in its causation and in humanity’s response? And what can both tell us about capitalism and communism?

It portrays capitalism not simply in metaphorical colors as a meta-virus run by parasites, but as the godfather of actual viruses, the patron of parasites.

The History of the Fight for Economic Equality in the United States

Daniel Mandell at The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Daniel Mandell* *Economics, Americas* As Americans debate the future, it’s worth remembering that the Founders believed that the republic depended upon a rough equality of wealth. Americans are increasingly worried about the rising tide of economic inequality, as fewer control more wealth. For the origins of these concerns, commentators usually point to the Gilded Age at the end of the 19th century, when a few men gained immense wealth and power in the U.S. and workers suffered extreme poverty. But fears of great wealth and the need for economic equality go back to the country’... more »

Your Psychologies Are Based Upon.....A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Stranger in a Strange Land at Stranger in a Strange Land - 20 hours ago
*Your psychologies are based upon dwelling on or digging into the past.

Or that America must be ready to face a future where its airpower doesn't control the skies? DARPA, the Pentag... more »
