D.C. Homelessness Doubles National Average as Living Costs Soar

Record housing prices are cited as one cause leaving students and working class people with no where to turn but an overburdened shelter system.

Being poor in D.C. is not a good plan.

There are few poor downtown.

What U.S. Tech Giants Face in Europe in 2017

Many of Silicon Valley’s largest companies face a growing list of regulatory challenges — and potentially large fines — in Europe this coming year.

Video Blogger Who Tested Singapore’s Limits Seeks U.S. Asylum

Amos Yee, 18, who is now being held in Illinois, was jailed twice in Singapore for videos critical of Islam and Christianity.

In Year of Anti-Muslim Vitriol, Brands Promote Inclusion

A slew of major American companies prominently featured everyday Muslim men, women and children in their marketing last year.

It won't hurt.

The Upshot

Could ‘Repeal and Delay’ of Obamacare Affect the Birthrate?

One possibility: Some women might put off getting pregnant as long as there’s a chance that they could lose their insurance.

I will be very surprised if there is a replacement plan.  There is no other plan that could pass congress. 

Insist that a workable program is in place before there is any repeal.

When One Party Has the Governor’s Mansion and the Other Has the Statehouse

Governors stymied by hostile lawmakers still have ways to advance their priorities.

The Ad That Moved People the Most: Bernie Sanders’s ‘America’

Yes.

What Happened When Venezuela Outlawed Its Own Currency

In mid-December, the Venezuelan government surprised its citizens by withdrawing from circulation the 100-bolívar note, its largest and most used bill, with only 72 hours’ warning. Here’s what happened next.

Hyperinflation.   Really high taxes.

A Year That Can Never Be Taken From Cleveland

With an N.B.A. title for the Cavaliers and the Indians falling just short in the World Series, forgive a city that once lost the Browns and LeBron James for feeling buoyant.

China Deploys Aircraft Carrier to Disputed South China Sea

The decision to deploy the carrier to contested waters was seen by some as a challenge to President-elect Donald J. Trump’s criticism of China and to American military dominance in the Pacific.

More rattling sabers.

Both crew members died when an Army National Guard helicopter crashed in Texas on Wednesday during a routine training mission.

No further reporting.
The wreck is inverted in the water.

Opinion

Can Donald Trump Hire Ivanka Trump?

The president-elect seems intent on flouting anti-nepotism rules.

Probably.  Others will not like it.
That has not stopped Donald Trump.

I do not want Pence or Ryan in the executive office.
