I just took a week off from doing DDD, and am coming back with a different format - 13 or 14 items in the Dose every few days is waaaaaay too much for you to read, and a lot of time for me to put together, so we are going to try something different. Part of the change is driven by the new New York Times paywall, which means you are only allowed to look at 20 NYT stories a month for free, after which they want a subscription.
So we are going to try a daily story/video/article, one a day plus either a good joke, video, music or other entertainment item. Hope you like it.......

Naomi Klein explains how this is part of a 30 year plan to consolidate corporate power over government.
Yes, the oligarchs at work. I wish I was making this stuff up, but I'm not, so if you are interested in our future as a nation watch this one.......and by the way, there's hope!

In theaters now.....
Here's the Orlando Sentinel review and the trailer.....
