As COVID Vaccine Injuries Pile Up, It’s Worth Remembering: Medicine Is a Leading Cause of Death in the U.S. Does the skyrocketing all-cause mortality observed since 2021 have anything to do with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s enabling of deadly COVID-19 vaccines?

The grave distribution problem we have in our society of a few billionaires and many more poor people is treated as a second-order concern by traditional economic analysis.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced the cancellation of up to $20,000 in student loan debt for certain borrowers, belatedly following through on a campaign issue that has remained a top priority for progressive Democrats. Biden also announced a continuation of the freeze on student loan payments until January.

# Energy / Pipelines / Mining / Chemical In Texas, chemical leaks lack consequences: Penalties are often waived for unplanned leaks, but experts say existing consequences are too weak to deter polluters. Put another way, about 90% of the plant’s accidental releases have gone unpunished. Chevron Phillips, it seems, has gotten off easy. But it’s not that simple.
