Today's Opinions

Wed Mar 1 2023

 

Louie Villalobos  Deputy editor/audience and commentary

Look. I know it's only Wednesday. We're all just going to have to power through and find ways to cope. I, for example, and writing this newsletter during a meeting. Literally, I'm in a Microsoft Teams meeting while I figure out what to write for you wonderful people. 

I'm comforted by the fact that it's no longer Monday and that Friday is a couple of sleeps away. We hope you are comforted by the fact that we have some wonder columns to help you get to the end of the week, including something from Rex Huppke on the racist comments made by the creator of the Dilbert comic strip. 

You'll find those below. Oh, the meeting is ending. K, bye.

March is National Kidney Month. A transplant is used to treat kidney failure, a condition in which kidneys can function at only a fraction of their normal capacity. People with end-stage kidney disease need either dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive.
 

Dozens die daily waiting for donor organs. The crisis is preventable.

More than 100,000 Americans are on the waitlist for an organ transplant. Over 30 of them die every day. Most of this death is unnecessary.

President Joe Biden speaks about student loan debt relief at Delaware State University on Oct. 21, 2022.
 

SCOTUS is likely to hand Biden a huge loss on student loans. Good.

It seems as if even Biden, who didn't mention student loan forgiveness in his State of the Union address, has realized his plan is a lost cause.

We may never know COVID's origin. But we have larger issues at hand.

This COVID-19 theater is great for cable news shows and will advance many political careers, but it comes at the expense of addressing the real issue.
