Public Support For Russian President Putin Continues To Decline

Kremlin.ru *Maxim Trudolyubov, Moscow Times:* *When Trust Fails: How Long Can the Russian State Withstand Waning Public Support?* Putin is no longer immune from responsibility for the economic malaise besetting the country he leads. The Russian public’s trust in the institution of the presidency went down significantly between 2017 and 2019, as did, to a somewhat lesser extent, trust in the Federal Security Service (FSB, successor to the KGB). Trust in the military remains strong. Still, these three agencies, in the order of the presidency, the army, and the security agency, rema... more »

A Lucky Man

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
Paul Manafort got lucky yesterday. Judge T.S. Ellis sentenced him to four years less a month in jail. Prosecutors had recommended a sentence of 19 to 24 years. But Ellis concluded that Manafort had led, "an otherwise blameless life." Manafort's record suggests otherwise. Matt Stieb writes: Far worse than those criminal actions are his career highlights that were legal — or, at least weren’t under the scope of federal prosecutors. After setting up a lobbying shop with Roger Stone and Charles Black Jr., Manafort took his talents abroad, where he spent decades vouching for authoritar... more »

Does ‘Consciousness’ Exist?

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 15 hours ago
William JamesToday I read William James’s 1904 essay, “Does ‘Consciousness’ Exist?” In the early part of his essay, he declares that consciousness “is the name of a nonentity… a mere echo, the faint rumor left behind by the disappearing ‘soul’ upon the air of philosophy." Here’s an excerpt in which James is making the point that consciousness is not a substance: There is… no aboriginal stuff or quality of being, contrasted with that of which material objects are made, out of which our thoughts of them are made; but there is a function in experience which thoughts perform, and for ... more »

Bolton Is Ready To Build “Fortress America”

The case for tolerance

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 15 hours ago
"A lack of self-awareness comes as a corollary to intolerance. Intolerant people, in their speech and bumperstickers, advertise their tolerance. They justify their prejudice by projecting their jaundiced fantasy of “the other,” to borrow from the academese used in the report, upon real people who rarely conform to the caricature. We never see ourselves as intolerant because we depict our foes as intolerable." https://spectator.org/do-blame-me-im-from-massachusetts/

The formula is simple, appeal to greed and the appeal of spending other people's money on yourself.

. This is the debate that the USA has never had, not least because the industry wants it that way. After all, with politicians debating multiple issues, any solution will fall through the cracks. That the problem has been solved elsewhere goes unmentioned. Our Canadian system ensures a doctor sees you and likely bounces you up the service chain. That is actually good enough as at that point you tend to have enough knowledge to choose various options. Wait times are dependent on the doctor and even there new protocols can help that along.
