Well, dear readers, I have been moved to update this blog today with another 400 pages of links to the news covering the last six months.  They appear in the categories listed below, including Veterans, Criminal Justice and Racism and Ageism and other discrimination, Economics and Coronavirus, Economics and Corruption and Healthcare and Education, Ecology and Pollution and Climate Change, Politics and Coronavirus, Politics, Terrorism, Military, and General and Miscellaneous. 

 

Regarding the coronavirus pandemic, in the past six months there have been 111 million new cases in the world, 2.1 million new deaths in the world, 22 million new cases in the U.S.A., 348 thousand new deaths in the U.S.A., 913 thousand new cases in Pennsylvania, 17.5 thousand new deaths in Pennsylvania, 94.7 thousand new cases in Philadelphia, and 1.7 thousand new deaths in Philadelphia.  The cumulative totals for each of these categories since the beginning of the pandemic are now as follows: 167,603,151; 3,480,015; 33,896,752; 604,089; 1,200,202; 27,147; 151,949; and 3,637.

 

We must continue to resist tyranny, fascism, authoritarianism, racism, sexism, misogyny, etc.  The three impurities of life are avarice, anger, and ignorance.  What others need from us is respect, kindness, and love.  The more respect, kindness, and love that we give to others, the more respect, kindness, and love that comes into our lives and the better we feel about ourselves.
