          Polls show that many Americans today — particularly younger ones — have a less-than-favorable view of free-market capitalism. A recent Gallup survey found that just 54% of respondents had a positive opinion of the economic system.

            Here in Tucson we have a chance to get public power and free ourselves from the horrible mismanagement and continual rate hikes from TEP. Primarily, vote against Prop 421 and stop the bad deal that allows TEP control for 25 years! The deal costs the city and working class people a lot of har…

                Letter: Another massacre at the border

                  This time it’s environmental, as three of four cottonwood trees, estimated to be over 200 years old, were destroyed July 28 - 29 near Lochiel, San Rafael Valley, apparently for the “crime” of spreading shade across the international boundary – and possibly impeding construction of a second 3…

                  Letter: Only in a far-left tabloid!

                    Again, the Daily Star shows its colors. On their Front Page edition of Sat. 08/01 they TRY to Promote that mindless Biden & Trump are similar. Obviously the tabloid has the TDS illness. Nothing on the front page about all the false actions of Fauci.

                    Your fourth-grader shouldn’t be worried about AI | Allison Schrager:

                      When I was in fourth grade, everyone in my class had grand ideas about what they wanted to be when they grew up: a professional basketball player, a firefighter, a professor (I grew up in a college town), a farmer (that was also in the country).

                      Finally inching forward on fixing Social Security | Las Vegas Review-Journal

                        Members of Congress for years have metaphorically run for the hills when confronted with the nation’s looming entitlement crisis, opting for inertia over reforms that might be politically risky. But with the Social Security trust fund now set to run dry in just six years, further inaction will soon be untenable.

                            Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                            A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
