As others have pointed out, the far bigger issues than economic or population growth are income inequality and the ways in which that inequality empowers the hyper-wealthy to undermine liberal democracies that would otherwise likely move to constrain their power, influence, and wealth

Better social structures can get people more of what most of us want with less material throughput. More total agregate spending isn't more happiness.

Agree. I think of GDP as a measure of a the strength of a country’s economic ‘muscle’. The key point is what you use the muscle to accomplish (re the other measures you mention).

Yes, it is overwhelming. Take some moments to take care of yourself, like getting a bit of sunshine (can be difficult in winter, but Infrared light fights inflammation) or exercise or a mini spa day at home. We need to take care of ourselves so that we can keep stepping our way through this.💗

Zelenskyy should suggest a meeting in Canada. We arrest people with warrants issued by the ICC.

"Kremlin is prepared to ensure President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's security."

Russia started off the war attempting to assassinate him with a Chechen death squad, lol.

The people of MN are doing a job 1000% better than the legacy journalists are. We have a lag in information of attacks that occurred days before because people are afraid. The woman in the pink jacket who made a statement attested to this.

Think of what we aren’t seeing. Turn to the camps.

Did they have to give urine drug tests?

Detox grace time is about 72 hrs.

Anyone who is pepper-spraying nonviolent people in the face deserves to face assault charges (really close to attempted murder), as do those who repeatedly punch and kick people (especially when the person is being held down by one's friends)!

I think ICE lied and claimed the dad was part of a "terrorist" organization, and now they cannot release him for his son's funeral unless they admit that their charges against him are All a Big Lie.

Ghislaine Maxwell got a better cell and a dog. You have to be a pedophile to get privileges from this presidential administration.

My brother, you can't "reform" a concentration camp.

Ban the incarceration in any private prison/prison/concentration camp, of any child under age 18, pregnant woman/girl, & any parent of a child. The disgusting health-destroying conditions lead to future illness & premature death. Online Realtime freely available database of current/past detainees.

{{heavy sigh}} I fear you may be correct.

Ahh, my least favorite justice.

I have a feeling that there's a backstory that we don't fully know yet. Did Biden still feel that it was essential to continue to kiss up to Bibi, and if so, why?

beautiful tribute!

Wasn't Bibi meeting with candidate Trump, rather than with President Biden? The whole thing seemed very underhanded, and the Palestinians were the pawns that paid the horrible price (and continue to suffer).
