Can America Evolve Towards A Country With A Humanitarian Bottom Line Rather Than Just A Financial Bottom Line?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 12 hours ago
I was on the phone with Marianne Williamson this morning and she was talking to me about how we have to change our country's priorities and the need to go from an economic bottom line to a humanitarian bottom line. During her presidential campaign she said that "The first pillar of a season of moral repair has to do with economic justice-- has to do with recognizing that we have created a wealth inequality greater than anytime since 1929, we have decimated America's middle class, and we must take immediate action to fix this. We should repeal the 2017 $2 trillion tax cut, which ... more »

sue at Is the BBC biased? - 12 hours ago
We may not all be 100% comfortable with men talking about their husbands. “Speak for yourself!” do I hear you say? Well, I *am* speaking for me. It’s not so much that I care one way or the other about same-sex marriage, it’s a language thing. I wouldn’t mind if they used an expression like ‘my spouse’ instead. The word ‘husband’ conjures up more than gender-neutral ‘partner in marriage’. For me, the word emotes masculinity in a nurturing, protective kind of way, and a bloke who mentions his ‘husband’ instantly clothes himself in a frilly pinny. Not that Dave Rubin appears at all e... more »

Why The Oil And Gas Industry Will Never Be The Same

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago
When a staple commodity collapses to negative value it signals that something is clearly amiss in the global economy. When it is a global energy source like crude oil, it does not just signal pain in the oil patch, but an economic dislocation evocative of the Great Depression. Rare is the time when a commodity over which nations have fought wars in the past presents itself as something that traders would literally pay you to take it off their collective hands. To be sure, there are good technical reasons why U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude oil (WTI), the underlying commodity re... more »

On The Conservative “Will to Power”

Unknown at The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago
Twenty-first century conservatism has the “will to power”; it lacks the “will to build a better world.” The conservatives expect to find redemption and meaning in a government that is conservative in name only; they have no desire to work for a conservative society based on the principles of liberty and free markets. The conservative mindset follows Walter Benjamin’s insight “The work is the death of the intention”—for the conservatives, winning the election means the death of the conservative intention; once political power is acquired, they forget conservatism.
