Viktigaste artikeln idag: Umair Haque

Den här artikeln kom till under trycket av Coronaviruset, men uppfordrar oss att se The Big Picture: Människors ojämlikhet i tillgång till föda, sjukvård, och allt annat av vikt. Läs, eller var lite fega! Och varsågod att ta att Umair Haque också är en dramtaisk talang.

"What moonshot does an age of rising authoritarian-fascism tell us that we need to get serious about? Building a world where every life has dignity, stability, security. Nobody — and I mean nobody — should live the way that Americans live: terrified that they might lose their job, and with it goes their healthcare, their savings are nonexistent, and soon enough, they might find themselves on the street. Americans rarely question any of that — but they should. What good is a modern society if people go on living in despair and fear? That way, they become easy meat for demagogues. Democracy cannot sustain itself. So if we are serious about democracy, then, too, we must create a world where every life — every one — has the basics, and never lives in want and fear again."
