Pope Francis arrived in Canada on Sunday for what he has called a “pilgrimage of penance” to acknowledge and apologize for the wrongdoing done to Canada’s Indigenous people by the Roman Catholic Church. One of his focuses is the historical abuse that children endured at the country’s residential schools.

And in headlines: the WHO declared monkeypox as a “public health emergency of international concern,” the Justice Department is investigating Houston for environmental racism, and Vince McMahon will retire as the CEO of the WWE.

The Daily Signal - Search-Engine Alternative to Google: Freespoke

Did you know that an estimated 90% of internet search queries are performed by Google?

That is an astonishing statistic when you think about one company's market dominance and ability to shape public opinion through search results. It's also highly problematic if you follow Google's pattern of anti-conservative bias and manipulation of its search algorithm.

Todd Ricketts, co-owner of Major League Baseball Chicago Cubs, is challenging Google's dominance by launching Freespoke, a search engine that promises unbiased and uncensored information for its users. Read his interview with The Daily Signal or listen to the podcast.

Fake the Nation host Negin Farsad joins Jon, Tommy and Dan live in Portland!

This Machine Kills - Patreon Preview – 178. Fleshing out Fintech as a Systemic Phenomenon

Now it’s time to get into the real analysis of fintech as laid out by Saule Omarova’s work. We walk through the dominant regulatory approach to financial markets that came from the New Deal; how the 1980s is the true origin of the fintech revolution; how the secondary financial markets have taken over the whole system; how new technologies focused on making micro-level transactions faster, easier, cheaper have led to making macro-level systems more unstable, unrestrained, and untethered from reality. The paper we discuss: ••• New Tech v. New Deal: Fintech as a Systemic Phenomenon | Saule T.
