New mothers and babies health

jeudi 2 janvier 2020 à 01:00

The states that restrict abortion tend to have the worst records on the health of new mothers and babies.

This is no coincidence: the right-wing christianitist ideology that bans abortion generally treats women as inferior, and it is inclined to tell poor people that their poverty is a divine punishment which they deserve.

Can't buy a home

jeudi 2 janvier 2020 à 01:00

US labor, housing and business policies have made it impossible for most working Americans to buy a home, and compel them to live many to a house, if they are not on the street. Changing these policies can fix that.

Turning agriculture regenerative

jeudi 2 janvier 2020 à 01:00

Redirecting US agricultural subsidies from Big Ag to small regenerative farms could turn America's agriculture regenerative in a decade. It would be good for human health and soil health, and reduce greenhouse emissions.

Farmers that have experienced John Deere's subjugatory tractor software should not make the same mistake again. Instead of jumping into dependence on another nonfree program, they should develop free software for mapping their pastures, and not save their data unencrypted in a cloudy server.

Father Christmas is dead

jeudi 2 janvier 2020 à 01:00

(satire) "Father Christmas is dead. No US personnel were lost in the operation, while a large number of Christmas’s elves and reindeer were killed with him," is how the bully announced an intervention against socialist distribution of toys.

Pumping water in arid area

jeudi 2 janvier 2020 à 01:00

Building the bully's border wall will require pumping 50 million gallons of water out of an arid area that is drying up. This could kill off eight species of animals that live in the region.

We should not allow water-guzzling crops to be grown in arid areas. That practice represents a competition to be the first to grab the last of a resource being drained. For society as a whole, that is imprudent, so society as a whole should stop it.
