Interesting approach to empower the lowest 1%

The headline article in http://paper.li/HomeCareReport/1335447647#/ is The Future of Not Working sourced from a New York Time Magazine article https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/23/magazine/universal-income-global-inequality.html written by Annie Lowrey on Feb. 23, 2017. "As automation reduces the need for human labor, some Silicon Valley executives think a universal income will be the answer — and the beta test is happening in Kenya."

[Repost] Income inequality turns "neglected tropic diseases" into American diseases of "the poor living among the wealthy"

On Wednesday Cory Doctorow posted on Boing Boing Income inequality turns "neglected tropic diseases" into American diseases of "the poor living among the wealthy". From Cory's post, "Chagas, hookworm disease, cysticercosis, and chikungunya -- just to name a few.

Read the post and become informed on this obvious collateral damage associated with income equality.
