Planet roasters can no longer convince by denying that global heating is occurring, so they have switched to other methods to stop society from taking sufficient steps to curb the heating. Interview with Michael Mann.

There is no evidence that Wikileaks was part of a scheme to elect the wrecker. It published evidence in 2016 that the Democratic Party had corruptly prevented Sanders from winning the nomination. That corruption was a bigger problem than the fact that it was leaked.

One benefit for the UK (and the world) of its departure from the EU is that Goober will have to stop paying British drivers peanuts.

I made a mistake in a previous note of saying that the drivers were now "employees." It seems that in the UK makes a distinction between "employees" and "workers"; the drivers are now "workers." I am not sure what rights workers have, but it is more than "independent" contractors.

Americans believe that their country has a "social safety net" which will protect them from absolute penury when something goes wrong. In recent decades, many cords of the net have been removed or stretched, so now people tend to fall through it. Here are the details.

A good government arranges to do better for its people than merely set up a net somewhere beneath them in case they fall. It provides good things for its people so that everyone can have a good life.

The US should boost Social Security by eliminating the cap on how much income a person pays the tax on.

The reason this cap exists is because there is an idea that each person is supposed to receive support based on per own earnings. Following that idea, if there is a limit on how much Social Security will pay a retire rich person, there has to be a limit on how much that person pays Social Security.

I think it is perfectly fine to say that rich people will help support the rest, through Social Security as well as in other ways.
