Trump's Covid-19 Plan Will Make You Sick
Donald Trump's Corona Virus strategy could make you and a lot of other people very sick.
Trump is using the same logic on COVID 19 that he used for pesticides.
First, Trump started approving pesticides that the entire scientific community agrees are destructive to the nervous systems of young children and can cause cancer. Then he dialed back on pollution rules from fossil fuel processors in ways that will increase cancer and lung disease.
In both cases he was able to ignore science in changing the rules because the Republicans are saying that any science that uses public health data where the names of every single person included in a study have not been published should not be used.
So when 10,000 people’s health outcomes who are exposed to pesticides show clearly that it causes brain damage, Trump won’t allow that data to be used because those people’s names have not been published. It’s a bizarre and anti-scientific logic, but it has prevented a lot of good public health science from being used for decision making.
Now it appears the Trump administration wants to use the same logic with coronavirus, which is terrifying. Their anti-science policies, first used to protect the pesticide and fossil fuel industries, are now endangering our entire nation as we face a viral public health emergency. How do we know? Because last night Trump told Hannity that people infected with COVID 19 should go to work and that the death rate is less then 1% even though our scientists says it's much higher.

Why The People "Should" Pick The President
Who should pick the president, the people or superdelegates and backroom deals?
From the publisher:
The framers of the Constitution battled over it. Lawmakers have tried to amend or abolish it more than 700 times. To this day, millions of voters, and even members of Congress, misunderstand how it works. It deepens our national divide and distorts the core democratic principles of political equality and majority rule. How can we tolerate the Electoral College when every vote does not count the same, and the candidate who gets the most votes can lose?
Twice in the last five elections, the Electoral College has overridden the popular vote, calling the integrity of the entire system into question―and creating a false picture of a country divided into bright red and blue blocks when in fact we are purple from coast to coast. Even when the popular-vote winner becomes president, tens of millions of Americans―Republicans and Democrats alike―find that their votes didn't matter. And, with statewide winner-take-all rules, only a handful of battleground states ultimately decide who will become president.
Now, as political passions reach a boiling point at the dawn of the 2020 race, the message from the American people is clear: The way we vote for the only official whose job it is to represent all Americans is neither fair nor just. Major reform is needed―now. Isn't it time to let the people pick the president?
In this thoroughly researched and engaging call to arms, Supreme Court journalist and New York Times editorial board member Jesse Wegman draws upon the history of the founding era, as well as information gleaned from campaign managers, field directors, and other officials from twenty-first-century Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns, to make a powerful case for abolishing the antiquated and antidemocratic Electoral College. In Let the People Pick the President he shows how we can at long last make every vote in the United States count―and restore belief in our democratic system.

Is Rush Limbaugh's Conspiracy Theory Right?
Hell hasn't frozen over, Rush Limbaugh might be right about this conspiracy theory about Bernie Sanders and the Democratic Party.
What is the difference between the establishment and an outside?
When Trump came into the party he was an outsider who then kicked out the inner established Republicans, Rush Limbaugh believes that this will happen to the Democratic Party should Bernie Sanders win the presidency.
Does Rush Limbaugh have it right? Will Bernie Sanders clean out the democratic party establishment and replace them with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mark Pocan?
What would that mean for the country?

Has America Become Victims Of Our Success?
Can America survive its own decadence?
From the publisher:
Today the Western world seems to be in crisis. But beneath our social media frenzy and reality television politics, the deeper reality is one of drift, repetition, and dead ends. The Decadent Society explains what happens when a rich and powerful society ceases advancing—how the combination of wealth and technological proficiency with economic stagnation, political stalemates, cultural exhaustion, and demographic decline creates a strange kind of “sustainable decadence,” a civilizational languor that could endure for longer than we think.
Ranging from our grounded space shuttles to our Silicon Valley villains, from our blandly recycled film and television—a new Star Wars saga, another Star Trek series, the fifth Terminator sequel—to the escapism we’re furiously chasing through drug use and virtual reality, Ross Douthat argues that many of today’s discontents and derangements reflect a sense of futility and disappointment—a feeling that the future was not what was promised, that the frontiers have all been closed, and that the paths forward lead only to the grave.
In this environment we fear catastrophe, but in a certain way we also pine for it—because the alternative is to accept that we are permanently decadent: aging, comfortable and stuck, cut off from the past and no longer confident in the future, spurning both memory and ambition while we wait for some saving innovation or revelations, growing old unhappily together in the glowing light of tiny screens.
Correcting both optimists who insist that we’re just growing richer and happier with every passing year and pessimists who expect collapse any moment, Douthat provides an enlightening diagnosis of the modern condition—how we got here, how long our age of frustration might last, and how, whether in renaissance or catastrophe, our decadence might ultimately end.

Overcrowded Prisons Petri-Dish For Corona Virus
Will America's overcrowded prisons prove to be a petri-dish for new viruses and lock the corona virus inside United States borders?
Prisons are notorious for a lack of medical care to inmates. Now many are worried that the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions the US forces human beings to live through, often for petty crime or because of an institutionally racist criminal injustice system, will help spread the corona virus [[Covid19) among the prison population.
What are inmates going to do when medical care is often denied as a form of punishment?
How can we help prisoners and incarcerated people deal with the coronavirus?
