** Coronavirus Shines Light on Zoos as Danger Zones for Deadly Disease Transmission Between Humans and Animals ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Marilyn Kroplick on Jul 30, 2020 11:30 am
[link removed]
The pandemic makes one thing clear: We must change our relationship with wildlife or suffer the consequences. The term “zoonotic disease” wasn’t a hot topic of conversation before the novel coronavirus started spreading across the globe and upending lives. Now, people are discovering how devastating viruses that transfer from animals to humans can be. But [...]

[link removed]
Not only are deaths up, but the state’s positivity rate is pushing 20% as Tropical Storm Isaias approaches. On the same day 216 Floridians died from the coronavirus, officials announced they would close all state-run testing facilities until at least Tuesday due to Tropical Storm Isaias. Tropical Storm Isaias is expected to make landfall in [...]

“Mnuchin and the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service appear to be exploiting this public health pandemic to hold the Postal Service to unreasonable loan terms without even consulting Congress.” (By: Jake Johnson, Common Dreams) Leading congressional Democrats are warning that an emergency loan agreement announced Wednesday by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and new Postmaster General [...]

** The Consequences of Inequality Can Be Fatal ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Richard Wolff on Jul 29, 2020 02:11 pm
[link removed]
Capitalism, as Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century shows, relentlessly worsens wealth and income inequalities. That inherent tendency is only occasionally stopped or reversed when masses of people rise up against it. That happened, for example, in western Europe and the U.S. during the 1930s Great Depression. It prompted social democracy in Europe and the New [...]

** Just Like With Healthcare, Democrats Offer Half-Hearted Measures to Impending Eviction Crisis ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Guest Post on Jul 29, 2020 12:00 pm
[link removed]
The federal moratorium on evictions expired this week, leaving 12 million renters at risk of losing their homes, and much as they did with healthcare, Democrats are offering little more than token non-solutions. (By: Alan Macleod, Mintpress News)The best defense against a raging pandemic that has already claimed over 152,000 American lives is simply to [...]

** It’s the Economy, Stupid! Or Is It the Stupid Economy? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Collective 20 on Jul 29, 2020 11:00 am
[link removed]
The pandemic provides an opportunity to choose not to return to capitalism and its failures. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, the number of coronavirus cases being reported worldwide remains significant. For example, in the 24 hours between July 9 and 10, over 200,000 new cases and 5,575 deaths were reported globally with [...]

By Guest Post on Jul 29, 2020 10:00 am

“Just how twisted is the Senate GOP coronavirus bill you ask? It includes $686 million for new F-35 fighter jets.” (By: Jake Johnson, Common Dreams) In a floor speech late Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell described the GOP’s newly released coronavirus stimulus package as a “carefully tailored” plan to provide financial relief to desperate Americans.

By Alexis Chapman on Jul 29, 2020 08:00 am
[link removed]
Three weeks away from the Democratic National Convention (DNC) a group of delegates are poised to withhold support for Biden as the presidential nominee unless the party changes the platform to include Medicare for All at the DNC. On July 27 Democratic leaders took a big step in finalizing the Party’s 2020 platform, meeting remotely [...]

“It is unconscionable for the Trump administration to circumvent the rulings of a federal court in order to once again thrust into uncertainty the families and communities who rely on DACA to stay together and for protection from unjust deportations.” The Trump administration announced it will close the door on new DACA applicants and limit [...]

** Not the ‘Heals Act’ But the ‘Heels Act’: GOP Covid-19 Plan Puts Corporate Greed Before Human Need ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Thom Hartmann on Jul 29, 2020 06:00 am
[link removed]
What if we ignored corporations and their billionaire CEOs and owners altogether, gave them nothing, and instead directed all our efforts to providing unemployment and other benefits to individual human beings? (Common Dreams) It should be called the HEELS Act, not the HEALS Act. Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Republicans’ price for supporting unemployment [...]

------------------------------------------------------------
By Peter Castagno on Jul 28, 2020 04:30 pm
[link removed]
Yemen is being devastated by brutal war and COVID. They do NOT need an oil spill poisoning their coasts on top of everything else. A degenerating Yemeni oil tanker sitting miles off the coast of the war-town country could spark an environmental catastrophe four times worse than the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster, the United Nations [...]

** The Insanity of Prescription Drug Prices in America ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Dean Baker and Gerald Scorse on Jul 28, 2020 12:30 pm
[link removed]
Solution: slash the prices and kill the ads. (Common Dreams) Prescription drugs have long provided two bad examples of American exceptionalism. They cost three-to-four times more than anywhere else, and we’re one of only two countries in the world that allows prescription drug advertising to consumers. Far better to be like everybody else. Americans deserve drug prices in [...]
