New beginnings group home

The group biography has been around for centuries: There was Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans , written some 1,900 years ago and a staple of classical education ever since; the Bishop Gregory of Tours’ sixth-century biography of the four distasteful sons of the Frankish King Clovis I; a swarm of medieval hagiographies that bind together the lives and miracles of saints. In addition to being foundational to the biographical genre, modern group biographies are excellent sources of historical trivia, ideas, and, happily, gossip. The questions that make these biographies sing—what makes this group of people actually interesting, not just noteworthy? Why, of all the relationships in a life, were these so particularly influential?—take real searching to answer. To read a good group biography is to come out with a different level of appreciation for the ways, trivial and tremendous, that humans influence one another. The canon is overwhelmingly white and Eurocentric, … [Read more...] about Nine Books About Groups That Changed the World

We blew it. That is the queasy feeling I have as I watch borrowing costs surge, housing starts fall, and politicians rush to subsidize fossil-fuel consumption. Americans had a decade-plus in which interest rates were low and millions of workers were unemployed or underemployed. We could have made investments that would have benefited all of us. And we wasted that chance. This period of unusually low interest rates , which lasted from the 2008 global financial crisis until now, was horrible in many ways. Too many people were unemployed for too long, and too many found themselves trapped in dead-end, no-security jobs while the cost of living climbed to astronomical levels. But it was an opportunity too. Borrowing was cheap, and the government  could have built and built and built without crowding out private investment or overheating the economy. Instead, we slogged through the recovery from the Great Recession, needing more fiscal stimulus that never arrived. We wasted $2 … [Read more...] about America Wasted Its Chance to Push the Economy Forward

Germany is aiming to found a global “climate club” taxation scheme designed to force countries worldwide to adopt a hardcore green agenda. Seemingly unhappy with just destroying its own economy, eco-crazy Germany is now reportedly aiming to found a so-called “climate club”, a group that would punish countries not perceived as green enough. The country is pushing this next element of its climate Great Reset agenda despite the fact that it is already facing economic collapse, a situation which is due in part to its obsession with its own green agenda. According to a report by public broadcaster Deutsche Welle, the German government will push for the genesis of the “climate club” at the latest meeting of the G7 in Bavaria, Germany, seemingly in the hopes of onboarding some of the other member countries into the new scheme. The plan was originally the brainchild of eco-zealot American Professor William Nordhaus of Yale University, who has argued that the voluntary nature of … [Read more...] about Great Reset: Germany Pushes ‘Climate Club’ Global Tax Scheme at G7

On Friday, June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States delivered its decision in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. The court had voted — narrowly, 5-4 — to legalize gay marriage nationwide. At the time, it felt as though the court had offered a gift to San Francisco, which that same weekend was celebrating Pride. Seven years later, almost to the day, the Supreme Court once again set the tone and tenor for Pride Weekend, ruling on Friday that there is no constitutional right to abortion, stripping millions of women of a bodily autonomy they had known for nearly half a century. On Friday morning, San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, whose district includes the Castro, came to the steps of City Hall for a special LGBTQ+ Pride Marriage Celebration. Couples had been invited to celebrate their nuptials before a rainbow balloon altar. A photo booth had been set up, too, full of silly costume props. The undertone, though, was one of mixed emotions. “The fact that we’re … [Read more...] about ‘Pride started with a protest’: Abortion ruling reminds LGBTQ people why they march in S.F.
