    Very sharp note by on why we're not experiencing a crisis of capitalism - more like its relentless expansion (combined with globalisation's lopsided effect on western income distribution). Few people think in this range.

    Never been anything like it and it is beyond terrible for the country. Bar none, Rupert Murdoch is the worst and most dangerous immigrant to ever arrive on American soil. There are no words for the awfulness of his cancerous network.

    Not from the Guardian but the Telegraph: 'The collapse of trust can be traced to the fatal flaws in Boris Johnson’s personality. The latest crisis in No 10 is no fleeting embarrassment; but a game-changer that has stripped the PM of any remaining credibility.'

    In West Virginia, more than 26% of people ages 65+ have no natural teeth left — the highest rate of any state in the nation, notes KHN. And yet the chances of expanding Medicare to offer dental coverage are slim because of opposition from — who else? — WV Sen. JOE MANCHIN.

    Excellent column by on how the US often reacts more strongly to crises and aggression than it intends to in advance.

    "Much of today’s debate focuses on the risks of miscalculating with Russia or China by confusing their red lines. The world would be a calmer place if China and Russia were equally worried about America’s red lines." My column.
