  1. 'housing as a fundamental human right rather than a reward. Temporary accommodation is seen not as a solution, but something to be avoided. All support is centred on ensuring that people have permanent homes...In the long run, advocates say, it is cheaper for the state for people to be permanently housed, taking pressure off other public services'

  6. More about the glyphosate controversy:

    "Earlier this year, our Mother Jones investigation found that record amounts of glyphosate—the key ingredient in the herbicide Roundup—have been sprayed in California’s forests in recent years. It also exposed how key scientific studies that the Forest Service and others relied upon to say glyphosate was safe were ghost written by manufacturer Monsanto."

  26. The Ministry Has Discovered an Untapped Economy

    What happens when the Ministry applies modern economics, advanced technology and a Monte Carlo simulation to an old administrative challenge? A surprisingly ambitious reform emerges—complete with GST, digital infrastructure, tax incentives and a few unexpected consequences. The Ministry believes it may have discovered a new engine of economic growth. The economists are still running the numbers.

  47. A quotation from Molly Ivins

       This is a column for everyone in the path of Hurricane Katrina who ever said, “I’m sorry, I’m just not interested in politics,” or, “There’s nothing I can do about it,” or, “Eh, they’re all crooks anyway.”
       Look around you this morning. I suppose the NRA would argue, “Government policies don’t kill people, hurricanes kill people.” Actually, hurricanes plus government policies kill people. […] This, my friends, is why we need to pay attention to government policies, not political personalities, and to know whereon we vote. It is about our lives.

    Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Essay (2005-09-09), “Katrina and You,” Texas Observer
