    Financial Crisis With Few Prosecutions
    Several years after the financial crisis, no senior executives of major financial institutions have been charged, and a collective government effort has not emerged.
    It is very hard to shoot the paymaster.

    Is Sugar Toxic?
    That it makes us fat is something we take for granted. That it might also be making us sick is harder to accept.
    It is toxic. Honey is not.  Corn syrup, Karo may not be.

      Asia-Pacific Governments Play Catch-Up on Minimum Wages
      “Malaysia could soon join a growing list of Asia-Pacific countries, including China, Indonesia, Mongolia, Vietnam, and Cambodia, that in the last decade have introduced a form of minimum wage.” 
      It does not work well but it is more protection than we had.

    The War Behind the Abortion War
    Abortion is controversial. Contraception isn’t. Or at least it shouldn’t be.
    The Roman Church has fought this battle.  They will not give it up.  They do not fight alone.

      A Malpractice Bill Raises Issues About a Lawsuit
      “A Malpractice Bill Raises Issues About a Lawsuit - http://nyti.ms/epCcat” 
      This is really a complaint about the insurance business.  The way to fix nuisance complaints is to fight them and win.  Real damage should bring real penalties.  Education is horribly expensive.

      Hamas, the I.R.A. and Us
      Both the Irish and Middle Eastern conflicts figure prominently in American domestic politics — yet both have played out in very different ways.  Our country sheltered the I.R.A. for near 150 years.
      We have not done that for Hamas.

      Wine Divorced From Food: The Pour
      “31% of millenials drink wine without food. Good news for i vini da meditazione! See The Pour - http://nyti.ms/hR6quD” 
      Fructose . . .  Diabetic candy is sweetened with it.
      The drunks I used to encounter down town had well developed palets
      and would buy the best stuff they could.  The sellers always had good stuff at modest prices.  The cheapest was just that.  I learned to avoid it.  Rotgut is not worth the price no matter how low.

    Business has an image problem.  Gut courses are not a respectable major.

      Flood the area with it.  Give it free to children at the school doors. in refugee camps it should be passed to all children of seven or more on demand.  Put so many on the ground that it has no trade value and so will not be stolen or sold.  Let us have an end to ignorance, the worst plague invented by people.

      “Authors Sign eBooks Electronically - http://nyti.ms/g7QaiG Everything's changing - even booksignings ” 
      There is no other way to sign an ebook.   The  purpose of a book signing beyond some magic blessing escapes me.

      Legislators have no memory.  Such laws are plainly unconstitutional.

      Obama Making Plans to Use Executive Power
      WASHINGTON — With much of his legislative agenda stalled in Congress, President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.
      His advisors did not do the job.  He has had to think.
