• USA: This is Why Churches Shouldn’t Receive Taxpayer-Funded Loans During the Pandemic
  15 May 2020, by siawi3

  Our government shouldn’t be giving money to churches, period, but this problem is even worse since churches don’t have to play by the same rules as other non-profits. There’s quite literally no accountability regarding how churches will use the cash.

• Message from Sri Lanka

  “In some cases, it’s difficult because the belt is already on the last notch. Sri Lanka has a state-funded healthcare system from birth to death. Some are worried that the IMF might recommend that we tighten the healthcare system. Our education system is also free from grade one to university level.

An illusion that sometimes resonates among Western officials is that the Egyptian army could be a modernizing force, and that is somehow, like Sisi, “moderate.” But like every male in Egypt, I had to serve in the army.
