It's no joke: Weaker environmental rules put us all at risk

Thought for the day
In Enoch Powell's famous speech he said the following of the native British people: "For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country. They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition." Just thought that was interesting.
Barbarians In the Boardrooms
When policies fail over and over again, Jacob Bacharach writes, it's because their *real intent* is succeeding. And, for the past forty years, capitalism's real intent has been on a tear: It’s not that “Capitalism isn’t working,” as Noah Smith recently argued in Bloomberg. It’s that it’s working all too well. Real wage growth has been nonexistent in the United States for more than 30 years. But as America enters the 10th year of the recovery—and the longest bull market in modern history—there are nervous murmurs, even among capitalism’s most reliable defenders, that some of its mo... more »

Will anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn be the next British PM? Asks The Boston Globe
'If public opinion polling is to be believed, the United Kingdom's Labour Party stands a good chance of being asked to lead the next British government. If that happens, will British voters have chosen an anti-Semite to lead their country? At one time, such a question would have been unimaginable. But ever since Jeremy Corbyn, a long-time socialist and back-bencher member of Parliament, shocked the political world in 2015 by winning a Labour party leadership election, the evidence of his anti-Semitism — and that of the party he leads — has become a stench too powerful to ignore.

Only the present can be lost for this is all that is man's.
