Jackson Residents Are Going on Week Four Without Water in Mississippi

After a winter storm caused record low temperatures and snowfall across the U.S. in February, thousands of residents in Jackson, Mississippi, lost water in their homes. As the city slowly fixes water breaks, some residents are now in their fourth week without water. Tens of thousands of Jackson’s 160,000 residents went weeks without water after the storm, and the rest of the city was, and still is, under a boil-water advisory. Last week, the city’s public works director Charles Williams said that a quarter of the city, or about 10,000 connections, still lacked water. As of Friday, the city had...

How Much Money Do You Need To Join The Top 1%?

How Much Money Do You Need To Join The Top 1%? Knight Frank has released its 15th annual Wealth Report which found that the Covid-19 pandemic has proven good news for the world's super rich, primarily due to surging asset prices that are being driven by lower interest rates and fiscal stimulus. As Statista's Niall McCarthy notes, the global UHNWI population (an ultra-high-net worth individual has a net worth of $30 million or more) climbed 2.4 percent over the past year with growth strongest in Asia at 12 percent. Growing inequality is increasingly been seen as the greatest threat...

Uncancelled Cat & Potato Head

A past victim of “cancel culture”? The right-wing news, certain pundits and certain politicians decided to make Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head a battlefield in their manufactured culture war. The core claim is that Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head have been cancelled by the left. The narrative soon expanded to include President Biden, asserting that he is somehow involved in this matter. As of this writing, he is not. While Ben Shapiro’s famous catch phrase is “facts don’t care about your feelings”, it seems that some on the right do not care about facts. The Dr. Seuss matter involves...

Querying vs Dismissive Objections

It's worth distinguishing two very different ways of presenting an objection, and the two associated dialectical roles that an objection can play.(1) Constructive* Querying objections serve the role of creating a dialectical opening, posing a challenge to which the target is invited to respond. Questions like: "How would your view deal with X?" or "How much of a problem do you think Y poses for your view?" are paradigmatically querying objections, as I'm using the term here. A key feature of querying objections is that they are not presented as presumptively decisive; if anything, the opposite might be the case: the critic...

Understanding Legal Argument (1): The Five Types of Argument

I have been teaching about legal reasoning and legal argumentation for years. When I do so, I try to impress upon students that legal argument is both simple and complex. It is simple because in every legal case there is, in essence, one basic type of argument at the core of the dispute between the parties. This argument works from a general legal rule to a conclusion about the application of that rule to a set of facts. Philosophers and logicians would say that the basic form of legal argument is a syllogism: a simple three-step argument involving a...
