FTB: Chaos! Despair! Soup!

Pension Plan Puppets 

John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports

Everything happens so much.

I think we can all agree that it’s been an emotional week. In the last seven days, we’ve lost in spectacular fashion to an EBUG, had an uneventful trade deadline that was still somehow extremely tense, played a decently respectable game against the Biggest Baddest Wolves in the NHL, and saw our best defenseman go down after taking a shot to the hand.

How Insulin Became the Poster Child for Medicare for All

The New Republic 

Nicole Smith-Holt, a college financial aid specialist in Richfield, Minnesota, got the call on a Tuesday in June 2017. Her son Alec had been found alone in his new apartment, slumped over and ice-cold. In shock and disbelief, Nicole assumed that an intruder must have broken in. After Nicole and her husband, James, arrived at Alec’s place, she asked the paramedics if they were certain that he was even dead. He was such a heavy sleeper—had they tried shaking him? “What in the world could have possibly... Читать дальше...

When “Meatless Mondays” Aren’t Enough

The New Republic 

One might read a piece in the New York Times food section about the difficulties of obtaining ethically and responsibly sourced shrimp, then find links to shrimp recipes beneath it. The national section of a magazine might be reporting on Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids at Mississippi poultry processing plants, while a food writer extols the joys of Popeyes’s chicken sandwich. The insatiable demand for a viral item is treated as though it exists in a different universe from the arrests... Читать дальше...

Bernie’s Boring Path to Victory

The New Republic 

There’s been much debate since the Iowa caucus about the extent to which Bernie Sanders has delivered on the promise that his campaign would inspire record breaking levels of turnout and engagement from nonvoters. This is an idea Sanders regularly plays up on the campaign trail and on the debate stage. “The way we are going to beat Trump,” he said during Tuesday night’s debate in South Carolina, “is we need a campaign of energy and excitement. We need to have the largest voter turnout in the history... Читать дальше...

How Far Left Should a Millennial Be?

The New Republic 

Liberals have never quite known what to make of those who are far to their left. Conservatives tend to conflate liberals and leftists so often that many who fit under the broad Democratic umbrella have fallen into the habit of doing likewise. This is why Democratic operative Peter Daou can write that “Clinton and Sanders supporters … largely have the same goals,” and an NPR reporter can claim that the 2020 Democratic candidates “all basically want to do a lot of the same things.” The difference...
