Granted, it's a little heavy handed, but @ThomHartmann has a point. The extreme wealth inequality in this country is hurting the vast majority of Americans, and it doesn't have to be this way. Nobody should be homeless or starving in the richest country in the world. Everyone should be paying their fair share. We shouldn't have people becoming destitute because they need medical care.

How The Richest Democracy in the World Abandons Americans

America is now the most unequal society in the developed world. Our billionaires are the richest, and our poor people are the poorest of any functioning democracy on Earth…

@thejapantimes The sole and fatal reason that will "kill" #twitter is the over-valued LBO and subsequent #mismanagement of the #birdsite by the narcissistic egoist #Musk - all other issues are merely red herrings. The only "reason" and hence the only one to fault is himself, but he won't admit it of course. #StopMusk #StopGreed

Deep sea mining permits may be coming soon. What are they and what might happen?

The United Nations body that regulates the world’s ocean floor is preparing to resume negotiations that could open the international seabed for mining, including for materials vital for the green energy transition. Negotiations within the International Seabed Authority are approaching a critical point since it will soon need to begin accepting applications for mining permits. Environmental activists and researchers worry about the potential impact of mining on sparsely researched marine ecosystems and habitats of the deep sea. Here’s a look at deep sea mining, its importance and why environmental activists are raising concerns.
