LEFT BIAS, HIGH, News & Media Website n Washington, D.C.Voters have given Joe Biden and Congress a progressive mandate to enact real change.
Americans are hungry for change, as evidenced by what happened on Election Day. Voters handily supported progressive ballot initiatives across the country. In Florida, an amendment to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour passed with 61 percent support, even though the state went for Trump. And that wasn’t the only successful progressive ballot initiative to succeed in a redder state: Both Montana and South Dakota voted to legalize recreational marijuana, along with the bluer states of New Jersey and Arizona. Arizona continued its progressive streak by approving a tax increase on the wealthy to fund its education system, as did Colorado. Colorado also voted to fund a public paid family leave program.

Thousands apply to be a Finn for 90 days in migration scheme
Americans, Canadians and Britons among those lured by campaign to attract foreign tech workers
Finland has received more than 5,300 applications in a month for a groundbreaking scheme offering foreign tech workers and their families the chance to relocate to the Nordic country for 90 days to see if they want to make the move permanent. “We’re not top of many relocation lists, but we know once people do come, they tend to stay,” said Johanna Huurre, of Helsinki Business Hub which devised the campaign. “There’s huge competition globally for talent, so we had to think creatively.”

Behind the paradox lies a superstition about history that may explain their viciousness and violence.
No one has noticed, or at any rate pointed out, the basic contradictoriness of exposing, emphasizing, and displaying our national sins on the one hand, while on the other trying to obliterate every trace of them from historical record.
