This Isn't a Google Streetview Car, Its a Government Spy Truck.
Chelsea Clinton's husband owns a hedge fund.
He is shutting it down because he lost most of its money.
I don't feel much sympathy for him or his investors; they gambled, they lost, and I expect they aren't broke. However, the most important point is what it implies about Clinton family values. They are plutocratists.
The US can excel in lots of areas if it stops trying to be number one in blood and gore, and imitates the countries that do peaceful things well.
Among philosophers of ethics, hardly anyone objects to abortion except those that use religion as a starting point.
The term "pro-life" was chosen by the antiabortionists to misrepresent the views of us proabortionists. It's a smear, and we should denounce it, not adopt it.
One of the nonresponsible international "tribunals" created by business supremacy treaties rejected Philip Morris's complaint against Australia's plain paper packaging law.
This is good, but take not of the reasoning: that Philip Morris had set up a front in Hong Kong merely to take advantage of the treaty. If the US and Australia ratify the TPP, US companies trying to obstruct Australia's public health policies (or environmental, or economic, or anything else important) would not lose for that reason.
Note also that it would have been easy for the same tribunal to ignore this point. I suspect that the decision was partly in response to the great deal of political attention that this particular point received.
