House
To Vote On Controversial ‘No More National Parks’ Policy - Responding
to President Obama’s decision last week to protect a stretch of
California’s Coast near Point Arena as a new national monument, the
House of Representatives is planning to vote next week to overturn a 108
year-old law that presidents of both parties have used to protect

Liberty, and Arches National Park.

The U.S. Cities With the Highest Levels of Income Segregation - Richard Florida, The Atlantic:
Debates in the U.S. over income inequality have taken center stage in recent years, but its existence in our cities is of long standing. Major metro areas have been magnets for both the rich and the poor since ancient times; in fact they owe a great deal of their dynamism to their economic and social diversity. But growing economic segregation—the increasing tendency of affluent people to live in neighborhoods where almost everyone else is affluent, and poor people to live in neighborhoods where almost everyone else is poor—may be a more insidious problem. The emergence of a new urban geography of concentrated wealth and advantage juxtaposed to endemic poverty and concentrated disadvantage poses troubling implications for the economic mobility of people and the economic health of cities.

Just as lower-skill, higher-pay manufacturing jobs have dropped out of
the labor market, and work in America has bifurcated into high-skill,
high-paying professional and knowledge occupations and much
lower-paying, low-skill service jobs in fields like food service and
retail trade, America’s once middle-class neighborhoods have also begun
to disappear.

We
REALLY need some food rights in Canada. Even the US, who has Monsanto
running the FDA has more rights. GMO is hurting people, we need to know
where these biotech atrocities are so we can source clean, safe,
pain-free food.
