The Cost of Living: Assisted Suicide and Poverty in North America
The idea of medically assisted death is not new in North America. Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the infamous “Dr. Death,” thrust the concept of physician-assisted suicide into the public consciousness in the 1990s (Filc et al., 2019).

His actions ignited fierce debates about the ethics of euthanasia and the right to a dignified death.

We Should Be Concerned About New Anti-protest Legislation
Amid the nauseating guff that was spouted all weekend on the news channels vis-a-vis the recent coronation of Charlie Three, there was a side issue that was too big for the news media to ignore. I refer to the police clampdown against those who desired to make it known via placards that the head of state is Not My King, an act of suppression more suited to the regime of North Korea than the free-speech-loving inhabitants of John Bull’s Island.

These individuals, who were low-income consumers qualifying for free federally-supported tax services, were charged by TurboTax to file their federal tax returns for the years 2016, 2017, and 2018 due to deceptive and predatory marketing practices, according to New York Attorney General Letitia James.
