In Chicago and New York the idea of “public wealth for public good” has led to calls for city-run grocery stores and fare-free transit.

Criminalizing the poor and homeless of Los Angeles
California has a sordid history of criminalizing poor and homeless people with laws against sitting, lying, or sleeping/camping that date back to the 1870s. Just after the abolition of slavery in 1865, Penal Code 647e declared that “No person shall sit, lie, camp on public or private property without the owner’s permission.”
Capitalism Cannot Withstand AI
The famous scientist, Stephen Hawking once warned that artificial intelligence (Ai) would be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity.” The issue is which human social force – which economic class of people – controls it.

During July 2023, millions celebrate Independence Day, honoring the American Revolution that broke this country out of the British Empire.

2030. That is the year by which climate scientists have warned us that unless 50% of annual carbon emissions are erased an irreversible tipping point will be crossed.
