Long-term, same boat. Short-term, when it's just a few islands here and there literally losing ground, I don't anticipate a lot of urgency over saving Homeless People Island. I anticipate that if this plan goes through, and if

This article is exactly what a skeptic suspects: Amazon had a vision, rushed to roll it out quickly, and didn't care about its many shortcomings falling short of the law, best practice, or its own stated goal of quality health care. S

How protected is this island from sea level rise? Some of the worst case scenarios suggest that all of Florida except the most northern parts could be underwater by the end of the century. I doubt any one island, much less one that homele

Recently read "The Waste Makers" (published in 1960, I believe). Nothing too mind-blowing since the advertising tricks used in that era are quaint compared to today's, but it definitely opened my eyes to how long the decreas

Is it, though? Getting 2/3rds of the US to agree on anything seems to be nigh impossible these days. I don't see how a convention could be called to amend [extremely popular issue] but then all of a sudden enough of the conventi
