To be clear, this is not my scholarly area of expertise. There are other folks who are far smarter and savvier about the topic than I am. This is just me speaking as a history buff and someone who does teach economic geography.

However, the causal links are pretty undeniable, in my opinion.

I have the (perhaps) unpopular opinion on the left that the Soviet Union wouldn't have survived in its extant form in the 1990s with glasnost and perestroika, and that these developments were good for the country.

However, that does not mean that unbridled oligarchic capitalism was the answer.

The massive looting of the Russian economy during the "shock therapy" era of economics post 1991 (the era of vouchers for state industries finding their way into the hands of oligarchs) is a direct reason behind the oligarchic economic structure of Russia today.

The product, which Baum-Blake has patented, has some fun and essential features. The latter is that faces and license plates are always blurred for privacy reasons; the former is that City Detectโ€™s technology can distinguish between street art and vandalism. It also helps governments track whether landlords are not properly maintaining their buildings.

The incoming nomination of the next Secretary of Homeland Security is an evergreen example of the reality that there will always be Indigenous peoples, and more broadly, colonized peoples who will gladly become foot soldiers and staunch defenders of Empire out of self-interest.

This article's thesis is that the rise of the Greens and the rise of Reform are symbiotic

But the rise of both is in a symbiotic relationship not with each other but with a 'centrism' that has been failing for years

The leader writers of The Economist are has clueless as the leaders of Lab & Con

"Reform blames scrounging migrants. The Greens blame the rich" - to the Economist those two points are equally bad

And what does the Economist offer to boost growth? Failed 'centrism' - welfare cuts and planning deregulation

It is precisely this failing 'centrism' is fuelling the rise of both

Florida surgeon general wants to abolish school vaccine mandates. Lawmakers arenโ€™t on board Joseph Ladapo made national news in September when he said he wanted to abolish all school vaccine mandates, but the Legislature never took up his proposal, and even its weaker bill looks dead thisโ€ฆ

The most drastic efforts to end school vaccine mandates in Florida look likely to fail for now. Despite the state surgeon generalโ€™s wild pronouncements, he doesnโ€™t have the votes.

Taking a short break from posting for a few days. The news about BC's move to permanent daylight time hit me harder than I expected.

The past half decade navigating COVID has already been a struggle. This feels like just another battle trying to get gov't to care about science

This means 2C will likely be breached in the late 2030s
