Distribution of wealth, poor education and healthcare are big problems. Laws and policies are needed to provide good education, free health care and to reign in the greed and selfishness destroying democracy. Swim,Bike, Run.

More evidence Trump is totally not serious about getting a nuclear deal with Iran. This agreement will set off a nuclear race in the region, further disincentivizing Iran from limiting its own program.

Cychlorphine is so new, so difficult to seize that researchers believe it is often being delivered by international mail. Cheap and available, it has been nicknamed “poor man’s fentanyl.” Bombing boats is waste, as long as there is demand, new options will be available as others dry up.

Vast concentrations of wealth have sometimes - but not always - generated political pushback. In some cases, the very wealthy tolerated higher taxes or committed to philanthropy to offset populist dissent. Now they pretend to be the populists, and keep the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/b...

"At least 1,205 civilians have been killed in Iran since the US and Israel began attacking the country last Saturday, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA)." It's not a video game. Naming wars with catchy names like "Epic Fury", "Midnight Hammer" is disgusting.

“Right now we are filled with anger and our hope is freedom,” he said. We fundamentally are a people who are just chasing the freedom, like your values in the West.” Unfortunately the US is chasing values more aligned to the regime he has to deal with in Iran. Look to another country to emulate.
