MIT's famous linguistic professor Noam Chomsky was in regular and close contact with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a review of emails published by the U.S. House Oversight Committee. In the documents, Chomsky described Epstein as a "highly valued friend."

Homelessness down to zero and no traffic deaths in Helsinki - lets study what's working - likely the political will to obtain and follow the data
“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

This info has been out there for years. I have yet to see a politician propose this approach in North America
Homelessness is a feature, not a bug
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

There are solutions but they cost everything we think we know
55% of CEOs reported mental health struggles last year—higher than their employees.
Dustin Moskovitz called being CEO "exhausting" and stepped back.
Tennis stars ended their seasons at "breaking point."
The mask still fits. It just costs more than it pays.

It’s not a debate and they’re not interested in the data
WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.
Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes
Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

I sincerely hope this information surprises no one
New housing stops landlords from raising rents—take it from the CEO of AvalonBay, one of NYC's largest landlords:
"We're well-positioned… we face significantly less new supply. Land entitled for multifamily is hard to come by, the amount of time it takes to get those entitlements… sets us up well.”

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I have yet to see a study showing otherwise. Brilliant
For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Shot clocks should be a national priority

This is true
"The function of the mere critic is of very subordinate usefulness. It is the doer of deeds who actually counts in the battle of life and not the man who looks on and says how the fight ought to be fought, without himself sharing the stress and the danger."

Love the shot clock
[BILL ALERT] AB 1308, which establishes a statewide 10 day shot clock for inspecting small residential projects, has passed the Senate floor! It now moves back to the Assembly for a concurrence vote, then on to the Governor’s desk.
