We need to be aiming for the underlying failures.

We could have free housing co-ops.

Universal basic income makes volunteer work practical, which would elevate all our communities and let people contribute.

We could reform the justice system to focus on rehabilitation rather than incarceration.

#VeteransDay Veterans Day

May we live in a society where people ask for the autographs of Veterans and idolize Veterans with the same zeal and enthusiasm they have for celebrities who are not Veterans.

I’ve had a Roomba for years but stopped using it after it kept throwing itself into the fireplace while screaming that it just wanted the pain to stop.

Updated from just yesterday to include Reform's Leicestershire County Council 'savings'.....

'However here is where satire meets reality, they have now signed a contract worth up to £30mn in the hope of saving £90mn. Is this really what the voters were expecting?'

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.
These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why
ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

It’s apologising season. The audience for BBC output in the US is just over 40 million, not 77 million as I said. That’s the figure for the Americas as a whole. But the BBC is indeed the second most trusted news source in the US.
