Remember when White Wolf got into doing omnibus fiction hardcovers from Michael Moorcock, Fritz Leiber, and Harlan Ellison? And they did a 15 volume series of Moorcock's Eternal Champion Cycle? The most treasured thing I own from White Wolf.

Counties in states that expanded Medicaid under the ACA saw a 25% decrease in drug arrests, a 19% drop in “violent offense” arrests, and a 24% decrease in “low-level” offense arrests (Simes & Jahn 2022). Expanding public benefits leads to lower crime rates!

The results from the world’s largest Universal Basic Income study are now in. Findings:
“A monthly UBI empowered recipients and did not create idleness. They invested, became more entrepreneurial, and earned more. The common concern of “laziness” never materialized.”
