But that outburst of direct democracy has been limited to just half the states. About 167 million people live in 25 other states where such direct democracy is not currently an option. The number of ballot measures seeking to restrict the initiative and referendum process dipped in 2016 and has since risen. Measures seeking to restrict direct democracy peaked from 1995 to 2004 but significantly outpaced those seeking to expand direct democracy throughout the entire period of 1960 through 2022. Californians have considered 391 ballot initiatives — approving 137 of them — following campaigns that in recent years have cost tens of millions of dollars.

☆ In the Faroe Islands, Art, Food and Fashion Take a Cue From Nature
  + stars: | 2023-08-30 | by ( Jeanine Barone | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Coastal Tórshavn — one of the world’s smallest capitals — is itself a nexus of creativity, embracing the contemporary without losing its connection to the past. The old quarter, populated by centuries-old turf-roofed houses, covers a peninsula that juts into the busy harbor. Walk the city’s winding lanes, steep alleyways and wide boulevards, and you’ll find buzzy coffee shops, wine bars and fashion emporia. Rather than just using Tórshavn as a base for island hopping, stay awhile and explore the city’s food, fashion and art. For food loversA sense of whimsy pervades ROKS (meaning “silly”), the laid-back sister restaurant to two-Michelin-starred KOKS (temporarily decamped to Greenland, but returning to Streymoy in 2025).

☆ Ten years after Sandy Hook shooting, Connecticut town spends a day in reflection
  + stars: | 2022-12-14 | by ( Nathan Layne | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
[1/8] Dr. Anthony Salvatore, co-president of the Connecticut Federation of School Administrators lays roses on the Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial as part in a wreath laying ceremony hosted by The National Teachers Hall of Fame to mark the 10th anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, U.S., December 14, 2022. Wearing a green sweater - the Sandy Hook school color - he walked the memorial, stopping at the names of the children who now would have been 16 and 17. He renewed a call to ban the kind of military-style rifles used in Sandy Hook and many other mass shootings. Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son Daniel was killed at Sandy Hook, is one of several parents who channeled their grief into advocacy. He co-founded Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit that aims to educate teachers and students about warning signs that can be used to identify likely mass shooters.
☆ Grain Traders Reap Benefits of Global Food Crunch, High Demand
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Patrick Thomas | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Bulk grain carriers are filled at the Bunge Oilseed processing plant in Emporia, Kan. Some of the world’s largest grain companies posted better-than-expected profits and raised their financial outlooks for the year, thriving off crop shortages and global volatility. Two of the largest farm giants that dominate global grain trading and processing, Archer Daniels Midland and Bunge said this week that despite fears about a recession, demand for their grain, biofuels and livestock feed is strong.
