*WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 2020Trump's bogus claims about testing:* Monday afternoon, President Trump and at least one major flunky conducted a press event right there in the famous Rose Garden. The event was held beneath two signs. Each of the signs said this: *AMERICA LEADS THE WORLD IN TESTING* *Does* America lead the world in testing? To some extent, it all depends on what the meaning of "leads the world in testing" is!

The MOVE House Bombing 35 Years Later
May 13, 2020, is the 35th anniversary of the day Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a home in a working-class neighborhood. The resulting conflagration and police gunfire killed 11 people, including five children, and destroyed 61 houses. It was a military assault designed to wipe out the MOVE organization. MOVE, a back-to-nature group founded in 1972 by John Africa, had been the subject of police harassment for years and the target of a violent attack that landed nine MOVE supporters in prison. Today, as calls for an official apology from the city grow louder, it is necessary t... more »
Coronavirus May Accelerate The Demise Of Rural America
Over the last two months the coronavirus pandemic has brought nation’s largest, and most powerful cities to their knees. But as curves show signs of flattening in many urban areas, and governors have begun the process of “reopening” their economies, new hotspots are emerging in places like southwest Georgia, the Navajo nation, and in and around meatpacking plants in Iowa and the Texas panhandle. Rural communities like these lack the healthcare infrastructure and financial resources of larger cities, while at the same time are home to and older and sicker populations, more likely t... more »
Ecuador Persecutes Opponents As COVID-19 Crisis Exposes Neoliberal War On Public Sector

The official figures tracking the number of infected finally began demonstrating the more accurate picture of the catastrophe, with the total number of infected and dead reaching 7,161 and 297 on April 10 — an increase of 30 percent within 24 hours. By the end of the month, the official figure for the infected stood at... more »
El Salvador: Bukele’s Heavy- Handed Response To Pandemic Violates Human Rights
Behind that jovial image of a president who takes selfies at the U.N. and governs over social media stands a strategic ally of the United States who has little regard for human rights.

The first was when he used the armed forces to militarize the national legislature; the second was a speech in which he announced measures he was taking to confront the Coronavirus pandemic, suggesting that his government’s response would be “an exemplary m... more »
Pennsylvania Initiative To Convert Lawns Into Meadows, Forests
Well-shorn lawns are still the norm on the grounds of parks, schools, churches, hospitals, business parks and neighborhoods. While better than exposed bare earth, such swaths of green are still environmental minefields.

The springtime spreading of fertilizer to keep grass thick and green is a troublesome source of nutrients that are harmful to the Chesapeake Bay. Close-cropped grass grows from compacted dirt that doesn’t soak up much stormwater. The short, monoculture g... more »

Democrats hate the working poor: Keeping the country shut edition
Democrats want to keep the country closed so as to ensure that we're in a Depression in November. They think that's the only way that radical Joe Biden can win the Presidency.

We frequently hear that COVID-19 is the worst pandemic since the 1918 Spanish flu.

That pandemic killed an estimated 10 million in India alone. I remember my family talking about it, as also numerous stories I read which had plague as their backdrop, and a recent book on the Bombay plague.

Perhaps he should have been dropped for a more consequential misstep. Details of the model his team built to predict the epidemic are emerging and they are not pretty. In the respective words of four experienced modellers, the code is “deeply riddled” with bugs, “a fairly arbitrary Heath Robinson machine”, has “huge blocks of code – bad practice” and is “quite possibly the worst production code I have ever seen”.
