The bully wants to limit Medicaid benefits for people with incurable diseases. That means that they will get treatment only until they reach the arbitrary limit; then, I suppose, they will be put out on the street.

The UK minister called the death of an "independent contractor" a "tragedy".

That death was the predictable result of allowing unjust business practices, for which the minister is directly responsible. That is no tragedy, it is an injustice.

Coal ash dumps near power plants are poisoning the local water.

The UK state is using local governments as "human shields" to pass budget cuts on to the people.

It is natural that local governments will raise taxes to fund the activities they must do. This solves the immediate problem, but it is not a fair solution.

Local governments can only tax the local inhabitants and local businesses. However, wealthy people and big, profitable businesses are not evenly distributed. In an area where most people are poor, this puts a heavy burden on them. That's why the national government needs to do the taxing, and distribute the money to all the local governments.

The US says that Russian agents "penetrated" some states' election agencies.

This is a bad thing, but I'm far more worried about the penetration by Republicans.
