Iran, Stubborn History and a Toast to the Future
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30025-iran-stubborn-history-and-a-toast-to-the-future
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: On Thursday, it was announced that the United States and Iran have agreed in principle on a deal to curtail Iran's nuclear program. In return, the ruinous sanctions that have been undermining the Iranian economy for decades would be repealed.
One Food Security Remedy in the Face of Global Crises
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/29711-one-food-security-remedy-in-the-face-of-global-crises
Jon Letman, Truthout: Even as Western industrialized and rapidly developing nations face an epidemic of health problems related to obesity and associated "lifestyle illnesses," the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports that approximately one in eight people in developing nations is chronically undernourished.
Sprinklers Off, Still Homeless
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29952-sprinklers-off-still-homeless
Lesley Haddock, Truthout: There is a war against homeless people going on right now that extends from the church steps in San Francisco across the Atlantic to London storefronts, where the local government has installed concrete spikes to prevent people from sleeping in front of businesses.
The Scourge of Dependency and Globalization in the Caribbean
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29951-the-scourge-of-dependency-and-globalization-in-the-caribbean
Nikolaos Karagiannis and C.J. Polychroniou, Truthout: Challenging neoliberalism at the intellectual and ideological level alone is hardly sufficient for compelling policy makers to confront the deadly shortcomings of the dominant socioeconomic policies and embarking in turn on development strategies that help improve the overall conditions of Caribbean societies.
Three Reasons Why the United States Is Broken, Bloated and Bleeding
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29914-three-reasons-why-the-united-states-is-broken
Pierce Nahigyan, Truthout: Reprisal from internet commenters and angry relatives is guaranteed, but being sure that, no matter what you say, you have the right to say it, that's the kind of freedom that patriots like to remind you other patriots died for.
The Hazards of Your Daily Commute
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29975-the-hazards-of-your-daily-commute
Rebecca Ruggles, OtherWords: In 2013, the World Health Organization declared air pollution a human carcinogen that increases the risk for lung and bladder cancer. A Tufts Medical School team found the highest rates of heart attack in communities located along Boston's major transportation arteries.
Trickle-Down Economics and Trickle-Down Poverty
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29976-trickle-down-economics-and-trickle-down-poverty
Susan Sered, Susan Sered's Blog: Trickle-down prosperity is at best "voodoo economics" and at worst a cruel trick played on the majority of the American people. But trickle-down poverty is all too true at the level of families and households. Eighty percent of Americans don't have sufficient savings to weather a two-month loss of income.
How Filibusters Are Like Zombies
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29977-how-filibusters-are-like-zombies
Victoria Bassetti, Brennan Center for Justice: Why has the filibuster lived so long and grown so strong? Simple. Senators like it. In fact, they need it. From the moment one party takes control of the chamber, senators in that party know that they may be only two years away from slipping into irrelevance.
Eight Ways to Reduce Global Inequality
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/29980-eight-ways-to-reduce-global-inequality
Nick Galasso and Marjorie Wood, Inequality.org: Extreme economic inequality is corrosive to our societies. It makes poverty reduction harder, hurts our economies, and drives conflict and violence. Reversing this trend presents a significant challenge, but one where we've seen some progress.
How Your Tax Dollars Are Wasted to Build Luxury Apartments
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/29984-how-your-tax-dollars-are-wasted-to-build-luxury-apartments
Steven Wishnia, Gothamist: Developers can get a tax break automatically for 15 years and don't have to include any affordable apartments in new construction. They can get a 25-year subsidy if they include 20 percent below-market units, but virtually none choose that option.
