Everything Everywhere Daily - British Currency Decimalization

On February 15, 1971, the United Kingdom had a landmark day in its history. 

On that day, the country’s currency was changed after centuries of a currency system with very little change. It was a day that was years in the making.

It wasn’t the currency that changed, however. Rather it was how the currency was divided. It was the change that changed.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Reaching ‘Net Zero’ – What Will It Really Take?

Starting this weekend, governments, businesses, and scientific leaders from around the world are gathering in Egypt for the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference. To curb the effects of global warming, a lot of emphases has been put on reaching a specific goal: net zero emissions by 2050.

That deadline is to, basically, give countries and industries time to implement changes that most scientists say are needed to avoid triggering irreversible, catastrophic effects of climate change. But what does that transformation to net zero really mean and look like in our daily lives?

Dr. Mekala Krishnan says it’ll fundamentally change every system. She’s a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute and she co-authored a research report that analyzed the economic impact of these changes – the major, society-wide shifts that would have to happen from jobs and cars, to the foods we eat, and beyond.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Affirmative Action on the Chopping Block

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Professor Cara McClellan, former counsel at NAACP LDF, and founding Director of the Advocacy for Racial and Civil Justice Clinic, at University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. Professor McClellan takes us through an extensive trial record largely ignored in oral arguments at SCOTUS this past week. 

Then, Dahlia is joined by David Rothkopf whose book, American Resistance: The inside story of how the deep state saved the nation, details the folks who stuck around and tried to hold the line during the Trump years, and what we can learn from them. 

In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to talk about the judges pushing back in gun cases post Bruen, and the lower courts defying Supreme Court precedent as they seek to curtail LGBTQ rights.

The Gist - Democrats Hispanic Panic

Rick Sanchez, news veteran and host of the eponymous Rick Sanchez Podcast, says that the Latino vote confounds not just Democrats but a media who have no idea about how to analyze or conceptualize it, such as it is. Plus, when good economic news and bad economic news both make us feel bad something is weird. And Tom Barrack is NOT a foreign agent.

Consider This from NPR - What Happens When The Mighty Mississippi Becomes The Measly Mississippi

The extremes of climate change are wreaking havoc on the Mississippi.

Over the past two months, this critical waterway has seen below average rainfall. In some places, water levels haven't been this low for more than 30 years.

NPR's Debbie Elliot explains how that is helping the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico push upriver, threatening municipal and commercial water supplies.

Then Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco and Eva Tesfaye, of The Mississippi River Basin Ag and Water Desk, show us how life on the river can be just as hard when climate change produces too much water.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
