Without insurance, banks won’t issue a mortgage; without a mortgage, most people can’t buy a home. With fewer buyers, real estate values are likely to decline, along with property tax revenues, leaving communities with less money for schools, police and other basic services.

A vaccine for misinformation. While the following article is dealing with climate change denialism it strikes me it could just as easily be applied to politics as the misinformation techniques mentioned are right out of conservative political party playbooks.

Vegetables are losing their nutrients.
In 2004, Donald Davis and fellow scientists at the University of Texas made an alarming discovery: 43 foods, mostly vegetables, showed a marked decrease in nutrients between the mid and late 20th century.
According to that research, the calcium in green beans dropped from 65 to 37mg. Vitamin A levels plummeted by almost half in asparagus. Broccoli stalks had less iron.

States are considering 'climate superfund' laws to hold Big Oil accountable
