The minority community make up about 10 per cent of the population.</p> <p>Police said the latest violence occurred in the southern town of Begumganj when hundreds of Muslims formed a street procession after Friday prayers on the final day of <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/india-terms-bangladesh-violence-disturbing-says-indian-high-commission-in-touch-with-authorities-2575595" target="_self">Durga Puja</a>.</p> <p>More than 200 protesters attacked a temple where members of the Hindu community were preparing to perform the last rites of the 10-day festival, local police station chief Shah Imran told reporters.</p> <p>The attackers beat and stabbed to death an executive member of the temple committee, he said.</p> <p>On Saturday morning, another Hindu man's body was found near a pond next to the temple, district police chief Shahidul Islam told AFP. "Two men have died since yesterday's attack. We are working to find the culprits," he added.</p> <p>The Anti-Hindu violence spread to more than a dozen districts across Bangladesh this week after footage emerged on social media of the Quran incident.</p> <p>At least four people were killed late Wednesday when police opened fire on a crowd of around 500 people attacking a Hindu temple in Hajiganj, one of several towns hit by the disturbances.</p> <p>At least 150 Hindus were injured across the country, community leader Gobinda Chandra Pramanik told AFP, and at least 80 makeshift temples had been attacked. Authorities did not confirm the figures.</p> <p>Hindus have often fallen victim to communal violence in the country of 169 million.</p> <p>Local authorities said they have deployed extra security including paramilitary border guards to control any further unrest.</p> <p>On Friday violence broke out in the capital Dhaka and Chittagong, prompting police to fire tear gas and rubber bullets at thousands of brick-throwing Muslim protesters.</p> <p>High-speed mobile phone internet services were shut down in an apparent bid to prevent the violence from spreading.</p> <p>Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina met leaders of the Hindu community on Thursday and promised stern action.</p> <p>"So far around 90 people have been arrested.

More than 1,000 civilians have been killed, according to a local monitoring group.</p> <p>Part of the consensus was to allow a long-delayed visit by a special envoy, Brunei's Second Foreign Minister Erywan Yusof.</p> <p>ASEAN has insisted that he meets with all parties concerned, but the junta rejected any proposed meetings with people on trial, among them Suu Kyi, who is facing charges including sedition and flouting coronavirus restrictions during last year's polls.</p> <p>Member nations had already voiced their disappointment at the path the junta has chosen.</p> <p>"Malaysia is very disappointed that after six months from April, Minister Erywan has yet to be able to be to go to Myanmar," Malaysian Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah said Friday ahead of the meeting.</p> <p>"If there is no real progress then Malaysia's stance will remain: that we will not want the general to be attending the summit. No compromise on that."</p> <p>Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in a tweet after the meeting that her country had proposed that Myanmar "should not be represented at the political level" at the summit until it restores "its democracy through an inclusive process".</p> <p>ASEAN's key dialogue partners also threw their weight behind the call for the special envoy to meet Suu Kyi.</p> <p>In a joint statement Friday, the US, Britain, Australia, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand, Norway and East Timor said they were "deeply concerned about the dire situation in Myanmar", and urged Naypyidaw to "engage constructively" with Erywan.</p> <p>The junta -- officially known as the State Administration Council -- has promised to hold elections and lift a state of emergency by August 2023.</p> <p>ASEAN's other members are Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.</p> <p><i>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)</i></p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/myanmar-junta-chief-min-aung-hlaing-excluded-from-summit-asean-2577381">https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/myanmar-junta-chief-min-aung-hlaing-excluded-from-summit-asean-2577381</a>

Biden’s Friday Gaffes: Sleepy Joe Likes “Kids Better Than People” And Suddenly Shouts About “Nuremberg”

<p><strong>Carrying on his tradition of bumbling through public speeches, Joe Biden made a few boneheaded remarks on Friday that were par for the course when it comes to his clown show presidency.</strong></p> <p>First, speaking at the Dodd Center for Human Rights at the University of Connecticut, Biden suddenly began yelling at the crowd when he brought up Nuremberg.</p> <p>“As my dad would remind me, silence is complicity,” he told the crowd. “That’s what Nuremberg said! Silence is complicity.”</p> <p>Either Biden thinks Nuremberg is a person or he meant to say that the lesson the world learned from the post-WWII Nuremberg Trials was that failing to speak out against atrocities is equal to engaging in such acts.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> <p>[embedded content]</p> </figure> <p>Gaffe number two came during the same speech when Biden brought up his longtime friend Chris Dodd, a former Democrat Senator who was being honored at the UConn event.</p> <p>Speaking at the dedication of the Dodd Center, which the university named after both Chris Dodd and his late father Thomas Dodd, Biden praised Chris as being a man who truly cares about people.</p> <p>Biden specifically mentioned Chris is not the type of person who would claim to care for people and then turn around and “disrespect a waitress.”</p> <p>This comment was oddly particular, especially considering <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://nypost.com/2020/05/06/sex-assault-accuser-shocked-biden-put-dodd-on-vp-committee/" target="_blank">Chriss Dodd was accused of sexually assaulting a waitress</a> in a controversy that received heavy media attention in the 80s and 90s.</p> <div class="qyWeYFdw"><a href="https://www.infowarsstore.com/specials-clearance/this-weeks-sales?ims=bcytx&utm_campaign=heroemergencysale&utm_source=Infowars+Hero&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=heroemergencysale" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.directus.libertycdn.com/uploads/_/originals/2-InfowarsEmergencySupplyChainBreakdownSale-hero-385.jpg" /></a></div> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> <p>[embedded content]</p> </figure> <p>Before talking to the UConn students on Friday, Biden visited a daycare center where he added to speculation that he’s a creepy old man since he’s been caught groping children on camera multiple times.</p> <p>Pushing his Great Reset spinoff agenda, “Build Back Better,” Biden told an audience, “When I talked to you folks out on the playground, I joked, ‘Everybody knows I like kids better than people.’ Fortunately, they’re like me, that’s why maybe I like ’em.”</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure> <p>No wonder Sleepy Joe hasn’t given a press conference for 92 days.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"> <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper" readability="5.1932773109244"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true" readability="4.327731092437"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Joe Biden hasn’t held a press conference since July 15—91 days ago.</p> — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1448812596375687202?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2021</a></blockquote> </div> </figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator" /> <p><em>Alex Jones breaks down the push by Biden to inject children with deadly COVID shots.</em></p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.infowars.com/posts/bidens-friday-gaffes-sleepy-joe-likes-kids-better-than-people-and-suddenly-shouts-about-nuremberg">https://www.infowars.com/posts/bidens-friday-gaffes-sleepy-joe-likes-kids-better-than-people-and-suddenly-shouts-about-nuremberg</a>

<p><strong>The latest figures published by the new UK Health Security Agency on Covid-19 hospitalisations and deaths show that the Covid-19 injections still don’t seem to be working.</strong></p> <p>The <span><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1025358/Vaccine-surveillance-report-week-41.pdf">‘Covid-19 Vaccine Surveillance Report – Week 41’</a></span> was published by the UK Health Security Agency (formerly Public Health England) on Thursday, 14th October 2021 and it shows that the vast majority of Covid-19 hospitalisations between September 13th and October 10th were among the fully vaccinated population.</p> <p>Table 3 of the report shows that the number of people presenting to emergency care with Covid-19 resulting in overnight inpatient admission who were not-vaccinated was 2,250, whilst a further 224 were partly vaccinated, and 3,034 were fully vaccinated.</p> <p>Meaning between September 13th and October 10th 60% of those hospitalised with Covid-19 were vaccinated whilst 40% were not-vaccinated.</p> <p>However, the above figures unfortunately are not reflected in the number of Covid-19 deaths, because whilst the majority were yet again among the fully vaccinated, the difference between the vaccinated and not-vaccinated was much greater.</p> <p>Table 4 of the report shows the number of people to have died within 28 days of a positive test result for Covid-19 who were not vaccinated was just 557, whilst a further 92 were partly vaccinated, but a shocking 2,136 were fully vaccinated.</p> <p>Meaning between September 13th and October 10th, 80% of those who died with Covid-19 were vaccinated whilst just 20% were not vaccinated.</p> <p>Many will argue that this is because the majority of the adult population are now fully vaccinated, however these same people will forget that the Covid-19 injections are supposed to reduce the risk of hospitalisation and death.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-22700" data-attachment-id="22700" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="image-138" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/theexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-138.png?fit=639%2C312&ssl=1" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/theexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-138.png?fit=300%2C147&ssl=1" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/theexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-138.png?fit=1003%2C490&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1003,490" data-permalink="https://theexpose.uk/2021/10/16/latest-ukhsa-report-80-percent-covid-deaths-vaccinated/image-138-8/" data-recalc-dims="1" height="312" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px" src="https://i0.wp.com/theexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-138.png?resize=639%2C312&ssl=1" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/theexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-138.png?w=1003&ssl=1 1003w, https://i0.wp.com/theexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-138.png?resize=300%2C147&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/theexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-138.png?resize=768%2C375&ssl=1 768w" width="639" /></figure> </div> <p>Which is why it’s so concerning to see that Covid-19 deaths between September 13th and October 10th 2021 were approximately 30 times higher than the same period in 2020 when there were no alleged 95% effective vaccines.</p> <p>The reason they were so low this time last year is because of seasonality helping to keep an alleged respiratory virus at bay until the winter, as has always happened throughout history. The fact that seasonality has been unable to do that this time around when it has supposedly had the help of a 95% effective vaccine suggests the fully vaccinated should be extremely concerned for their health this coming winter.</p> <div class="wp-container-616a847dbfa69 wp-block-group" readability="4.3360655737705"> <div class="wp-block-group__inner-container" readability="6.7868852459016">

It was a fat, old tome on the history of the popes that looked unspeakably dull, and it was open in its display case to the entry on Pope Joan, the apocryphal figure who was thought to have disguised her gender and become pope in the Middle Ages.</p> <p>The nuns who owned the book were evidently fascinated by this legend. In the margins next to Pope Joan’s entry — in firm, enthusiastic script — one of them had written the words “papa femina.” Female pope.</p> <p>I’ve thought of that book often in the time since: all the frustration, the palpable yearning after some sort of power or independence, packed in those two scribbled words. To be a woman living a life as circumscribed as that of a medieval nun, such that your every waking moment would have a task assigned to it, to live a life of such intense drudgery — and to still think, “There, there, there’s the proof. It doesn’t have to be like this. You can still imagine something else.”</p> <p>You can imagine a woman as God’s emissary on Earth, ruling over every country and fiefdom in Europe. You can imagine not even becoming the pope yourself but just seeing another woman as the pope. Seeing her there, and knowing it was possible to reach that sort of power. Think of the thrill.</p> <p>Lauren Groff’s <a href="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=66960X1516588&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbookshop.org%2Fbooks%2Fmatrix-9780593459652%2F9781594634499&xcust=VoxLaurenGroffMatrixReview101521" has-subtag="true" data-cdata='{"rewritten_url":"https://go.skimresources.com?id=66960X1516588\u0026xs=1\u0026url=https://bookshop.org/books/matrix-9780593459652/9781594634499\u0026xcust=___vx__p_22491098__m_m-placeholder__s_s-placeholder__t_w__c_c-placeholder__r_r-placeholder__d_d-placeholder","subtag_max_length":50,"subtag_delim_length":3,"subtag_key":"xcust","subtag_data":{"id":"66960X1516588","xs":"1","url":"https://bookshop.org/books/matrix-9780593459652/9781594634499","xcust":"___vx__p_22491098__m_m-placeholder__s_s-placeholder__t_w__c_c-placeholder__r_r-placeholder__d_d-placeholder"},"encode_subtag":false}'><em>Matr</em></a><a href="https://bookshop.org/books/matrix-9780593459652/9781594634499"><em>ix</em></a>, a finalist for the National Book Award and <a href="https://www.vox.com/culture/22702556/vox-book-club-matrix-lauren-groff">the Vox Book Club’s October pick</a>, embodies that fantasy once again. It takes the scraps we know of the real-life poet Marie de France, the possibilities we can imagine for a community of women on their own, and it builds a whole utopian world from them.</p> <p>The historical Marie de France was the first known woman to have written French-language poetry. She lived in 12th-century England, was probably born in France or an independent region that has since become part of contemporary France, and seems to have been known at the court of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine. (You might remember those particular royals best as the parents of Richard the Lionheart and King John, famed for being side characters in the Robin Hood legend and also for signing the Magna Carta.)</p> <p>Marie de France was highly educated, suggesting that she was of noble birth. And she wrote swaggering, sensual poetry of courtly love and Celtic fairies.</p> <p>All that is about as much as we know of Marie. There are theories and shadowy historical rumors that connect her with various 12th-century abbesses and noblewomen, but there’s very little we can say about her life for certain.</p> <p>What does come through in the poetry Marie left behind, though, is a certain strength of character, a suggestion of a force of will that borders on supernatural.</p> <p>“Whoever gets knowledge from God, science, / and a talent for speech, eloquence, / shouldn’t shut up or hide away,” Marie writes in <a href="https://people.clas.ufl.edu/jshoaf/files/prologue.pdf">the prologue to <em>The Lais of Marie de France</em></a>. (Translation by Judith P. Shoaf.) She goes on, admonishing: “No, that person should gladly display. / When everyone hears about some great good, / then it flourishes as it should.”</p> <p>Marie has that knowledge and that talent, and she’s got no intention of shutting up or hiding it. She’s going to make sure everyone knows about her brilliance. That’s why she wrote a book of poetry that’s survived for nearly 1,000 years. You can almost imagine her willing those poems into the margins of history, into the place where her life used to be.</p> <p>In <em>Matrix</em>, Groff puts that ambition and that drive at the center of Marie’s existence and then builds everything else up around it.</p> <p>Groff draws from the most popular theory of Marie’s life, which identifies her with the abbess of Shaftesbury, also named Marie and half-sister to Henry II. In Groff’s telling, Marie is the product of rape, a shame on the Plantagenet family line. She is also passionately in love with Henry’s wife Eleanor, another historical woman remembered for her indomitable strength of character and her patronage of the arts. (It was in Eleanor’s court that the courtly love poetry of the French troubadours flourished.)</p> <p>If Marie were beautiful and well-mannered, Eleanor might have been willing to bring her bastard sister-in-law to the court and marry her off to someone. But Marie is tall, “a giantess of a maiden,” possessed of vigorous physical strength and little beauty or grace. Anyone, Eleanor informs her brutally, can see that she “has always been meant for holy virginity.”</p> <p>So in the opening pages of <em>Matrix</em>, 17-year-old Marie arrives in Shaftesbury, the back end of beyond, to serve as prioress at an abbey. There she will remain for the rest of her life, rising to the rank of abbess, guarding over the young nuns in her charge and sending her poetry out into the world for Eleanor, her great unrequited love. And by the time Marie is done with it, Shaftesbury is transformed utterly.</p> <p>When Marie arrives, the abbey is impoverished, and the nuns all slowly starving to death. Grimly, Marie extracts back rent from the abbey’s tenants and develops a reputation as a dangerous landlord to those who don’t pay and a generous one to those who do. She spreads the word that her nuns are available to copy text at a fraction of the price the monks charge — a bargain, because women aren’t supposed to do script work.</p> <p>As money comes in, Marie channels her furious, foiled ambition into making her abbey a center of art. She turns it into a fortress, surrounded by a vast labyrinth that no one who hasn’t been taught by the abbey will be able to travel.</p> <p>At last, she begins to take on the roles reserved for a priest, administering mass and hearing confession from her nuns. She even slips into the scriptorium at night to change the verbs and nouns into the feminine case, operating always with palpable glee. “Slashing women into the texts feels wicked,” Groff writes. “It is fun.”</p> <p>Marie makes the abbey into a world of its own, a self-sufficient commune, run by women and only for women, where no men appear. Her ambitions are spectacular, and her closest friends suggest more than once that she may be going too far and abusing her power — but still, the idea of the world she’s building becomes a fantasy as potent now as it was in the 12th century. (“We were in the middle of the Trump presidency, and I was exhausted” while writing <em>Matrix</em>, Groff explained in a Q&A with her publisher. “I just wanted to go live in a feminist utopia.”)</p> <p>“She feels royal,” Groff writes of Marie, after she succeeds in building a dam that turns a stretch of fallow land belonging to the crown into a lake. “She feels papal.”</p> <p>Finally, the fantasy realized. Pope Joan was a myth, but within the pages of <em>Matrix</em>, Marie can feel more than real. Papa femina at last.</p> <p>Share your thoughts on <em>Matrix</em> in the comments section below, and <a href="https://voxmediaevents.com/vox-book-club-matrix"><strong>be sure to RSVP for our upcoming live discussion event with Lauren Groff herself</strong></a>.

Does it work for you, or do you find it distracting? NO JUDGMENT ZONE: When you first heard of this book, did you think it was going to be a novelization of the sci-fi movie?</li> <li>One of the most compelling parts of this book is how vivid and visceral all the physical details are. Marie as a character lives very much in her body, and the way Groff channels that worldview has the side effect of making history feel immediate and real. What’s your favorite physical detail in the book? For me, it’s probably Marie bathing in the river at night to cool off from a hot flash, and the rat-a-tat rhythm of the sentence as she climbs into the water: “Off with the clogs and the stockings now wet from night dew and the mud cools her toes, the water is at her ankles, dragging hard at the hems, at knees at shame at belly so cool at chest and the arms, the wet wool pulling her body down.”</li> <li>What’s your take on Marie’s visions from Eve and the Virgin Mary? As Groff makes plain via Marie’s second-in-command Tilde at the end of the novel, hedonistic Marie is an unusual choice for a medieval mystic, but today’s poets often write about a mysticism rooted in the flesh. (“At the hour of my death, for the gifts of my body I give thanks,” says Everyman in <a href="https://docplayer.net/85946179-Everyman-adaptation-by-carol-ann-duffy-characters-everyman-god-good-deeds-death-knowledge-everyboy.html">the poet Carol Ann Duffy’s modern translation of the medieval morality play</a>.) Tilde suspects that Marie’s visions are created rather than given. What do you think?</li> <li>Speaking of the visions, which one is your favorite? I, myself, am partial to the one showing God as a hen laying eggs of creation.</li> <li>In the final pages of <em>Matrix</em>, Groff suggests that, had any of Marie’s private writings survived, they would have offered “the traces of a predecessor” as society trembles and reshapes itself before the force of climate change, and “showed a different path for the next millennium.” How do you imagine such a book might have changed things for us?</li> </ol> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.vox.com/culture/22727057/matrix-lauren-groff-book-review">https://www.vox.com/culture/22727057/matrix-lauren-groff-book-review</a>

The case against means testing

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/KvYptoKo6UzjVQXpijEYfB_wW_Q=/0x0:3500x1832/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22927967/1235661617.jpg" /></div> <p>As Democrats weigh what to include — and what to cut — in their budget reconciliation bill, lawmakers are grappling with an existential question: who should qualify for vastly expanded social services.</p> <p>Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is among the moderate Democrats who have pushed to prevent the well-off and wealthy from receiving benefits like universal pre-K or free community college, as lawmakers try to get the $3.5 trillion bill closer to $2 trillion. “I cannot accept our economy or basically our society moving to an entitlement mentality,” <a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1443599405173645315">Manchin said in late September</a>.</p> <p>But this call for means testing, policy parlance for limiting eligibility for social programs based on income, overlooks a few problems, experts say. Means-tested benefits can actually be more expensive to provide, harder to sell politically, and less effective than universal social programs, and they can place both a social stigma and discouraging bureaucratic requirements on Americans in need.</p> <p>Means testing have also long been associated with a moral argument that some segments of the population are deserving of government benefits, while others are not. This idea undercuts the belief that a social safety net is intended to help support those broadly in need, and shifts the burden onto individuals to prove that they’re worthy of getting basic help.</p> <p>“From an effectiveness standpoint, we have a lot of evidence that more universal programs are better for a host of reasons including for helping very low-income people,” says Shawn Fremstad, a senior policy fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. “It has to do with not being so burdensome, not having so much paperwork to do. There’s also a way in which more universal programs are less divisive politically.”</p> <p>Despite how popular programs like Social Security and Medicare can be once implemented, getting new, nearly universal programs passed is an uphill political battle, to say the least. Republicans — and more moderate Democrats — have historically viewed universal programs as excessive.</p> <p>In the end, opponents of more means testing emphasize that the fight for more universal programs is as much about simplifying access to social services as it is about building solidarity and reframing how we think about social spending.</p> <p>“We can choose to strengthen the bond Americans have to one another by proposing universal social insurance benefits that broadly benefit all Americans, or we can pursue complicated methods of means testing that the wealthy and powerful will use to divide us with false narratives about ‘makers’ and ‘takers,’” <a href="https://progressives.house.gov/_cache/files/9/1/9113ed5e-1fa6-4add-82f1-50defd35dcb4/FD56D8FBD35ADBE278F9E5810773B101.final-10-13-21-cpc-eb-bba-letter-.pdf">leaders in the Congressional Progressive Caucus wrote in a letter</a> to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday.</p> <p>The actual contents of the reconciliation bill are still in flux, but a few programs have already been suggested for additional means testing. Some policies like the expanded child tax credit include phaseouts by income to begin with.</p> <p>The bill’s free community college program, universal pre-K, and an electric vehicle tax credit are all possible provisions that could be capped further, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/white-house-democrats-look-means-test-way-shrink-reconciliation-bill-sources-2021-09-27/">according to a Reuters report</a>. Here’s a rundown of some of the measures that could be tied to income:</p> <ul> <li><strong>The expansion of the child tax credit:</strong> There’s already a means test for the expanded child tax credit — the full amount is only accessible to couples with an adjusted gross income of $150,000 or less, or single heads of household with an adjusted gross income of $112,500 or less. Families that qualify receive an annual benefit of $3,600 for every child under age 6, and $3,000 for each child between the ages of 6 and 17. Those who make more are able to access an additional credit, too, though it gets reduced as people’s income levels get higher.</li> </ul> <p>Manchin has said he’d like to lower the income caps on the expanded child tax credit even further, though he has yet to propose a number. “I have got people that are making combined 200 and 300 and more, up to 400 [thousand], saying they’re getting checks,” <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/09/15/child-tax-credit-education-disparities/">he’s previously griped</a>.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Expansion of Medicare coverage for dental, vision, and hearing:</strong> In the existing proposal, additional Medicare coverage for dental, vision, and hearing needs would be available to all seniors in the program regardless of income. Some industry groups and centrist lawmakers have argued that these benefits should be limited to lower-income individuals, making no more than <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/01/medicare-benefits-hill-democrats-514946">300 percent of the federal poverty line, or $39,000 a year</a>.</li> </ul> <p>“There are those who can’t afford this right now, let’s focus it on them,” Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR) <a href="https://about.bgov.com/news/moderate-democrats-pitch-income-limits-on-new-medicare-benefits/">told Bloomberg regarding dental coverage</a>. “It’s less costly to the taxpayer and it gives help to the people who really need it.” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has countered by noting that many older adults in the middle class are also struggling to cover such expenses.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Free community college:</strong> Democrats’ current proposal would provide two years of free community college to anyone who’s interested, but the White House and others, including Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), have suggested that this benefit could be limited based on income.</li> </ul> <p>There are other existing higher education programs that are means-tested, like Pell grants, which are only available to students who can demonstrate need based on their family’s annual contribution to tuition.</p> <div> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) tells me he could envision tuition-free community college being means tested</p> — Joseph Zeballos-Roig (@josephzeballos) <a href="https://twitter.com/josephzeballos/status/1442609231220416520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 27, 2021</a></blockquote> </div> <ul> <li><strong>Universal pre-K:</strong> Democrats’ universal early education push would guarantee funding for all 3- and 4-year-olds to access prekindergarten. But this, too, might get limited based on income.</li> <li><strong>Universal child care:</strong> The current proposal includes subsidies for child care that guarantee no household spends more than 7 percent of its annual income on child care costs. Any spending over that 7 percent threshold would be covered by the program, a provision that effectively ensures that wealthier households won’t receive as much aid as lower-income ones.</li> </ul> <p>Previously, <a href="https://theintercept.com/2021/09/13/universal-child-care-subsidy-reconciliation/">some more centrist lawmakers</a> had proposed that these subsidies should only be available to families that make 150 percent or less of their region’s median income.</p> <p>There are some serious costs associated with means testing. Though they’re usually framed as ways of curbing government spending, means-tested benefits are often <a href="https://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/ss-2011-03.pdf">more expensive to provide</a>, on average, than universal benefits, simply because of the administrative support needed to vet and process applicants.</p> <p>And then there’s the burden means testing puts on those in need. Take the applications for SNAP, or food aid, for example. The most complicated state programs require individuals to meet a specific income threshold and complete certain asset tests. Individuals need to show that they don’t currently make more than 130 percent of the poverty line, or $16,744 for an individual, and have assets worth more than $2,500 (a requirement that varies based on age). <a href="https://www.mrelief.com/about_us">According to mRelief</a>, a nonprofit that assists SNAP recipients, the average applicant needs to either fill out a 17-page form or participate in a 90-minute interview, in addition to providing as many as 10 documents about their assets. Even the prospect of this can push people away.</p> <p>“One hundred percent of the poverty line, 200 percent of the poverty line — that’s not how people think. I always have to go back to a chart to figure it out,” says Ellen Vollinger, a legal director at the Food Resource and Action Center, about how people determine eligibility. “They think, sure, we only want it to go to this cohort of people. But they forget there are large amounts of people who can’t cope with this.”</p> <p>Progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have cited “bureaucracy, red tape, [and] waste” as key reasons means testing can be problematic, and that’s been borne out in the research as well.</p> <div> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Yep. Means testing = more bureaucracy, red tape, & waste.</p> <p>That’s why programs where means testing gets implemented are less popular, not more popular. It’s also why many people who are eligible for means-tested programs still don’t get healthcare or help at all - it’s too hard. <a href="https://t.co/y7I4CmZr4s">https://t.co/y7I4CmZr4s</a></p> — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1444685472349962245?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 3, 2021</a></blockquote> </div> <p><a href="https://www.russellsage.org/publications/administrative-burden">According to Georgetown University political scientists Pamela Herd and Don Moynihan</a>, the administrative costs for programs like SNAP, the family assistance program known as TANF, and the Supplemental Nutritional Program for Women, Infants, and Children can range from 15 to 40 cents of each dollar of benefits distributed in the programs. That includes money used to interview people, check the documentation they provide, and ensure that their claims of need are valid.</p> <p>In other words, even though the intention of means testing is to help people most in need, imposing strict qualification requirements can actually make it tougher for individuals who are eligible to get past the application process.</p> <p><a href="https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2020/09/24/the-problems-with-means-testing-are-real/">As Matt Bruenig writes for the People’s Policy Project</a>, a progressive think tank, these administrative barriers have hurt uptake rates of programs like SNAP and Medicaid, none of which fully serve all the people who qualify for them:</p> <blockquote> <p>The overall <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/reaching-those-need-estimates-state-supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-participation-rates-fy">participation rate</a> of the food stamp program is 85 percent and is only 75 percent for the working poor who likely have a harder time proving their eligibility to the welfare office. The <a href="https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/pdf/10.1377/hlthaff.2018.0417">participation rate</a> of Medicaid is 94 percent for children, 80 percent for parents, and around 75 percent for childless adults. The <a href="https://www.eitc.irs.gov/eitc-central/about-eitc/about-eitc">participation rate</a> of the Earned Income Tax Credit (and also presumably the Child Tax Credit) is 78 percent. The low participation in the EITC <a href="https://www2.census.gov/ces/wp/2019/CES-WP-19-14.pdf">cuts</a> the poverty-reducing effect of the program by around 33 percent, according to the Census Bureau, meaning that mainstream estimates of the EITC’s impact (e.g. those produced by <a href="https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/policy-basics-the-earned-income-tax-credit#:~:text=The%20Earned%20Income%20Tax%20Credit%20(EITC)%20is%20a%20federal%20tax,to%20supplement%20the%20federal%20credit.">CBPP</a>) overstate the effectiveness of the program by at least 50 percent.</p> </blockquote> <p>Additionally, <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16542766/">researchers have found that means testing stigmatizes people</a> who are eligible for these programs, further reducing participation in them and fomenting biases toward low-income people.</p> <p>Conversely, universal programs including Social Security and Medicare have much higher uptake rates of <a href="https://www.cbpp.org/research/social-security/top-ten-facts-about-social-security">97 percent</a> and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK235450/#:~:text=Most%20Americans%20are%20automatically%20entitled,nation's%20elderly%20have%20Medicare%20coverage">96 percent</a> among older adults, though they aren’t without their own administrative hurdles. Filing claims for Social Security benefits or enrolling in Medicare can be extremely confusing and time-consuming as well.</p> <p>Finally, there’s the political argument. Programs that apply to a broader swath of people tend to have much greater political buy-in — think Medicare, for example. “In the same way that we’re not here to try to pit programs against each other, we’re also not here to pit people against each other,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told reporters on Tuesday.</p> <p>Interestingly, some moderate House members have been inclined to back more universal versions of programs, like child care, because they want to ensure their constituents aren’t left out. “New Jersey already pays more than $10 billion in taxes than we receive in federal spending and I will not let another federal program pay less to New Jersey tax payers than it does to all other Americans,” Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), a House Democrat in a battleground district <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/us/politics/manchin-democrats-means-testing.html">previously told the New York Times</a>.</p> <p>A pitfall that universal programs are able to avoid, too, is choosing a cutoff that fails to adequately estimate need. For instance, the income threshold for SNAP is $28,550 for a family of three. Because of this cap, people who make slightly more money than the cutoff are left out of the program — even if they could also use this support.</p> <p>In the end, reducing the overall costs of the reconciliation bill will be about trade-offs. Progressive lawmakers thus far have not signaled an interest in further targeting any programs. Instead, they’ve pushed for fewer years of funding for social programs in the bill.</p> <p>“If there are fewer dollars to spend, there are choices to be made,” Speaker Pelosi said in a press conference on Tuesday, adding that shortening the length of programs is a key mechanism that Democrats are eyeing. “Mostly we’d be cutting back on years and something like that.”</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/RepRoKhanna/status/1448066988954296322">As Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) explained in an MSNBC interview</a>, the approach that lawmakers take is likely to vary by program. He signaled an openness to discussing the income cap for the expanded child tax credit, for example, but emphasized that additional restrictions on universal pre-K would be a much harder sell.</p> <p>“It’s reasonable for certain things: If you’re saying that the earned income tax credit should go to working families and not the rich, I agree,” Khanna has said. “But if you’re saying that we shouldn’t have universal pre-K or universal community college, I say no. ... I’m glad that K-12 education isn’t means-tested in this country.”</p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.vox.com/2021/10/15/22722418/means-testing-social-spending-reconciliation-bill">https://www.vox.com/2021/10/15/22722418/means-testing-social-spending-reconciliation-bill</a>

class="ins_instory_dv_caption sp_b">UK MP Stabbing: UK MP David Amess represented Southend West in Essex in eastern England.</p> </div> <b class="place_cont">London:</b> <p>The fatal stabbing of British MP David Amess was a terrorist incident, police said Saturday, at they investigated the second killing of a UK politician while meeting voters since 2016.</p> <p>The Metropolitan Police said its preliminary findings had revealed "a potential motivation linked to Islamist extremism".</p> <p>Amess, a 69-year-old pro-Brexit Conservative lawmaker, was stabbed to death inside a church on Friday while holding a fortnightly consultation with his constituents in the small town of Leigh-on-Sea, in Essex, east of London.</p> <p>Police arrested a 25-year-old man at the scene on suspicion of murder and recovered a knife.</p> <p>Essex police said officers had responded "within minutes" to reports of the stabbing shortly after 12:05 pm (1105 GMT) and arrived to find Amess had "suffered multiple injuries".</p> <p>"This was a difficult incident, but our officers and paramedics from the East of England Ambulance Service worked extremely hard to save Sir David," Harrington said.</p> <p>"Tragically he died at the scene."</p> <p>A father-of-five who was first elected to parliament in 1983, Amess was memorialised with an impromptu evening mass while tributes poured in from across the political spectrum and around the world.</p> <p>Multiple UK media outlets, citing sources, reported that the suspect was believed to be a British national with Somali heritage.</p> <p>"The investigation is in its very early stages and is being led by officers from the specialist counter-terrorism command," Ben-Julian Harrington, Essex police's chief constable, told reporters.</p> <p>"We made it clear at the time of the incident that we did not believe there was any immediate further threat to anyone else in the area," Harrington said.</p> <p><strong>'Much-loved'</strong></p> <p>The killing has sent shockwaves around Britain.</p> <p>Flags were lowered to half-mast in Westminster as tributes were paid to Amess, whose death came five years after the murder of Labour party MP Jo Cox by a far-right extremist.</p> <p>In a book last year called "Ayes & Ears: A Survivor's Guide to Westminster", Amess noted that Cox's death had prompted new security guidance to lawmakers that threatened to limit their access to constituents.</p> <p>"This sort of thing just was not supposed to happen in the UK," he wrote about Cox's killing.</p> <p>"These increasing attacks have rather spoilt the great British tradition of the people openly meeting their elected politicians."</p> <p>Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Amess was "a much-loved friend and colleague" and "a fine public servant".</p> <p>"The reason I think people are so shocked and saddened is above all he was one of the kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics."</p> <p>Dozens of local community members honoured their elected representative in a mass held at another Leigh-on-Sea church near the crime scene on Friday evening.</p> <p>"He died doing the thing he loved -- meeting his constituents," said Jeff Woolnough, a priest who led the liturgy.</p> <p><strong>'Attack on democracy'</strong></p> <p>All Britain's living former prime ministers also paid tribute to Amess, including Theresa May, who called it "a tragic day for our democracy".</p> <p>Prince William and his wife Kate said the couple were "shocked and saddened" and noted Amess had "dedicated 40 years of his life to serving his community".</p> <p>Condolences also came from the United States, Canada and Spain.</p> <p>"An attack on elected officials is an attack on democracy," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted.</p> <p>Britain's House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle said Amess had "built a reputation for kindness and generosity" during his long parliamentary career.</p> <p>"In the coming days, we will need to discuss and examine MPs' security and any measures to be taken, but for now, our thoughts and prayers are with David's family, friends and colleagues," Hoyle added.</p> <p>Interior Minister Priti Patel's spokesman said she had chaired a meeting of police, security and intelligence agencies and "asked all police forces to review security arrangements for MPs with immediate effect".</p> <p><strong>'Cowardly as it gets'</strong></p> <p>Amess was first elected during Margaret Thatcher's tenure and was known for his advocacy of animal welfare and pro-life issues.</p> <p>He had advertised Friday's "surgery" -- an open meeting for constituents -- at the Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea.</p> <p>While public attacks on British MPs are not common, lawmakers have been the victims of stabbings in the past.</p> <p>In January 2000, Liberal Democrat MP Nigel Jones was wounded and his assistant killed by a man wielding a ceremonial sword at a surgery.</p> <p>Pro-EU MP Cox was killed in the run-up to the Brexit referendum, while another Labour MP, Stephen Timms, was stabbed multiple times during an event in 2010 but recovered and is still a lawmaker.</p> <p>Timms said he was "appalled" at this latest attack.</p> <p>Cox's widower Brendan said it was "as cowardly as it gets".</p> <p><i>(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a

Indicted Ex-Boeing Pilot Says He Is "Scapegoat" In 737 MAX Crashes Case

(File)</p> </div> <b class="place_cont">New York:</b> <p>The former Boeing pilot indicted over his role in the 737 MAX scandal said Friday he should not be made a scapegoat for a pair of deadly plane crashes.</p> <p>"This tragedy deserves a search for the truth not a search for a scapegoat," said a statement released by attorneys for Mark Forkner, who led the 737 MAX flight technical team and represented Boeing before US air safety regulators.</p> <p>On Thursday, the Justice Department charged Forkner with fraud, alleging he misled aviation regulators during the certification process for the 737 MAX.</p> <p>The indictment of Forkner, 49, is the first since two MAX jets crashed in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people.</p> <p>"If the government takes this case to trial, the truth will show that Mark did not cause this tragedy, he did not lie, and he should not be charged," said Forkner's statement, which was released by David Gerger, a Houston attorney.</p> <p>The indictment centers on Forkner's representations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over a flight handling system called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that has been seen as a root cause of the two crashes.</p> <p>According to court documents, Forkner had discovered information in 2016 about a major change made to the MCAS, but deliberately chose not to share the details with the FAA.</p> <p>As a result, the FAA did not include a reference to the MCAS in training manuals for pilots.</p> <p>In a message to a colleague revealed in 2019, Forkner said that the MCAS made the aircraft difficult to fly in a simulator. But he deliberately chose not to share that information with the FAA.</p> <p>Forkner bragged to his colleague that he had lied to the regulator. According to documents published in early 2020, he also boasted that he could deceive his FAA contacts to obtain certification for the MCAS.</p> <p>Boeing agreed to pay more than $2.5 billion dollars to settle a DOJ criminal charge that the company defrauded regulators overseeing the 737 MAX.</p> <p>The aviation giant has also admitted that two of its employees misled the FAA and Chief Executive David Calhoun acknowledged that Boeing "fell short of our values and expectations."</p> <p>Family members of crash victims who have sued Boeing called on DOJ to broaden their targets.</p> <p>"Forkner is just a fall guy. He and Boeing are responsible for the deaths of everyone who died in the MAX crashes," said Nadia Milleron, mother of Samya Rose Stumo, who was killed in the Ethiopian Airlines MAX crash in March 2019.</p> <p>"Prosecutors can and should find quite a few other people who were also responsible for causing the crashes. Every single family who lost someone in the MAX crash feels the same way: the executives and board of directors of Boeing need to go to jail."</p> <p><i>(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)</i></p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/indicted-ex-boeing-pilot-mark-forkner-says-he-is-a-scapegoat-in-737-max-crashes-case-2577083">https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/indicted-ex-boeing-pilot-mark-forkner-says-he-is-a-scapegoat-in-737-max-crashes-case-2577083</a>

Parrish and some colleagues began publishing the stories on social media and a publishing platform in a weekly digest titled '#AppleToo.'</p> <p>Parrish said she was careful to respect company rules and never shared information that she believed to be confidential. She said she continued to publish the '#AppleToo' digest after coming under investigation at the end of September.</p> <p>"If anything, it's made the importance of that work clearer than ever, when Apple's response to criticism is to start internal investigations into those that it wants to see gone," she said.

Murderer of Conservative MP Revealed to be 25-Year-Old of “Somali Origin”

NYC Judge Prevents Father From Visiting His Daughter Unless He Takes the COVID Vaccine

<p><strong>Italy has seen an explosion of protests against the introduction of its vaccine passport scheme, with dockers in numerous towns and cities vowing to block ports until the government scraps the ‘green pass’ law.</strong></p> <p>The ‘green pass’ – which is a mandatory vaccination scheme in all but name, forces workers in both the public and private sector to take the jab in order to be paid.</p> <p>Workers who try to do their jobs without taking the vaccine will be suspended without pay and face a fine of up to 1,500 euros.</p> <p>The system is also mandatory for anyone wishing to enter a number of venues, including schools, universities, museums, stadiums, theaters, gyms, and indoor seating spaces at bars and restaurants.</p> <p>Although Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/italys-mandatory-covid-health-pass-work-sees-untroubled-launch-2021-10-15/">erroneously</a> describes today’s protests against the scheme as “scattered,” they are in fact large and widespread.</p> <p>Business owner Ugo Mendes Donelli compiled a Twitter thread illustrating the intense level of the backlash.</p> <p>“Many citizens won’t go to work,” he tweeted. “I can tell they are many because there is no traffic. We had such silence, in my area, only during the lockdown.”</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="13.76"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Update from "Green Pass" Italy</p> <p>The first day of enforcement is today October 15th</p> <p>Many citizens won't go to work<br /> I can tell they are many because there is no traffic</p> <p>We had such silence, in my area, only during the lockdown <a href="https://t.co/oHZt1fLPPf">pic.twitter.com/oHZt1fLPPf</a></p> <p>— Ugo Mendes Donelli (@hugowiz) <a href="https://twitter.com/hugowiz/status/1448981982487134221?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2021</a></p> </blockquote> <p>According to Donelli, despite the media trying to downplay the protest numbers, there are around 10,000 demonstrators at the port of Trieste.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="9.304347826087"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">They have also much support</p> <p>People are bringing food because the workers are going to guard the port 24/7 with no interruption until the government scraps the "Green Pass" law<a href="https://t.co/52tIPVc34l">https://t.co/52tIPVc34l</a></p> <p>3/n</p> <p>— Ugo Mendes Donelli (@hugowiz) <a href="https://twitter.com/hugowiz/status/1448986113041911809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2021</a></p> </blockquote> <p>“They have also much support,” he adds. “People are bringing food because the workers are going to guard the port 24/7 with no interruption until the government scraps the “Green Pass” law.”</p> <p>Students in Bologna are also out in force protesting against the mandate.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="8.05"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Students are protesting in Bologna against the discrimination</p> <p>A few people here too</p> <p>Today there are protests all over Italy<a href="https://t.co/hNn1VaseyV">https://t.co/hNn1VaseyV</a><br /> 5/n</p> <p>— Ugo Mendes Donelli (@hugowiz) <a href="https://twitter.com/hugowiz/status/1448991385189761049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2021</a></p> </blockquote> <p>Demonstrators also took to the streets in Rimini and Udine.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="4.0506329113924"> <p lang="und" dir="ltr" xml:lang="und">Udine<a href="https://t.co/OoP3fBkG9W">https://t.co/OoP3fBkG9W</a></p> <p>— Ugo Mendes Donelli (@hugowiz) <a href="https://twitter.com/hugowiz/status/1448994439423213592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2021</a></p> </blockquote> <p>As well as La Spezia and Milan.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="4.1"> <p lang="tl" dir="ltr" xml:lang="tl">Milano<a href="https://t.co/LsuKnlY5bh">https://t.co/LsuKnlY5bh</a></p> <p>— Ugo Mendes Donelli (@hugowiz) <a href="https://twitter.com/hugowiz/status/1448996261064019971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2021</a></p> </blockquote> <p>Donelli also notes how unions representing soldiers and police are telling them to join the protests.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="16.610778443114"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Those who wrote the "Green Pass" law must be idiots</p> <p>Soldiers, and Carabinieri, are compelled to have the "Green Pass" to get in their quarters, to eat, to sleep, to take a shower, to go to the toilet …</p> <p>Their Unions are telling them to join the protesters <a href="https://t.co/49wPYslbzV">pic.twitter.com/49wPYslbzV</a></p> <p>— Ugo Mendes Donelli (@hugowiz) <a href="https://twitter.com/hugowiz/status/1449002123761434629?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2021</a></p> </blockquote> <p>Under the law, which is being described as a test case for Europe, the unvaccinated in Italy were also banned from using long distance public transport, meaning that holidays, travel for work and visiting relatives has become impossible for many.</p> <p>The ‘green pass’ also tracks an individual’s location, once again emphasizing how it’s a digital ID card on steroids.</p> <p><strong>SUBSCRIBE on YouTube:</strong></p> <p>Follow on Twitter:</p> <p>———————————————————————————————————————</p> <p>Brand <strong>new merch</strong> now available!
