Today's Must-Reads - 15 July 2022
A selection of the latest news, studies, reports and articles
I spend a lot of time each day gathering together new information and interesting articles. I then pick one or two of the most interesting topics and write about them. However, that leaves a lot of missed out information that I’m not sharing.
Below is a summary of all the latest articles and information that I’ve found today. Today, this is for all subscribers but will be for paid subscribers only a lot of the time in the future.
Please consider taking out a paid subscription because it enables me to spend longer reporting on the news that isn’t, but should be reported.

I remember seeing illustrations of Bedlam – the notorious asylum for the mentally ill. Bedlam had an opulent, palatial exterior but housed the pitiably deranged, desperate and deluded within. However, such conditions provided entertainment, diversion and, inevitably, insight into the disordered human condition for chortling and maybe even shocked visitors.
I feel the same way as those visitors to Bedlam on reading these items.
Thank you, Emperor!
