Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 22 hours ago
The case that House Managers presented yesterday -- and will continue to present today -- is a master class in good lawyering. E.J. Dionne writes that it is airtight: The House impeachment managers moved efficiently on Wednesday to close off the escape hatches and back doors for Senate Republicans. Quietly but passionately, they put the lie to the sham alibis that weak and cowardly members of the GOP are likely to invoke if they decide to do Donald Trump’s bidding one more time. Those who vote to acquit the former president will now own it all: the incendiary speech that made the...

*David Himmelgreen, Jacquelyn Heuer* *economy, The Americas* Food banks are getting a boost from the relief packages that Congress approved in 2020 and huge donations from some of the richest Americans.

This begs a curious question. Does life simply shed genetic material that it doeas not need?. Are most lifeforms unrealized improved versions of themselves? All this empowers evolutionary choice but is actual proof of considered choice. The fix to all that is accessing future information in order to establish necessity. I do not know where this ultimately goes but we are forced to address another received bias in our thinking.. *World's fastest growing plant offers genomic clues for next-gen cropsBy Nick LavarsFebruary 02, 2021https://newatlas.com/e...
It's not higher value - it's dollar devaluation
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 1 day ago
I've written many times before about inflation. It's a growing problem, and it's getting worse more rapidly than ever. I've been watching our local prices for a long time, and I'd say they've increased faster over the past three months than I've ever seen happen before. The reason, in this case, is fairly obvious. It's not that products and services are *worth more*, and therefore getting more expensive - it's that the currency we use to buy them is *worth less*, because it's becoming depreciated. It's a simple equation. If you have 100 dollars in circulation, and an egg c...

*Michael F.

Time is of the essence. As new, potentially more dangerous variants of this coronavirus spread to new regio...

*David McMillan* *economy, Europe* The UK needs to play to its strengths. In the weeks since the Brexit free-trade deal was announced on December 24, people in the UK have been coming to terms with the fact that “free” does not mean completely free. But while much of the focus has been on the Northern Irish border and the row over vaccines, the financial services sector, centred around the City of London, is also going through substantial upheaval.
