on No Place to Call Home: Chronic Homelessness
The only way to end homelessness is to switch to a different ecconomic system. Capitalism requires homelessness to function properly. Want to end homelessness? End capitalism.

Uses time as an ecconomic currency. It emphasize the value of efficiency over specialized knowledge. Pretty interesting stuff.

on Layoff or Day Off?
Talking with some PPS teachers, it seems that their major concern is not working for a couple days with out pay. Their worry is that on the days they work gratis, they do not recieve any government provided health coverage. So the educators either have to get outside insurance for those days or take the risk.
Also, from what I understand, other public employees are being asked for the same thing as the teachers are. Police and Firefighters for example.
Teachers, Police, and Firefighters forced to work without health insurance coverage. Anybody else think that's a bit messed up?
