Social Security Stuck with the Bills as Companies Subvert Workman’s Comp

Social Security Stuck with the Bills as Companies Subvert Workman’s Comp Posted: 21 Oct 2015 10:26 AM PDT By Doug Porter  A study released today by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) makes the case that so-called reforms to workman’s compensation programs at the state level are tied to a rise of the number of workers receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (DI). Over the past quarter century, the number of beneficiaries in this program has gone from 25 per thousand to 59 per thousand, bringing the DI trust fund close to depletion in 2015. Republicans are claiming the rise in claimants for disability benefits is being fueled by lower-wage workers seeking an easy way out of the labor force. It’s just the latest wrinkle in the old “poor are shiftless and lazy meme” at the heart of so-called reform schemes.   [Read more...] shared from San Diego Free Press

San Diego Celebrates the Dead: Días de los Muertos 2015 Posted: 21 Oct 2015 07:22 AM PDT By Brent E. Beltrán Candles. Photos. Marigolds and other flowers. Some favorite foods. Maybe a beer or shot of tequila. We all remember differently our loved ones who have passed. Some remember with regret, others with joy, sadness, longing. But we remember. Death is but a natural part of life. We carry our dead with us in our hearts and some are hoisted upon the bony blades of their forbearers. But we remember.   [Read more...]

Reflections on Palestine: The Madness of Occupation in Hebron Posted: 21 Oct 2015 07:21 AM PDT In September 2015, Pedro Rios joined colleagues from around the country on a delegation to the Occupied Palestinian Territories to meet with farmers, business people, politicians, and activists, in order to learn about how Israeli occupation impacts daily life for Palestinians living in the occupied territories. The delegation visited the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and Jerusalem. This is one in a series of articles on his reflections of his visit to Palestine. By Pedro Rios A Palestinian child, no more than 10 years old, stood in the middle of the street near the checkpoint leading to the entrance of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. In his hands he held a flute similar to those Palestinian merchants sell to the few tourists that make their way into the deserted streets of Ghost Town. The boy blew into it until he was almost out of breath, standing his ground, and blowing a second time with as much fervor.   [Read more...]

Otay Ranch: An Interview with San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox Posted: 21 Oct 2015 07:21 AM PDT By Barbara Zaragoza / Part Two of Four The largest reserve for open space in the South Bay will certainly become a vast area located in Otay Ranch. In Part 2 of my interview with San Diego County Board Supervisor, Greg Cox, he explains that the County hopes over 9,000 acres will be dedicated to open spaces in Chula Vista. In particular, the Otay Valley Regional Park will eventually connect to the Otay Lakes County Park, which is located right next to the Olympic Training Center. That means residents and visitors will be able to hike or ride from the Bayshore Bikeway all the way to the Otay reservoir and dam. A vast stretch of open space for outdoor activities, this is particularly important to residents who are experiencing unprecedented residential expansion. Supervisor Cox explains, "It's one of the largest planned communities in California, if not the country."  [Read more...]
