What's hard about public policy is weighing the trade offs. For example, something sucks really bad and everyone hates it, but on the other hand several evil trillionaires think it's good. What are you supposed to do in that situation

The rule they are overturning was predicted to give $120 billion in public health benefits by 2047, with projections that by 2035, it would would prevent up to 1,200 premature deaths, 870 hospital and emergency room visits, 360K asthma attacks, 48K school absence days and 57K lost workdays each year

Jack Berkman is low hanging fruit for that 60 Minutes story about pardons, he is the same conman mixed up in the Seth Rich story.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

If you have Netflix I might recommend watching the two documentaries 9/11 and the War on Terror and Generation 9/11. Both have good insights on the America that has emerged since … and because of … 9/11.

A great new documentary on Netflix, Generation 9/11, draws a clear line from the U.S. reaction to 9/11 to the current whipped up Islamophobia, constant wars in the ME including Iran, and the brutal ICE assault on PoC including Muslims. NYT is ignorant. We’re in the grip of 9/11 now more than ever.

Watching the 9/11 document on Netflix. Hard to believe it was 25 years ago. Also incredible to think so much of the US population was either too young to remember or not yet born when it happened.

Can’t recommend “Generation 9/11” on Netflix highly enough. Not only talks specifics of 9/11, but also how it has shaped the daily lives of everybody for the past 25 years. Asks the important question “was our response worth it?” and shows those not born yet or very young and how they see it. 👍👏

“9/11 gave birth to the truther movement….claiming 9/11 wasn’t real or that jet fuel can’t burn steel, that it was an inside job. When you look at these disinformation campaigns through the eyes of children who actually lost loved ones, that makes it even more profound and telling.”
