    Opinion: America hasn’t been this safe in many decades (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    And, perhaps more importantly, did you notice they were missing? Jeff Asher, a crime statistics guru who co-founded the data firm AH Datalytics, told the National Council of State Legislatures that people tend to judge the crime rate by anecdotal evidence — what a neighbor told them happened to an acquaintance or something they heard happened nearby. Worse, they listen to politicians or judge that the political party they oppose has made a practice of either coddling criminals or abusing them.

    Opinion: Is opposition to data centers real, or are American being manipulated? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Americans are finally uniting for a cause. From Bernie Sanders to a newly converted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, everyone, it seems, is against the construction and operation of computer data centers. But is this a true grassroots movement, or are foreign bots stirring things up? Utah has 48 operating data centers, and most of them popped up without much attention. That all changed during this summer when the Stratos Project was introduced in Box Elder County, near the expanding shores of the water-s

    Opinion: Why people are fascinated by predictions of the future (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sometimes, predicting the future can take an ironic twist. Fifty years ago, United Airlines President Richard J. Ferris gave a speech in which he predicted airfares would rise to staggering levels by the year 2026. A flight from Chicago to New York, for instance, would cost $430, he said, according to a Chicago Tribune story I found on newspapers.com.

But when it comes to Social Security reform, the time is quickly coming when “now” won’t even be the second best time to plant a solution. And while The Wall Street Journal struck a hopeful note last weekend with a report headlined “Congress is finally talking about saving Social Security,” it’s worth noting that we’re in the middle of a heated midterm election season and the public

    Opinion: A 1962 checkbook and the housing market of today (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Among the unlikely treasures that have fallen into my possession through the years is my late father’s checkbook from 1962. It’s a time capsule of sorts, much more illuminating than what people normally stuff in those things. Among other expenses I found from that pre credit-card-for-every-purchase era was a check for 50 cents, written on July 5 to something called Ice Treats Inc. Given that we lived in Phoenix, that made a lot of sense, and I’m sure I enjoyed it, being 3 at the time. But
