September 27, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 10 Comments

crime homicide spike

Homicides in the U.S. spiked by almost 30% in 2020. The fact that big cities, small cities, suburbs and rural areas – in both blue and red states – experienced similar increases in homicides suggests that nationwide events or trends were behind the rise. what happened in 2020 was a confluence of events that created the perfect conditions for a spike in murders.

Alien Future: How Warming Climate May Create an Unrecognizable World

September 26, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 8 Comments

A Depart,ment of the Interior pair of pictures showing how Lake Mead's elevation dropped from 1,196 to 1,075 feet, a decline of 121 feet. It's gotten considerably worse since.

A team of scientists’ climate projections for 2500 show an Earth that is alien to humans. Heat stress may reach fatal levels for humans in tropical regions which are currently highly populated. Such areas might become uninhabitable. Even under high-mitigation scenarios, we found that sea level keeps rising due to expanding and mixing water in warming oceans.

Americans in households with annual incomes from $50,000 to $75,000 experienced the sharpest increase in food insufficiency when the COVID-19 pandemic began – meaning that many people in the middle class didn’t have enough to eat at some point within the previous seven days.

Legislators came to town for the autumn ritual of political harlotry they call “committee week.” Tallahassee’s collective IQ dropped by a good 60 points. That’s bad, but what they propose doing to Florida is worse. Diane Roberts reports.

How Conservative Comic Greg Gutfeld Became King of Late Night

September 24, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 6 Comments

Regardless of whether or not this comedy is to your taste, it’s working for Gutfeld and his audience.

Greg Gutfeld’s success might come as a shock because it punctures long-standing assumptions about what comedy is, who can produce it and who will enjoy it. These prejudices obscure an important truth: Right-wing comedy has become both a viable business strategy and a crucial element of conservative politics.

47 Million Americans Think Biden Is ‘Illegitimate.’ 21 Support Violence to ‘Restore’ Trump

September 23, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 28 Comments

A screen shot from an FBI video of the insurrection.

The survey found that many of these 21 million people with insurrectionist sentiments have the capacity for violent mobilization. At least 7 million of them already own a gun, and at least 3 million have served in the U.S. military and so have lethal skills. Of those 21 million, 6 million said they supported right-wing militias and extremist groups, and 1 million said they are themselves or personally know a member of such a group, including the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.

The Connection Between Containers and Your Missing Christmas Presents

It may not look like it, but containers are in short supply. (Jaxport)

An estimated 90 percent of the world’s goods are transported by sea, with 60 percent of that – including virtually all your imported fruits, gadgets and appliances – packed in large steel containers. Without the standardized container, the global supply chain that society depends upon – and that I study – would not exist.

Arbor Day Post-Mortem: One-Third of the World’s Tree Species Face Extinction

September 19, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 3 Comments

They look great here. But they're disappearing: Mahogany trees. (Lauren Gutierrez)

One in three of the world’s tree species are at risk of becoming extinct. More than 400 species have fewer than 50 individuals remaining in the wild, and 142 tree species are already extinct. Human activity is the overwhelming culprit, especially forest clearance for farming, logging for timber and the spread of invasive pests and diseases.

Democrats’ Tax-the-Rich Plan Isn’t Fixing the Slide from Progressive Taxation

September 18, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 2 Comments

It's not just for galas: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has a whole clothing line. That particular sweatshirt costs $58.

The progressivity of the U.S. tax system has dramatically declined over the past seven decades. The upshot is that for most income levels the U.S. tax system now resembles a flat tax that becomes regressive at the very top end, meaning the super-rich pay proportionately less.

Palm Coast’s prohibition against small, van-size commercial vehicles in residential driveways is outdated and discriminatory, especially targeting blue-collar workers while refusing to recognize the vastly changing geography of work. This isn’t a majority vote issue. It’s a workers’ rights issue.

The expanded child tax credit is on track to lift half of all kids living in poverty out of it. That will help them lead safer, happier lives well into adulthood.

When Forceful Vaccine Messaging Backfires

September 14, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 6 Comments

vaxx and relax

A fevered pitch in vaccine messaging may make the holdouts even more resistant. The direct, blunt messages to go get vaccinated that worked on three-quarters of Americans may not work for the remaining one-quarter. Some health communication techniques work more effectively than others depending on the audience.

Researchers found that those taking at least 7,000 steps a day had a 50 to 70% lower risk of dying during the study period compared with those taking fewer than 7,000 steps a day. Next time you see your daily step count is below 10,000 steps, do not get demotivated and remember you will get some health benefits from doing around 7,000 steps.

How Another President’s Vaccine Rollout Eradicated a Deadly Disease, Without Ideological Animosity

September 12, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 28 Comments

On May 31, 1955, just weeks after the Salk polio vaccine was proved effective against the deadly and paralyzing disease, President Eisenhower outlined the benefits of universal vaccination and hinted he would use the full powers of the government to ensure inoculations. But cooperation from federal, state and local governments made that unnecessary. Polio was eradicated within a few years.

Simplistic and Damaging: How Schools Teach 9/11

September 11, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 7 Comments

An inscription on a wall at the 9/11 Memorial Museum at the site of the World Trade Center towers. Behind the wall is a repository of some 8,000 unidentified human remains. Virgil's quote, however, was taken out of context, and misapplied to the memory of the 9/11 victims. (© Pierre Tristam/FlaglerLive)

Narratives reduced to a focus on heroism and simplistic interpretations of good and evil do not help students reflect on the many controversial decisions made by the U.S. and their allies after 9/11, such as using embellished evidence to justify the invasion of Iraq in 2003. And they potentially reinforce political rhetoric that paints Muslims as potential terrorists and ignore the xenophobic attacks against Muslim Americans after the 9/11 attacks.

Why Israel’s Vaccine Rollout Faltered After Early Successes

After an initial boost in vaccine coverage, shots slowed in Israel, and society opened perhaps too early. (Amir Appel)

After its fast start, Israel’s rollout slowed. There have not been any clear interruptions to vaccine supply, so factors such as hesitancy or access to healthcare may have been an issue. For example, there’s evidence of uptake being lower among Arab and ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups.

smart phone anxiety

The anxiety felt when people are unable to use or be in contact with their smartphones is known as nomophobia, or no-mobile phobia. It is thought to be a product of the intense attachments to our devices, and is believed to be strongest among people who use their phone the most, like teens and young adults. And it’s not good.

The change in who we are as a country has been caused by partisan leaders being willing to rally their minions for any purpose so long as it might lead to demolishing their opposition. The good of the country no longer is even part of the goal, argues Irwin Connelly.

Tattoos’ Long and August History of Meanings

September 5, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

After an earth-shattering 16 months that have seen hundreds of thousands of our family members, friends, and neighbors die at the hands of an implacable and indiscriminate foe, there’s just a genuine question of whether grinding it out for 40 hours a week at a job with substandard pay, low benefits, and little work-home balance is really worth it.
