Bernie Sanders: Medicare-for-all would not resemble Britain’s NHS

Good piece by Susan Crawford on the US administration's plans to close the National Center for Atmospheric Research and how that would affect insurance. #ClimateCrisis

Not a brilliant analysis from the MS but 2 nuggets:

Left's proposed 2 per cent tax on assets in excess of £10 million is estimated to bring in £24bn p.a.

Good Morning #Canada
On this day in 1948, the longest serving political leader in the British Commonwealth retired. William Lyon Mackenzie King served 21 years and 154 days as Prime Minister of Canada, in non-consecutive terms, from 1921–1926, 1926–1930, and 1935–1948. He led Canada through the Great Depression, introduced Old Age Pensions, nationalized the Bank of Canada, passed the 1938 National Housing Act to improve housing affordability, established the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Trans-Canada Air Lines, and the National Film Board, and implemented Unemployment Insurance. His government was also responsible for Japanese Internment Camps, and he believed strongly in the occult.
This video from TVO is an excellent overview of King's career. It's probably a two coffee viewing this morning if you have the time, but IMO worth the investment.
