First ‘Summit For Democracy’ Should Be The LastMore than 100 nations’ presidents, prime ministers, and kings met virtually at the Summit for Democracy on Dec. 9 and 10. It was the first meeting in history on this scale where the application — or ostensible application — of the democratic principle in the governance of national affairs was used as a criterion to invite participants to an international meeting. There are three ways to look at the summit. A naïve view is to consider it as a meeting of like-minded states, interested in learning from each other about how to improve the application of democratic principles at home. ... read more

For decades, state and local agencies have tried—halfheartedly, advocates say—to monitor and clean up the polluted air in Bayview.

CAPITALISM WAS NEVER GOING TO YIELD*Updated to remove my misuse of the term "late capitalism."* At Vox, in a piece titled "The World as We Know It Is Ending. Why Are We Still at Work?," Anna North writes: For a moment in early 2020, it seemed like we might get a break from capitalism. A novel coronavirus was sweeping the globe, and leaders and experts recommended that the US pay millions of people to stay home until the immediate crisis was over. These people wouldn’t work. They’d hunker down, take care of their families, and isolate themselves to keep everyone safe. With almost the whole economy on pause, the viru... read more

Now the Wall Street Journal warns that "Surging Fertilizer Costs Push Farmers to Shift Planting Plans, Raise Prices".
