How Totalitarians Weaponize Loneliness
Thinkers as early as Aristotle observed that man is, by nature, a social creature. For this reason, there has been a surge of media attention on the “loneliness plague” which the Information Age has wrought. Most media attention has focused on the health consequences of loneliness, which stand to overwhelm government health systems in the coming years. Far less attention has been paid to the social and political consequences of loneliness. But it would be a mistake to overlook the effects loneliness has on political systems.
Why Grover Cleveland Might Be America's Most Underrated President
Cleveland realized that “Officeholders are the agents of the people, not their masters.” Therefore, he opposed paternalistic government policies financed by imposing tax burdens on others. Cleveland tried to eliminate burdensome and inefficient tariffs, “the vicious, inequitable, and illogical source of unnecessary taxation.” He also resisted political pressures to inflate the currency, even when facing a serious recession.

It is remarkable that even as Europe has realized the folly of central planning in so many other economic areas, it has actually doubled down on it in environmental regulation, and has indeed sought to export it to other nations. In this, it has found a willing ally in recent years in the United States, whose environmental policy is also largely a product of progressive era thought.

Glover Field, long named for controversial ‘Father of Spokane’ James Glover, could get new moniker
For more than a century, the grassy, 3-acre plot in Peaceful Valley built for high school athletics has borne the name of the man heralded as “The Father of Spokane.” Now, James Glover’s moniker could be removed amid scrutiny fueled by the pioneer’s treatment of his first wife, among other concerns.
