The Scourge Of Pandemics
The outbreak of Coronavirus has prompted a good deal of interest in the Spanish Influenza that killed so many people at the end of World War One. Catharine Arnold, author of Pandemic 1918 (St. Martin’s Press, 2018), reminds us that during the first twenty-five weeks of that pandemic, no fewer than 25 million people died of the disease, which eventually was to kill well over 50 million people and perhaps as many as 100 million globally, many more than the cataclysmic world war that overlapped it chronologically.

When they're not squished by big government.
In response to the 2008 recession, rising home prices, and a growing demand for mobility and sustainability, a new entrepreneurial movement burst upon the housing market: Tiny homes. Tiny homes are permanent living spaces usually running between 100 and 600 square feet. Offering relatively low-cost living, eco-friendly designs, and lifestyle flexibility, tiny homes have become a genuine phenomenon appealing to a wide range of consumers. Adventure seekers, the environmentally conscious, and people hoping to downsize their life have flocked to tiny home builders for their chance to “live small.” ... According to a survey by the National Association of Home Builders, more than half of Americans would consider living in a home that’s less than 600 square feet. For millennials, that number is even higher. Tiny homes are also a potential low-cost solution to the homelessness crisis. But despite widespread popularity and potential, there is a bevy of obstacles to tiny home living. State and local governments have been slow to facilitate the burgeoning market, which has made living in tiny homes illegal in many places.

Sens. Mark Schoesler and Mike Padden: Bill to alter Washington’s redistricting process isn’t needed
As the old saying goes, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. That adage certainly applies to our state’s voter-approved redistricting process and a bill moving through the Legislature that seeks to change it.
