Oregon poverty

vendredi 11 août 2017 à 02:00

In Oregon, the high rent for housing is making poor parents go hungry so their children can eat.

In the US, "child protection" has become a totalitarian threat to families. If the state doesn't want children to be homeless or hungry due to circumstances beyond their parents' control, rather than declaring the parents "bad parents" and taking their children away, it should change those circumstances.

In the long term, the best way to enable people in the next generation to have better lives than we have is to make a lot fewer of them. The smaller population will automatically solve many of the problems that are difficult for a large population.

Tax dodging corporations

How Republicans and US corporations pretend that they pay high taxes.

Many large and highly profitable US corporations actually pay no federal income tax; they have arranged to locate so much of their profit in other countries (which have no tax on corporate profits) that there is nominally no profit for the US to tax.

They play similar games in the UK, where Amazon's tax-dodging gives it unfair advantages over bricks-and-mortar book stores. Amazon mistreats everyone involved with books, and in particular is a massive surveillance system.
