Monday: Vigilantism

Here’s a note from Michael Sinclair, who was more diligent than I:

As I recall, the topic for Monday, 22 November is vigilantism. Assuming the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and verdict come up during this discussion, this article from the 19 November edition of The New York Times might be of interest.

We’ll discuss the Rittenhouse case, the trial of three men for Ahmaud Arbery’s murder, and that state of vigilantism generally.

In addition to the article Michael posted, there have been lots of op-ed pieces on the subject published over the last week as well.

Monday: Minimum Living Standards

In recent years (decades), there has been a lot of discussion about improving the standard of living for the least fortunate (?) Americans.

On Monday, we’ll examine more carefully what that really means
