Bielat Santore & Company Sells Simko's in Neptune, New Jersey
TORNADO OR NO TORNADO – SIMKO'S SELLS
NEPTUNE: On March 28th, two days after owner Mike Simko signed a contract to sell his restaurant located at 1311 Highway 35, Neptune, Monmouth County, New Jersey, "straight-line winds" of around 70 mph ripped through his neighborhood leaving scattered debris, downed utility poles and wires, and damaged vehicles in its wake. The fast-moving storm caused some destruction to Simko's restaurant but did not blow away his deal.
According to Richard Santore of Bielat Santore & Company, Allenhurst, New Jersey, the broker for the sale, the real estate at 1311 Highway 35, Neptune has been sold to a real estate investor and the restaurant business itself sold to an independent restaurant operator. Mike Simko has spent most of his adult life in the restaurant business. Originally at Simko's in Sayreville, New Jersey; he also had restaurants in Brick and Brielle. When he sold his Brielle location in 2018, Mike purchased the Neptune location which was previously occupied by Yvonne's and prior to, Jack's Rib and Ale House.
Completed renovated in 2018, Simko's Grill, Neptune is considered by many to be one of the best values in a restaurant on the Jersey Shore. It is easily accessible off Route 35 at the
Belmar/Neptune border. The 32-stool bar features 14 TV's offering patrons the opportunity to watch all their favorite sporting events. The two dining rooms accommodate another 150 quests and there is an outdoor bar and deck with room for 80. Business was steadily building in 2018 and 2019; then like every other restaurant, the coronavirus pandemic abruptly put an end to all business in March of 2020.
"This transaction was bifurcated; one buyer for the real estate and one buyer for the business," continues Santore of Bielat Santore & Company. The real estate purchaser is a private Real Estate Development and Investment Company, investing in both improved real estate and land development opportunities to create and capture value. The company has holdings in New Jersey, Georgia, Virginia and Florida. The restaurant business was purchased by an experienced operator who has been working throughout Monmouth County, employed in various positions and roles within the industry. Although separate transactions, the closings took place simultaneously. The restaurant will remain open as Simko's, six days a week (closed Mondays) throughout the summer and fall, with consideration given to a name and concept change, together with minor cosmetic renovations in the winter.

The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. At 3.8 million square miles (9.842 million km2) and with over 320 million people, the country is the world's third or fourth-largest by total area and the third most populous. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries.

The United States of America is a federal republic consisting of 50 states, a federal district (where the nation's seat of government–Washington, D.C.–is located), five major territories, and various possessions. The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwestern part of North America (also bordering Canada) and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
States are the primary subdivisions of the United States, and possess a number of powers and rights under the United States Constitution, such as regulating intrastate commerce, running elections, creating local governments, and ratifying constitutional amendments. Each state has its own constitution, grounded in republican principles, and government, consisting of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. All states and their residents are represented in the federal Congress, a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state is represented by two Senators, while Representatives are distributed among the states in proportion to the most recent constitutionally mandated decennial census. Additionally, each state is entitled to select a number of electors to vote in the Electoral College, the body that elects the President of the United States, equal to the total of Representatives and Senators in Congress from that state.Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution grants to Congress the authority to admit new states into the Union. Since the establishment of the United States in 1776, the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to 50. Each new state has been admitted on an equal footing with the existing states.

SS United States is a luxury passenger liner built in 1952 for United States Lines designed to capture the trans-Atlantic speed record.
Built at a cost of $79.4 million ($724 million in today's dollars) the ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the U.S. and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction. Even in her retirement, she retains the Blue Riband, the accolade given to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular service with the highest speed.
Her construction was subsidized by the U.S. government, since she was designed to allow conversion to a troopship should the need arise.United States operated uninterrupted in transatlantic passenger service until 1969. Since 1996 she has been docked at Pier 82 on the Delaware River in Philadelphia.
Inspired by the exemplary service of the British liners RMS Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, which transported hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to Europe during World War II, the U.S. government sponsored the construction of a large and fast merchant vessel that would be capable of transporting large numbers of soldiers. Designed by renowned American naval architect and marine engineer William Francis Gibbs (1886–1967), the liner's construction was a joint effort between the United States Navy and United States Lines. The U.S. government underwrote $50 million of the $78 million construction cost, with the ship's operators, United States Lines, contributing the remaining $28 million. In exchange, the ship was designed to be easily converted in times of war to a troopship with a capacity of 15,000 troops, or to a hospital ship .

The Southern Victory Series is a fan name given to a series of Harry Turtledove alternate history novels.
The Southern Victory Series includes the novel How Few Remain, and the Great War, American Empire, and Settling Accounts series. They detail events in four major eras between 1862 and 1945.
A brief synopsis
An alternate name of the series, Timeline-191, is taken from Robert E. Lee's Special Order 191, detailing the Army of Northern Virginia's invasion of the Union on September 10, 1862 during the American Civil War. In reality the orders were lost and recovered by a Union soldier, allowing General George B. McClellan to surprise Lee and force the Battle of Antietam. In this fictional timeline, Lee defeated the Army of the Potomac in a comprehensive victory outside of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, and then occupied Philadelphia.
In 1881, after the Confederacy purchased the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora, President James G. Blaine of the United States declared war. With the help of British and French forces, the Confederate States again defeat the United States in the Second Mexican War, forcing the latter to cede a portion of northern Maine to the Canadian province of New Brunswick. After this defeat, the United States turned to Germany for military assistance and training, and the national mood of the U.S. changed to desire of revenge against the enemies that surrounded the U.S.—Canada, from where Britain invaded the U.S., and the Confederacy.

There's no regret
'Cause there's no place
But if I feel safe
What will they do
What will they do to me
Dulcet tongues
Whisper fast
The future yearns
Right now's the past
Rouse me soon
The end draws nigh
Who's side are you on
Your blood you cannot buy
What will they do to you
Well I
I feel alright
So tonight
I got to ask you why
Why deny it
It's no surprise
I've got to survive
Freedom shines the light ahead
I'll lead the last charge to bed
I said my last rights
I don't have to run scared no more
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
At the light
Do you wanna watch me die
Let me be something good
Let me prove something real like I should
Let me embrace every single living thing

Example Question #1 : Microeconomics Graphs
The demand for oranges at point D is:
Inelastic
Perfectly inelastic
Unit elastic
Perfectly elastic
For a demand curve, the upper left portion is elastic, the middle portion is unit elastic and the lower right portion is inelastic. You can confirm by calculating E = percent change in quantity/ percent change in price between the points on the lower right portion of the demand curve. If E < 1, then demand is inelastic.
Example Question #1 : Side By Side Graphs
Suppose a consumer finds that her total expenditure on good X increases after her income decreases. Which of the following is true?
The income elasticity of good X for the consumer is 1.
Good X is a luxury good for the consumer.
Good X is an inferior good for the consumer.
Good X is a normal good for the consumer.
When a consumer buys less of a product after a rise in income, the good is said to be an "inferior good." (Consider, for example ramen noodles--for most consumers, when income rises, they purchase fewer ramen noodles).
Another way to think about inferior goods it that the income elasticity is negative. The formula for income elasticity is change in quantity demanded divided by change in income. In the scenario in question, income rose (so the denominator, change in income, is positive), and the quantity demanded fell (so the numerator, change in quantity demanded, is negative). Thus, the income elasticity would be negative, making good X an inferior good.
Good X is not a normal good, because for normal goods, income elasticity is between 0 and 1 (not negative).
Good X is not a luxury good, because for luxury goods, income elasticity is greater than 1 (not negative).
The income elasticity of good X for the consumer is not 1, because we know from the explanation above that income elasticity for good X must be negative.
Assume that a consumer is willing and able to pay $5 for a latte and that the price of the latte is $3. Which of the following is equal to the consumer surplus?
Consumer surplus is calculated as the amount a buyer is willing and able to pay for a good or service minus the actual cost of the good or service. Thus, if the consumer is willing and able to pay $5, but the good costs only $3, consumer surplus is $5 - $3 = $2.
Suppose that as result of a 10% increase in income, the quantity demanded of Good X increases by 20%. Which of the following is true?
The income elasticity of demand for Good X is less than 0.
The income elasticity of demand for Good X is greater than 1.
The income elasticity of demand for Good X is between 0 and 1.
Good X is an inferior good.
The income elasticity of demand for Good X is equal to 1.
Remember that incomce elasticity of demand refers to the percent change in the quantity demanded of a good divided by the percent change in income. Since the percent change in the quantity demanded of Good X was 20% and the percent change in income was 10%, the income elasticity of demand for Good X is 20%/10% = 2. Thus, the income elasticity of demand for Good X is greater than 1.
Good X would be classified as an inferior good only if it had income elasticity of demand less than 0.
Which of the following statements describes price discrimination?
The price of a particular product is less than the marginal cost of producing that product.
The price of the same product is the same for different consumers.
The price of two different products are different for different consumers.
The price of two different products are the same for different consumers.
The price of the same product is different for different consumers.
Price discrimination occurs when a firm sets two different price levels for different consumers buying the same product. For example, a firm may sell a particular pharmaceutical drug for one price in the US and another price in Europe.
Answer choice "The price of a particular product is less than the marginal cost of producing that product" refers to the rare situation in which a firm sells a good for less than it costs to make it. This may happen in the case of promotions, but is not an example of price discrimination.
The other answer choices represent distortions of the definition of price discrimination and are therefore incorrect.
Example Question #1 : Ap Microeconomics
Which of the following is true of the relationship between the demand curve and the marginal revenue curve in a monopolistic structure?
The demand curve is always greater than the marginal revenue curve.
The marginal revenue curve decreases while the demand curve increases.
The demand curve is always less than or equal to the marginal revenue curve.
The demand curve is always equal to the marginal revenue curve.
The demand curve is always greater than or equal to the marginal revenue curve.
A monopolist faces a downward sloping demand curve, indicating market power, in contrast to the horizontal demand curve faced by perfectly competitive firms. A monopolist faces a downward sloping marginal revenue curve as well.
The monopolist's marginal revenue curve has the same y-intercept (intercept on the price-axis) as the demand curve, but has a steeper slope. Therefore, the demand curve is always equal to (at the intercept) or greater than (everywhere after the intercept) the marginal revenue curve. Answer choice "The demand curve is always greater than or equal to the marginal revenue curve" is correct.
The other answer choices are distortions of this relationship.
For a monopolist, marginal cost is equivalent to which of the following?
Average fixed cost
Industry supply
Marginal revenue
Average total cost
Because a monopolist is the only producer in its industry, a monopolist's marginal cost curve is equivalent to the industry supply curve.
Average fixed cost and marginal revenue are incorrect because they are downward sloping, whereas supply is upward sloping.
Average total cost is a distortion of the correct answer.
Example Question #1 : Output
Suppose a diseconomy of scale exists for a particular firm. If the firm doubles its output, then ___________.
its long-run average cost will exactly double
its short-run average cost will exactly double
its long-run average cost will more than double
its long-run average cost will less than double
its short-run average cost will more than double
Diseconomies of scale (and economies of scale) refer to the relationship between a firm's output and its long-run average cost. If a firm is operating under a diseconomy of scale, then doubling its output results in more than doubling its long-run average total cost.
Answer choice "its long-run average cost will exactly double" refers to the situation in which the firm is operating at its minimum efficient scale, the lowest point on the long-run average cost curve.
Answer choice "its long-run average cost will less than double" refer to situations in which the firm has an economy of scale.
Answer choices "its short-run average cost will more than double" and "its short-run average cost will exactly double" are incorrect because diseconomies of scale refer to long-run, not short-run, cost curves.
In order to maximize profits, a firm should continue to produce output until which of the following conditions is met?
Total revenue is greater than total cost
Total cost is equal to total revenue
Marginal revenue is greater than marginal cost
Marginal revenue equals marginal cost
Total revenue is equal to marginal revenue
The profit-maximizing rule for firms is to continue producing until marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
Answer choice "Marginal Revenue is greater than marginal cost" is incorrect, because firms should continue producing under this condition.
All of the other answer choices involving either total revenue or total cost are incorrect because profit-maximization occurs "at the margin", i.e. the profit-maximization rule applies to marginal, not total, cost curves.
When marginal cost is greater than average total cost, which of the following must be true?
Average total cost must be decreasing.
Marginal revenue must be increasing.
Average total cost must be increasing.
Marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost.
Total revenue must be constant.
We can think of marginal revenue as our grade in a class we are currently taking and average total cost as our total GPA. If we get a better grade in our current class than our GPA, then our GPA must increase. Similarly, if marginal cost is greater than average total cost, then average total cost must be increasing. Answer choice "average total cost must be increasing" is correct.
To eliminate the other answer choices, remember that when marginal cost is greater than average total cost, 1) marginal revenue can still be decreasing, 2) marginal revenue is not necessarily equal to marginal cost, and 3) total revenue can still be changing.

Is Secondhand Screen Time the New Secondhand Smoking? - 01/23/2020 - Yves Smith
Posted on April 15, 2016 by Lambert Strether
By Lambert Strether of Corrente.
Tax Day. "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society." — Oliver Wendell Holmes. So how's that working out for us?
TPP/TTiP/TISA
CETA: "Romania will veto the EU-Canada trade deal" [Euractive] and "Belgium's Wallonia Vetoes EU-Canada Free Trade Deal" [Sputnik]. So, you see these bills can be defeated. Let's hope this is a harbinger.
CETA: "CETA, TTIP and ISDS: Lessons from Canada" [Euractiv]. Video (please share):
"It's not just that the business model of Wall Street is fraud, as Senator Sanders is prone to say, it's that fraud is now incentivized openly on Wall Street by the Board of Directors of the country's largest banks" [Wall Street on Parade]. "No caring American or engaged citizen should view this election casually."
"According to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers — who is emerging as a key economic advisor to Hillary Clinton — the big political challenge in addressing economic inequality is not to embrace "a politics of envy'" [Richard Kirsch, HuffPo]. Larry Summers. Help me. (For the record, I'm not envious of Summers: I'd hate to be a sexist blowhard who lost two billion for Harvard's endowment. How would I sleep at night, let alone face my peers? And I'm not envious of squillionaires, either. I just want some basic level of dignity. Why is that so hard for to understand?)
"'It's time for the United States to start thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity," [Clinton said in a 2011 speech" [David Sirota, International Business Times].
"Clinton, they say, does not see the Libya intervention as a failure, but as a work in progress" [Foreign Policy]. Does that mean Libya is a business oppportunity now?
The Voters
Washington Square rally: "[T]he core of Sanders's message is exactly the same as it was last April, when he announced that he was running: that the American political and economic systems are hopelessly broken, that it will take a 'political revolution' to make things right, and that this redemptive outcome is achievable. 'Despite what others may tell you, yes, we can change the status quo,' Sanders declared" [The New Yorker].
"Sanders's big and rambunctious rally in Manhattan's Washington Square Park on Wednesday night underscored how disenchanted many of his supporters and surrogates are with Clinton and what her campaign represents to them. Before Sanders took the stage, speaker after speaker described it as the epitome of establishment politics, small-bore ambitions and ties to the moneyed forces of the Democratic Party" [WaPo]. The article is about the debate, but I think this is the key point: A split between liberals (Clinton) and the left (Sanders) — with all the demographic changes Democrats have been counting on to revivify their party with the left. I'm not unaware of the "sheepdog" critique of the Sanders candidacy, but in the same way that the dogs won't eat the dogfood, the sheep might not follow the sheepdog. The future lies ahead!
Sanders stump speech: "And as he does in every stump speech now, he followed that with an invocation of the civil-rights movement, 'when brave people stood up together and decided to fight back against hundreds of years of racism.' Then he moved on to 'the feminist movement, when millions of women stood up together,' adding, as he always does, 'and I know every man in this room is going to stand with the women in their fight for pay equity.' Then, when the cheers died down, he reminded the crowd of the victories achieved by 'the gay rights movement, who stood up, with their straight allies, to demand the right for people to love one another regardless of gender.' [The Nation]. "On paper this may sound like mere genuflection, or virtue-signaling. But in the room it felt more like a revival—of a peculiarly, determinedly secular kind perhaps, but with the same mobilizing effect on its audience as any tent meeting. It made visible their own power—in this case the power to change, not themselves but society." And speaking of revival: The Great Awakening began in upstate New York.
"A growing plurality of democratic voters wants a true progressive agenda. If Clinton and party insiders ignore this reality, such voters will begin to look elsewhere. They will not view themselves as having left the Party. The Party will have left them" [Salon].
"We Asked 4 Prominent Bernie Supporters if They'd Vote for Hillary in November. Here's What They Told Us" [The Nation]. Doug Henwood, Rania Khalek, Kathleen Geier and Joshua Holland.
Readers, I really couldn't find coverage of the Democratic debates I was happy with; in fact, the open thread right here was perhaps the best thing out there (though Kos wasn't that bad). What matters, of course, is what voters think of the debates; and we have no data on that point, and probably will not, given that election day is just five days off. Politically wired people may say that "Sanders can't land a punch," or "Hillary cleaned his clock" (I've seen both) but humans are mysterious. I'd love to know what the internal polling shows; neither campaign is crowing about victory. One thing is clear: Sanders will take big risks for policies he believes in, as he showed in his discussion of Israel. Clinton takes a different sort of risk: By adopting Sanders' position on the $15 minimum wage — I mean, ZOMG; the parsing! — she's risking that people won't check the record. Checking the record was hard in 1992. Today, there's Google. And Internet memes.
"The Democratic Debate: A Surprising Exchange on Israel" [The New Yorker].
On Wall Street and corruption [The Hill].
Sanders pointed to six-figure speeches Clinton gave to Goldman Sachs in 2013 and political donations from Wall Street to argue she can't be trusted to crack down on banks. Clinton claimed she's been calling out "the bad behaviors of Wall Street" since the time she represented much of the sector as a senator from New York.
"Secretary Clinton called them out," countered Sanders. "Oh my gosh, they must have been really crushed by this. Was that before or after you received huge sums of money by giving speaking engagements?"
I've gotta say, that looks like a hard punch to me…
Some numbers:
Who dominated the latest #DemDebate? Here's a closer look, by the numbers https://t.co/sMT3iCjG5I pic.twitter.com/efE2kzHSGO
— Bloomberg Politics (@bpolitics) April 15, 2016
"Vote Now: Who Won the Ninth Democratic Debate?" [Times]. Of course, Internet polls…
McClatchy, Salon, Politico, Guardian, CBS, CNN, Gawker. See if you can find any gems in here…
"The new Gilded Age: Close to half of all super PAC money comes from 50 donors" [WaPo]. Judging by both action and ideology, this is a condition that the Democratic Establishment would prefer to continue.
"Democratic donors see Republican donors giving huge, seven-figure checks to causes and efforts on the Republican side of the aisle, and our donors don't want to be silenced," said Alixandria Lapp, executive director of the House Majority PAC, a Democratic group that has raised $10 million.
"Silenced." Notice that Democrats accept that money is speech, and people with more money should have more speech? Idea: Democratic donors give their candidate of choice $27, and STFU.
"Verizon paid Hillary $225,000 for speech and poured money into Clinton Foundation. Executives give to her campaign" [Salon]. "Moreover, the Clinton Foundation has partnered directly with Verizon, which is notorious for its vehement opposition to unions. The corporation is a partner in the Clinton Health Matters Initiative, and said it is 'proud to partner with the Clinton Foundation.'"
Jeff Weaver: "'I think that their campaign never believed that they would be in the position they're in right now, having to contest New York. I mean, they clearly thought that they would have everything wrapped up by now. They clearly said it: 'We're going to have it wrapped up by February, we're going to have it wrapped up by March,'" Weaver said. "And it's not wrapped up, and I think they're very, very frustrated about it'" [Yahoo News]. And they keep trying to release the kraken. But the kraken won't release.
"Bernie Sanders Brings His Family on Trip to Vatican" [ABC].
"How has the 'system' been working out for you and your family?" [Donald Trump, Wall Street Journal, "Let Me Ask America a Question"]. That's a good question.
"Trump's Odds of Winning Way Better than Nate Silver Believes" [MishTalk]. Battle of the polling titans!
Stats Watch
Industrial Production, March 2016: "Regional reports have been signaling emerging strength for the factory sector which helps ease the sting from a second straight 0.6 percent contraction for industrial production, the latest report for March" [Econoday]. "The manufacturing component, pulled down by a 1.6 percent decline in vehicle production, fell 0.3 percent following, after a downward revision, a 0.1 percent decline in February. Weakness in vehicle production is no surprise given declines underway in vehicle sales." And: "The headlines say seasonally adjusted Industrial Production (IP) declined. The year-over-year data remains in contraction. It is hard to see a bright spot in this data" [Econintersect]. And: "Serious setback, worse than expected and last month revised down as well. Look for more Q1 GDP reductions [Mosler Economics].
Empire State Mfg Survey, April 2016: "After a deeply negative run from August to February, the Empire State report is showing real life. Today's index, which is the first factory indication on April, rose sharply to a higher-than-expected 9.56 level that is in solid expansion ground" [Econoday]. And: "As this index is very noisy, it is hard to understand what these massive moves up or down mean – however this regional manufacturing survey is normally one of the more pessimistic" [Econintersect].
Consumer Sentiment, April(p) 2016: " A week of mostly weak economic data ends on a drop for consumer sentiment, to a much lower-than-expected 89.7 for the flash April reading vs 91.0 for final March" [Econoday]. "Weakness is centered in the expectations component." And: "The general trend in the Michigan Sentiment Index since the Financial Crisis lows has been one of slow improvement.The survey findings since December 2015 have seen a gradual decline with January 2015 remaining the interim peak" [Econintersect].
Jobless Claims (from yesterday): "Lowest leve of new jobless claims ever on a per capita basis. Yet U6 unemployment remains near the highs of the prior recession. Leads me to suspect the reason for the low claims is they've become a lot harder to get, shutting off an automatic fiscal stabilizer" [Mosler Economics].
"OPEC Report Suggests Massive Oil Price Rebound" [OilPrice.com].
China: "The National Bureau of Statistics said in a press conference in Beijing on Friday that while main economic indicators showed positive changes, 'downward pressure cannot be underestimated'" [Futures]. "It did not distribute quarterly GDP figures as it has in the past, saying it needed more time to calculate the figure."
"Here is the thing about Uber and Lyft (and much of the 'sharing economy')'" [Ian Welsh (Furzy Mouse)]. "They don't pay the cost of their capital." The bezzle works, until it doesn't. It works a lot better with J-Yel's free money sloshing about.
"Moreover, among those who do plan to bid [on Yahoo], there has been widespread dissatisfaction with the auction process. 'It's been a f–king joke,' says one senior private equity executive whose firm expects to make an offer" [Fortune]. "For starters, most financial bidders were required to listen to a lengthy prerecorded management presentation before Yahoo management would answer questions over the phone." I confess to some schadenfreude when I think of the PE guys having to go through this…
"A series of broken transactions and stock-market volatility have shaken the confidence of some in the boardroom to tackle their next big acquisition" [Dealb%k, New York Times]. "The value of abandoned deals has been higher than that of newly signed deals in the United States so far this year." Shrinking the tapeworm…
Today's Fear & Greed Index: 72, Greed (previous close: 71, Greed) [CNN]. One week ago: 68 (Greed). (0 is Extreme Fear; 100 is Extreme Greed). Last updated Apr 15 at 11:32am. Boring week!

"[R]esearchers at the [UVa] School of Medicine have determined that the brain is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to exist" [UVAToday]. "'I really did not believe there were structures in the body that we were not aware of. I thought the body was mapped,' said Jonathan Kipnis, a professor in the Department of Neuroscience and director of the University's Center for Brain Immunology and Glia. How these vessels could have escaped detection when the lymphatic system has been so thoroughly mapped throughout the body is surprising on its own."
The Jackpot
"The insurance industry is a key actor in forging new instruments to anticipate and manage climate risks, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today, urging the industry to continue to work with the United Nations to manage and reduce such risks and ultimately ensure a more sustainable world for all" [UN News Centre].

"[M]erely being black in America triggers exposure to stressors linked to premature biological aging. Research indicates that blacks get sick at younger ages, have more severe illnesses and are aging, biologically, more rapidly than whites. Scientists call this the 'weathering effect,' or the result of cumulative stress" [US News]. Filing this under class because the "weathering effect" sounds like it has broad application.

The right wing called Hillary. They want their talking points back.
LifelongLib April 15, 2016 at 4:19 pm
Envy is when you have a yacht and I'm upset because I don't. When you have 3 yachts and I can't afford to go to the doctor, that's something else.
Chromex April 15, 2016 at 4:35 pm
Agreed.. and even more to the point, when it can be demonstrated that you set the rules of the game so you can have three yachts and I can't see a doctor and then call me envious when I object, the emotion that stirs in me is mislabled if it is called "envious". And the subtext of Summers label? If you rock the boat for any reason , you are "envious".
If Larry Summers,who has been wrong and a catastrophic failure nearly everywhere he went is now being floated by the Clinton campaign we know what we can look forward to. Tom Hayden, call your office. Third party or abstention is better.

Whatever did happen to the notion of exploitation? To not have it in our critical repertoire is a huge concession to the neoclassical ideological supports of neoliberalism. Arguing in favor of a good life for all has some swat, I grant you, but it does start to sound like all we have to argue from is the principle of charity/"humanity" and then use it to accuse the vampires and parasites of not being humane. I'm not saying we need to resurrect the labor theory of value, but do we have to concede the process of resource distribution as determined by the market to the bastards? Are we all Fabians now? If a skilled worker is paid 2 dollars an hour for assembling valuable motors for a highly profitable company, is the resulting inequality the only admissible grievance?
clinical wasteman April 16, 2016 at 2:00 am
Nail hit on head and driven straight through wall. That charity/humanity/inequality horizon is what makes the European left a laughingstock.
Only thing to be added: no need to 'revive' the labour theory of value because it's still practised everywhere under the name 'competitiveness'.
What we need to do is abolish the practice.
Lambert Strether Post author April 17, 2016 at 1:36 am
I agree. They call it exploitation because it's painful.

UnorthodoxMarxist April 15, 2016 at 2:19 pm
I'm a NYer (though a Green and not a Dem) but watched the debate last night with some interest. My interest was in how hard Sanders would hit Clinton, and on his debating style in general. Overall. I thought he refused at many points to go for the jugular. This is probably due to the inherent structural limitations of being a Democratic candidate, but imagine if Bernie had:
– openly repudiated the history of US militarism and called Hillary complicit in the murder of Berta Carceras and the overthrow of Honduras' democratically elected president
– Said far more forcefully she was a liar on the minimum wage and that her membership on the board of Wal-Mart should disqualify her from speaking about the American working class
And so on in that vein. I realize that doing so would require him to break with the sacred cows of ruling class politics in the United States, but there are killer blows that could be landed on Clinton. Bernie just didn't convince me he was able to do it with that performance
Bas April 15, 2016 at 3:40 pm
That regime-change strategy the U.S. has employed for so long is a huge can of worms to open that can't really be covered in a short answer forum. And I don't think a lot of people would understand that whole Walmart thing yet, that it's so dirty for her to be on the board. He does say things in speeches and on his site so people can look into them more fully. There's really SO much that's wrong on every subject with Hillary that my mind is boggled. I think Bernie does well, considering.

What we have chosen to do is run an issue-oriented campaign as to why for 30 years the middle class of this country has been disappearing, why we have massive levels of income and wealth inequality, why we are the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave, why health care to all our people. Those are the issues that we have been focusing on.
dots April 16, 2016 at 2:36 am
It's one of the things I appreciate the most about Mr. Sanders' campaign. He isn't a "win-at-any-cost" politician. Because of that and his ferocity staying on-message, he's managed to raise awareness of wealth inequality (read as Class Consciousness) in the US to a degree I hadn't thought possible eight years ago. By now, you'd basically have to be as obstinate as a climate-change denier not to know where he stands on most issues.
Bernie's a refreshing change. Kinda like eating a mango!

March temperature smashes 100-year global record
The global temperature in March has shattered a century-long record and by the greatest margin yet seen for any month.
February was far above the long-term average globally, driven largely by climate change, and was described by scientists as a "shocker" and signalling "a kind of climate emergency". But data released by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) shows that March was even hotter.
Compared to the 20th-century average, March was 1.07C hotter across the globe, according to the JMA figures, while February was 1.04C higher. The JMA measurements go back to 1891 and show that every one of the last 11 months has been the hottest ever recorded for that month.
It's almost as if there's a pattern or something.

How much does our current global trade paradigm magnify our CO2 emissions?
What is the true (energy consumption) cost of manufacturing a pair of Nikes in Indonesia and transporting/distributing them across the globe to consumers for corporate profits?
Do we have an accurate index of the cost of "global free trade" paradigms compared with domestic production of items?
Thinking of Bangladesh as a prime example. It's the second largest exporter of clothing with some of the most unsafe working conditions in the world. Bangladesh is ranked extremely-vulnerable to Climate Change, being both inadequately prepared and at increased-risk for extreme weather events. This isn't just a case of appealing to consumer/business altruism, but of getting us all divested from CO2 intensive paradigms.

There is a lot of criticism of Sanders failing to state exactly how Clinton's special interest funding influenced specific policy decisions she made. The prime example cited is what Sen. Warren told Bill Moyers concerning Hillary's flip-flop on the bankruptcy bill.
But since when has anyone had to give specific examples of undue influence when criticizing lobbyist and special interest money buying off politicians? The phrases, "bought and paid for," "pay to play," etc., have been around for decades. No one, other than the Supreme Court in Citizens United, seriously believes that money paid to politicians does not influence policy in favor of those donors. I bet if you asked people whether special interest money buys undue influence in D.C., 95% or more would agree–on both sides of the aisle–including the lobbyists.
I don't think Sanders linking specific policy decisions to Hillary taking huge speaking fees, foundation and campaign donations from special interests is going to convince any of her supporters to vote for Bernie. Hillary supporters have a gut feeling she is not corrupted by money, or is no worse than any of the really evil politicians, so they overlook the issue. And we know what happens to people who hold a particular viewpoint when they are presented with facts contradicting that viewpoint–they become even firmer in their position.
I think the tactic Sanders employed–sarcasm–is best. If anyone told you a politician could personally receive hundreds of millions from special interests and not be influenced by that money, you would just laugh. Then you would make sure you never voted for that candidate.
In the end, if you don't get it, it means you don't want to get it.
There's also the problem that "give me an example" demands one prove a negative.
A and B go into a black box.
A is holding a large bag of money.
A and B come out the black box.
B is holding a large bag of money.
B does nothing (including not "changing my vote" and so forth).
That's why two parties going into the black box with a bag of money has to be a baseline for what you don't do, because there's no way to prove what hasn't been done.
And if you start making a list of "what hasn't been done," it's a very long list.
It's amazing, jaw-droppingly awe-inspiring really, to watch Clinton supporters affirm the very principle of the majority opinion in Citizens United — that only a proven quid pro quo is corruption — in order to save the Clinton candidacy. When you come down to it, liberals (as opposed to the left) now favor oligarchy. There's simply no other way to categorize the [d]evolution in their thinking. The implication would be that Sanders and Clinton really are not on the same side, as the Clinton campaign avers. They do not have the same goals.

I wish Bernie had asked, 'how would your policies differ from those of bush2?'
The truthful answer would be, she loved his policies and wouldn't change a thing, except maybe more.
Let's give Obama some credit here… Granted he continued all of bush policies, but did agree Libya was a mistake.
optimader April 15, 2016 at 3:03 pm
Another For the Record correction from my perspective, correct me if I have it wrong.
Obama apologized for was "the lack of planning for the aftermath of Muammar Gaddafi's ouster "
He did not say Libya was a mistake perse, just that a lack of planning for the "aftermath" was untidy –to use a term coined by Von Rumsfeld.
As well he refers to the arms length assassination of a Head of State as an "ouster".
So no, negative credit fro BHO.
The guy remains a overly nuanced douchebag. And I'm not talking about the French luggage brand.
And MSM doesn't call him on it, just like they let GWB slide off into the sunset with his errata page -next to obituaries and things for sale- fake apology for the Iraq debacle being "too costly to the American people"
Jim Haygood April 15, 2016 at 4:07 pm
He refers to the arms length assassination of a Head of State as an "ouster".
Mayor Robert Maestri of New Orleans hosted President Frank Roosevelt at dinner once, and didn't say a word till the end of the evening when he asked FDR, "How'd you like them ersters?"
Today 0bama could be asked, "How'd you like them ousters?"
Obama didn't just continue Bush policies. Bush at least had the common decency to treat domestic spying, drone strikes, and torture as things to be ashamed of and kept hidden, even while he did them. It took Obama to openly embrace them and make them respectable.

Then we had the 2000 election, with Ralph Nader saying all of the things that we had been wanting to for years. O hasn't even gotten the kind of support that Clinton did.
If history is any guide, O's reputation will not outlast him. This may be wishful thinking, but it may not even outlast his Presidency this time at the rate we are going. He is moving fast to blunt his record, but no one can move fast enough to erase a lot of the things he has done.

The sole purpose of Cheney's energy meetings. Which is why he fought so hard to keep them secret.
Today, while entering the latest dismal capacity utilization of 74.8% into a spreadsheet, I noticed that previous months were revised downward quite drastically — a fact not mentioned by FRED or Econoday.
What's up with that? The Fed explains:
The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. The revision affected rates of change for IP from 1972 forward.
Total IP is now reported to have increased about 2 1/2 percent per year, on average, from 2011 through 2014 before falling 1 1/2 percent in 2015. Relative to earlier reports, the current rates of change are lower, especially for 2014 and 2015.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, capacity utilization for total industry was 75.8 percent, a rate 4.2 percentage points below its long-run average of 80.0 percent and equal to its value in the second quarter of 2011 (table 6 and table 8). Compared with earlier estimates, capacity utilization for total industry is now reported to have been higher in 2012 and 2013 but lower in 2014 and especially in 2015.
http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/revisions/current/defaultrev.htm
Messing with statistics back to 1972 does not give me a warm, cozy feeling. Neither do the recent large downward revisions in capacity utilization, whose 74.8% reading matches that of Sep. 2001, when the attack-traumatized economy was in deep recession.
Even with the new lower cap ute series, my model does not indicate recession. But it would be a dereliction of duty for the Fed to hike rates on an economy with weak and falling capacity utilization, slowing retail sales (a bad data point from earlier this week), and CPI running at a meager 0.9%.
Bond king Jeffrey Gundlach's thesis of "one and done" on the Yellenites' rate hikes is looking better and better. This economy is treading water.
The economy has seemed weak for months, based on my personal experience.
That doesn't stop companies from trying to raise prices.
I hope my monthly health insurance premium goes up less than double digit percentage points in 12 months.
John k April 16, 2016 at 12:29 am
500 earnings down 11%.
R2k earnings negative.
My model says recession probably began in March.
Thanks, that's a very good catch.
Adding, on capacity utilization: This is the best economy ever. Why do you hate Obama?

the false meme of the mechanistic nature of biosystems
Not sure what you mean by this. The physics (engineering) of things is well known. Are you referring to something else? Cause & Effect?
Put too much pressure inside a blood vessel, and it bursts. That's mechanistic and not controversial.
The point is that biosystems are radically interconnected in complex ways and often there are multiple systems interacting to produce a recognised result, and often a single 'process' actually has multiple effects locally and systemically…it is not a simplistic arrangement (eg an engine, a computer), but one that evolved, with many interrelating aspects – many of which are subtle. There are layers of interacting phenomena that all influence each other in complex (often surprising) ways, and defaulting to the mechanistic paradigm tends to mean a lot is overlooked.

Larry Summers? Is there any better spokesperson for all that is broken in this evil and dehumanizing society than that oleaginous, stupid windbag? I am not even sure that HRC is the lesser evil at this point if she comes trailing the usual smiling horrors in her wake like a parade of vampires.
I loathe Trump and his campaign with passion, but every time I watch Hillary speak, hear the ideas she supports, and glance at who actively wants her to be president, the idea of voting for her becomes even more nausea-inducing.
I have zero belief that Trump will actually fix anything, but perhaps it is better to watch the country die from some snake-oil salesman's toxic nostrum than it is to endure the long and drawn-out death of body and soul that Clinton so eagerly heralds.
I'd been personally resolved to vote for anyone over Trump, but watching the debate made me question that commitment.

jgordon April 15, 2016 at 3:27 pm
It's funny how I still run into (usually rich upper middle class) Democrats using the lesser of two evils argument when Hillary is now demonstrably the greater evil.
These people are so clueless that I don't think it even matters what policies a candidate supports. They'll vote for Hillary because there's a D next to her name and D is better than R. It just is! Sign me up for Trump too if Hillary is the nominee. Actually after finding out that Summers is now advising Hillary I might even start sending money to Trump and showing up at his rallies.
Hillary has helped destroy how many countries? Iraq, Libya, Honduras off the top of my head. Trump has zero in his column. As President he could shatter three countries and that would merely pull him even with Hillary.
You think Chelsea is more talented than Hillary?
It's not related, but that question just came to me.
Christopher Fay April 15, 2016 at 8:00 pm
Hillary has the chops to accelerate the nation collapse she's profiting from. Putin has already asked how crazy Hillary, Victoria Nutland, and the rest of the neocons are, and he has said the damage from the next war will not stay in Russia. The rational one has a nuke missile that can hit the States in 17 minutes. I figure a couple of stupid moves from Hillary and Boston is toast.
Larry Summers, you say? Yeah: ick.
But what sealed the deal for me was her positively crowing about her endorsement from known War Criminal Henry Kissinger.
I mean, seriously! No way in hell will I vote for this person. No way.
I will vote for Sanders in the primary. If Sanders doesn't make it, I'll vote for Jill Stein. I can only pinch my nose closed to a certain level, and Clinton's stench simply invades my pinched closed nose. Nu-uh.
Kissinger is definitely worse. He's Sauron where Summers is only Saruman.
Kissinger walking free is one of our society's great shames.
In a just world we'd learn about him as a cautionary tale in history class, accompanied by a photo of him hanging from a lamppost.

Without a catchy photo-op with the holy pops that gets some coverage, it would actually seem as though this trip were a bit of a waste of time when he could have been campaigning in NY.
He could have used the "Look everybody, I'm here in Workersville in upstate NY campaigning, while HRC is in Hollywoodland schmoozing with Clooney Tunes" argument to win over a few more voters.
Yves Smith April 15, 2016 at 3:00 pm
Huh? I don't even have a Bernie campaign e-mail on the speech. This isn't big headline or market-moving news, so it won't get fast tracked through the edit process. The story would be on "evening for next AM" production cycle. You need to wait until tomorrow AM to reach any conclusions.
His trip is huge on the FB Bernie pages; he is being received like a rock star there. I never thought I would see the day that there would be an American political rally (signs and all) on the steps of the Vatican!
Seems like Facebook (FB) is unavoidable.
I hope he is not riding share-economy taxi.

Since his campaign staff as well as the press corp were on the chartered flight it would seem rather petty to complain about his family going along. Fly over, give a speech, fly back — not much of a "vacation". It isn't like they are spending time on the riviera and hitting the casinos.
He paid for the press corp and they are not covering the event?
Or is it their evil editors who are doing the censoring?

Jane Sanders should have stayed behind to finally retrieve / publish their tax returns. Maybe then we could "dispense with this fiction" (RIP Rubio) peddled by the MSM that there is some kind of moral equivalence between the Clintons' and the Sanders' respective financial dealings.
Take the house along for the vacation.
Ms. Sanders can have the customs officers at the Italian airport look/search through that house and retrieve the tax returns.
"Your tax returns could have greatly damaged our country. We must search for them."
DrBob April 15, 2016 at 8:45 pm
Washington (CNN) — Bernie and Jane Sanders earned nearly $206,000 in 2014 and paid about $28,000 in federal taxes, according to a tax return released by his campaign Friday night.
The return also shows that the couple earned nearly $46,000 in Social Security benefits. Together, their total unadjusted gross earnings was $205,617.
The couple also reported $8,350 in gifts, though the seven-page return did not provide further detail.
The release upholds a pledge Sanders made at the CNN Democratic debate to release his 2014 taxes.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/15/politics/bernie-sanders-jane-sanders-taxes/index.html
He makes less than what Hillary does in giving one 'closed door' Wall Street speech (transcripts of which she still refuses to release).
If you read the comments in the articles, you will see that his small donors are ecstatic that he went and that his whole family went and that they had a part in giving him the opportunity. sourpuss
Are they staying at the Borgia Apartments?

I'm pretty sure the poor guy is going to be there for maybe two to three days. I also expect that during this time what occurs there will be incorporated into his campaign. I'm good with him and Jane taking the cash to go from the campaign.
As one of those small donors, I assure you I still consider my donations to the Sanders campaign to be money well spent.

104th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking today – I cannot recommend highly enough that readers interested in the history and the fascinating engineering involved in the ship's construction download the Wikipedia entry RMS_Titanic (wrap that in the usual URL stuff) and spend some time savoring the various sections.
There was also a PBS (IIRC) documentary on the 100th anniversary which followed the parallel histories of the ship and the iceberg it hit – one of the interesting points made in said doco was that if the captain and crew had been properly briefed on a key aspect of the watertight-compartment design — namely that if collision was unavoidable it was better to do it head-on, which would have caused a much sharper momentary shock but only breached the forward 2 watertight compartments — the ship would in all likelihood have survived. Tough call, though — one's natural instinct is to try to 'sidestep' the danger, and in fact only a few meters more leeway would have meant a grazing collision with little impact shock and survivable damage. Instead what happened was the worst possible thing: the ship had its side slit open along half its length, breaching 5 of the 16 watertight compartments, one more than the maximum possible to still be survivable.
But, had that particular ship not encountered disaster, such a fate would have inevitably befallen some other 'unsinkable' colossus, due to the combination of inadequate maritime regulations (and international harmonization thereof) and human hubris which prevailed. Humanity simply needs to have its collective nose bloodied now and again in order to remedy whatever its prevailing modus of arrogant behavior happens to be. (I'm looking at you, global warming and techno-triumphalism).
if the captain and crew had been properly briefed on a key aspect of the watertight-compartment design — namely that if collision was unavoidable it was better to do it head-on, which would have caused a much sharper momentary shock but only breached the forward 2 watertight compartments
They would have also need to be briefed on the form of the iceberg.

Sanders was never a sheepdog, and entities like CounterPunch that did nothing but poo-poo him were being completely wrongheaded. Now, he's fundamentally no radical, and he's not much of a socialist, no matter how much he claims he is. But it's a testament to how dire things have gotten in US politics that a guy who is basically an FDR New Dealer (or even an Eisenhower Republican, depending on who you ask), something that half a century ago was a mundane, bog standard mainstream position, is now viewed by the establishment as some crazy fringe type. But the point is that he IS viewed as a threat by that establishment. Clinton and Sanders isn't a choice between two evils; it's a choice between evil and 'eh, could be better'. Sure, there are a lot more progressive people out there you could vote for. But none of them have the remotest chance of winning. And Sanders does (to the surprise of many people, and if nothing else he's shattered Clinton's royal inauguration). This isn't a normal election where the choice genuinely is between two or more neoliberals. Voters can either support the guy who simply by his nature as an old-school throwback represents a sea change, or they can be smug and lament that he isn't far enough to the left for their liking and vote solely on ideological purity. Would you rather have center-left retro, or well-to-the-right? Because that's the choice.
And the idea that huge numbers of Sanders voters will sigh and begrudgingly vote for Clinton if he fails to get the nomination…well, that's certainly what Clinton hopes for. But I can tell you that I and many other Sanders supporters won't be giving her our vote. I vote for him or I fail to play the game, it's that simple. I won't be any scumbags crutch.
Identity-Leftists accusing Sanders of "sheepdog" and "not really truly Left" and etc. were merely showing their spiteful jealous envy at the thought of all those millions of people supporting Sanders instead of supporting the Identity-Leftists like themselves.
Massinissa April 15, 2016 at 9:17 pm

Saudi Arabia Warns of Economic Fallout if Congress Passes 9/11 Bill
Saudi Arabia has told the Obama administration and members of Congress that it will sell off hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of American assets held by the kingdom if Congress passes a bill that would allow the Saudi government to be held responsible in American courts for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Any empty threat wrapped in a PR FAIL inside of an admission of guilt.
It would be nice if somebody ask HRC about her stand on the bill before the NY primary.
Yes, it would be interesting to see which of her many evasive maneuvers she would employ to avoid answering the question.
I suspect she was really good at playing the game Twister in younger years. She wraps herself around like a pretzel to avoid subjects she'd prefer to avoid.

TPM has this up today, to my surprise, given what an echo chamber it has become:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/clinton-debate
"I initially assumed that she either didn't have transcripts or that what she said was the usual milquetoast stuff politicians offer up. But her continued refusal to provide transcripts (which I now assume must exist) suggests that there must be something damning in them."
"I also think her refusal to answer straightforwardly questions about social security caps, carbon taxes, Libya and a $15 minimum wage makes her appear scripted at best. Like the Goldman non-answer, these kind of responses sow doubts about trust and credibility."
Gettin' nervy even in the tank.
I can't stand this playing dumb.
Her standard form contract has been published and it requires her speeches to be transcribed. And she would be the first to say, "There was no record" if there was none.

Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department
The Saudi deal was one of dozens of arms sales approved by Hillary Clinton's State Department that placed weapons in the hands of governments that had also donated money to the Clinton family philanthropic empire, an International Business Times investigation has found.
The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation, resulting in a 143 percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the Bush administration. These extra sales were part of a broad increase in American military exports that accompanied Obama's arrival in the White House. The 143 percent increase in U.S. arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors compares to an 80 percent increase in such sales to all countries over the same time period.
In all seriousness. Does the Clinton Foundation actually serve a purpose or is it really at its core just a lobbying firm? Most Presidents and their families take on some sort of mission. Ford, and I think of the family's open support of overcoming addiction. Reagan – stem cell research. Carter – world peace. The Clintons have amassed a fortune and nothing to show for it.

Cf. the Clintons to Tricky DIck's post-presidential mission — proving he was not a crook.
It's not a lobbying firm. It's an influence-peddling firm/money laundry. Do try to keep up.
Lambert Strether — could you clarify something? Do you mean to agree with the notion of Sanders as a "sheepdog"? Were this the DNC's scheme, I can think of any number of hounds in the Wasserman-Schultz kennel more likely to come to heel after gathering the flock.
I can speak for Lambert on this. No way is Sanders a sheepdog. Why would so many Hillary surrogates (starting with Paul Krugman) be telling him he should do the right thing and stop campaigning? That's been the message for the last six weeks.

Thanks. I've been reading y'all for long enough that I didn't think so.
Your former poster "jackrabbit" is alleging Lambert agrees with him over at Moon of Alabama. I figured I'd have to have chapter and verse to prove otherwise.
Yes, if you would correct him I would appreciate it. We have regularly, from the outset, argued against the "sheepdog" meme.
Jackrabbit was banned from NC for being Manichean (which is reductionist but not in and of itself ban-worthy) and over time aggressive and abusive. We also found out he was attacking us on other sites. His misrepresenting Lambert looks to be his way of trying to get revenge, since both Lambert and I have been clear and consistent about our vies on this issue.
Thanks. I'd prefer not to have to patrol the whole Internet…
No, I don't. Sheepdog imputes motive, and the thin evidence for such a motive was equivocal at the start of the campaign (and even less so now). The term "sheepdog" was coined at BAR, and though I'm too lazy to find the links, my impression is that BAR is a lot less grumpy about Sanders now than they were then.

Re CETA, TTIP and the ISDS (Mandatory Investor-State Dispute Settlement by 3-member corporate-appointed arbitration panels): 100,000 Dutch voters have already signed a petition demanding a referendum on the TransAtlantic Trade and Investment agreement (TTIP). 300,000 names are needed to begin the process for a national vote on the issue. That vote w/b nonbinding, but still…
Bravo for the Dutch people!!
