Dontcare bill

samedi 22 juillet 2017 à 02:00

Two more Republican senators have come out against the current Dontcare bill, which means it cannot pass in its current form.

SCROTUS have lost a battle but they won't give up yet.

Mining gold on conservation land

samedi 22 juillet 2017 à 02:00

A company wants to mine gold from protected conservation land in New Zealand.

The company would profit greatly from that gold, but the world as a whole won't benefit particularly from mining more gold.

Cooperative business in Greece

samedi 22 juillet 2017 à 02:00

26 Greek chemical workers took over a piece of their factory when it shut down. They now operate a cooperative business, protected by the local community from raids by the owners that want to take and sell the equipment for a small value.

Medical tests

samedi 22 juillet 2017 à 02:00

The Republican idea that Americans should decide thoughtfully which medical tests to take accept (when recommended by their doctors) is impossible: clinics won't tell patients what any test will cost them.

That is one more reason for a universal national medical system, also known as Medicare for All.

Ozone

samedi 22 juillet 2017 à 02:00

Republicans want to delay new US regulations to reduce ozone in humans' direct environment.

Ozone kills a lot more Americans than terrorists do, but protecting Americans from ozone is not an excuse to deny our human rights. It's just one of the thousands of useful ways the state can protect people from being harmed by business.
