Undocumented migration isn’t driven by economics alone—weather matters too. New research finds that drought in rain-fed farming areas increases migration, while extreme rainfall makes migrants less likely to return. In @TIMES: time.com/7272152/clim... In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Have been reading about crazy price of #eggs in USA. In Canada we have supply management system that ensures farms = well managed, not disrupted by bird flu, producers get fair income, consumers pay fair prices. Today’s price for 12 large eggs at my local store = C$3.93/US$2.75
