ARPA Funds and the Public Commons at Concord's Todos Santos On the council agenda for their February 7th meeting, Concord's city council will consider giving nearly half-a-million dollars to the Todos Santos Business Association for "porters" and "private security". This private-public partnership to patrol Todos Santos Park and the adjacent downtown area will blur the lines between private property and public commons....

Cacophony of Corporatism, Subsidies & Inheritance Tax History is written by the winners. In times of total digitalization, the civilizational kamikaze course to the periphery of a Third World War harbors unprecedented risks. After all, the Orwellian "memory hole" has long been a reality and could soon lead to subsequent generations no longer being able to develop any awareness at all of what it means to lead a free and dignified life....

Astonishment. The Beginning and End of Theology Debt relief is absolutely essential. Making persons morally liable who are materially in debt is a mistake.

Mayor of El Paso refusing to let undocumented immigrant children in Convention cot shelter When an adult parent is put in prison, the jailers don't throw the children in prison with their parent.

In Texas, where the Mayor is refusing entry to the Convention center cot shelter for migrants, he is leaving out in the cold migrants with no immigration papers, he is leaving their babies and small children out in the cold with the parents. That is wrong. The children should immediately be put into foster care, not punished for illega...

Bad Deal: Seeno's and Tagami's Newest Proposal for Concord The latest term sheet proposal by the Concord First (yes, really that's their name) Partners is a bad deal for Concord.

Letter to Mayor Brunner on City Council's Latest Homeless Hayride I wrote a letter to Mayor Brunner regarding the City's end run around human decency in the Benchlands. Item 19 is a double-barreled blast at those outside--showcasing an empty report that has no significant expansion of shelter for the planned Benchlands demolition. As well as a seizure of homeless funding--using it as demolition money....
