The squealing you hear is bankster outrage that their plunder can no longer continue. Their bluff has been called. Haircuts are coming. And banks will fail because they bought Greek debt they knew was toxic and that Greece was cooking the books. So what are you to do so right here and now? Watch [...] Infrastructurist: Just because population is decreasing doesn’t necessarily mean a city is dying. Some supposedly dying cities are in fact re-inventing themselves. A fantastic example of a community taking the negative by the horns and turning it into a community development opportunity comes from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Number 10 on the Newsweek list, Grand [...] For far too long, California political districts have been created by whoever was in power. Oddly-shaped gerrymandered districts carved out safe areas for the party in control. Loyal members got safe districts, making it easy to get re-elected.

They were always going to believe in climate change; it’s the sort of problem that can best be solved using the tools they most enjoy using. The right tended to be sceptical [...] Thomas Friedman You really do have to wonder whether a few years from now we’ll look back at the first decade of the 21st century — when food prices spiked, energy prices soared, world population surged, tornados plowed through cities, floods and droughts set records, populations were displaced and governments were threatened by [...] European leaders in open revolt against ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet Financial street gangs (oh, sorry, I of course meant the ECB and leaders of nations) are attacking each other in Europe on whether to continue bailouts to the debtor nations and who should take a haircut on the bonds.
