I’m a geologist with 9 years or so of experience working on some planetary engineering scaled climate change solutions within a 50+ year working life. As a technology analyst I enjoy working on solutions to complex problems. I support democratic capitalism and reject hustle culture. A compendium of my more recent open source works are available for download on Archive.org.

The Senate will vote shortly on a bill to prevent birth control from being banned. Republicans previously blocked attempts at this and may do so again.

If you'd told me 60 years ago that we'd be debating whether birth control should be legal in 2024, I wouldn't have believed it.

Justice Samuel Alito flew not one, but two pro-insurrection flags at his homes.

Alito not being forced to recuse from Trump's immunity case and upcoming Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the SCOTUS code of "ethics" established last year.

Hint: It's a sham.

Just an observation:

Ethics may just be too “fuzzy” for the SCOTUS to grasp. It sure seems that way.

They might grasp this:

A strict individual term limit applied upon confirmation with a senate simple majority no confidence and removal vote clause built in could work to keep them better bounded. All current justices to be reconfirmed upon initial adoption. It may take a constitutional amendment to make it happen I would think.

Just a thought… Maybe someone else will have a much better and constructive idea which would be welcome.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

  1. Break up corporate monopolies

  2. Continue building union power

  3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

I couldn’t agree more. This would change the face of America in a very positive way for us all. More than almost anything else I would think.
