What Facebook Still Needs To Do About The 2020 Elections - By Michael Posner
"Instead of this half measure, Facebook should immediately decline to post deliberately false ads whenever political candidates and their supporters, whether Democrats or Republicans, seek to place them on the platform. Similarly, when people post holocaust denial content, as they still do, Facebook should take it down. And Zuckerberg should stop asserting that he allows deliberately false political content on the site because he believes in free speech. This absolutist constraint is at the root of many of the challenges they face and leaves the company with little room to maneuver effectively without contradicting itself."

Bargain with Feelings – By Julianna Pillemer
"Negotiations are often a very emotional matter. Sometimes the feelings overflow. In 2011, the sale of a three million dollar brownstone building in New York's Greenwich Village district threatened to fail due to an old washing machine. The sellers had removed the device from the house two days before the contract was signed. Stephen Raphael, the lawyer for the owners, said in an article in the 'New York Times' that the buyers had been annoyed before: 'They had to improve their offer and accept many disadvantages. The washing machine broke the barrel.'"

Is the Almighty Dollar Slipping? - By Nouriel Roubini
"The recent sharp depreciation of the US dollar has led to concerns that it may lose its role as the main global reserve currency. After all, in addition to the US Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary easing – which threatens to debase the world’s key fiat currency even further – gold prices and inflation expectations have also been rising."

How Facebook Fails To Fight QAnon - By Michael Posner
"Last week, Marjorie Taylor Green easily won a Republican Congressional primary in Georgia and is likely to be elected in November to represent Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. Green is a deeply divisive candidate, who has delivered a steady stream of inflammatory attacks on Muslims, immigrants, African Americans, and Jews. She also is an avid supporter of QAnon, which occupies a dark corner of the internet, and whose followers believe that there is a worldwide network of Satan-worshiping pedophiles who control politicians and the media. With over a dozen Congressional candidates expressing support for QAnon, its growing collection of misguided and often hateful content poses an emerging threat to our democracy. Its explosive growth also underscores the inadequacy of Facebook’s efforts to address this type of political disinformation."

If You Like Lockdowns, You’ll Love the Carbon-Free Future - By Paul Tice
"The climate-change movement is taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic, equating it with the “existential crisis” of man-made global warming. While praising the current display of unilateral government action as a model for addressing climate change, many environmentalists and liberal politicians have also called for a surge in government spending on renewable energy projects. The 2020 Democratic Party platform champions “decarbonization” as the best way to “build back better” from the coronavirus."
