While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections.

According to The Lancet, America’s for profit exploitative healthcare system causes 68,000 preventable deaths annually.
That means since an assailant killed the @UHC CEO, America’s health insurance corps have killed ~400 Americans who should be alive today.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
