But as Sunak resigned as part of a mass exit leading to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s resignation this week, that ideal seems unlikely.

You may have heard of Web3. The idea has been around for several years but it’s better known now thanks to its link to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. And yet, not everyone is sure exactly what it is and whether it’s the internet of the future or just a dead-end trend.

He wrote the June cover story called “Inside the Web3 Revolution.” He learned all about Web3, got to know the people hoping to make it a mainstream reality, and shares the potential pros and cons of this latest buzzword.
In this Saturday edition of the Daily Signal Podcast, Mary Theroux discusses her work of trying to improve the plight of the homeless in San Francisco with methods that attempt to heal the problems in their lives that have led them to such a condition.
She notes that the Housing First policy approach that treats the homeless as if they just need housing doesn't work. Theroux observes "this one size fits all policy that the federal government is imposing, does not address the underlying issues. So people may get into housing, but they're still traumatized, they may still be addicted, they may still be suffering for mental illness. And so they'll likely fall out of housing. They're not prepared to live independently. Plus they may be living in an apartment complex with other people who have very serious problems, and it turns out to be a very unpleasant place to live. So they'll leave as the streets are better."
We're going to need better solutions and this conversation highlights many of those.
