Unemployment Crisis in Gaza: 80% Joblessness in 2026
More than two years of ongoing war on the Gaza Strip have created a distorted economic situation, leading to unprecedented increases in household spending rates, in exchange for goods and services whose value is much lower than those rates.

Friendship Fossilised. Content Warning.
Introduction This has been inspired by the fact that I often include old stories of mine, to expand or enhance new stories, and also to make sure that I am not repeating myself too much. It is OK for some repetition to give emphasis to some points, but I don't want a virtual repeat of any old stories.

When the Shelter Closes. Runner-Up in A System That Isn’t Working Challenge. Top Story - February 2026.
Across the street from my house, a man slept under a tree, his dog by his side. My first, naive thought: he must be traveling through. But he kept coming back, often sleeping there during the day. Then it hit me—that person might not have a home.

The Joy, Happiness and Love...JHL Cluster.
The acronym JHL can have multiple meanings depending on the context. In the context of hierarchical clustering, it refers to algorithms used to build a dendrogram (a diagram representing a tree graph) of nested clusters. JHL is associated with specific statistics that measure performance. Additionally, JHL can stand for various terms across different fields, indicating its versatility as an acronym.

Congratulations
A system that is broken or misaligned, be it social, economic, cultural, technological, or otherwise. Spam/Scam calls or messages seem to cover them all. Social systems of shame among family & friends are overcome & broken by economic realities. Local politics engage in human trafficking, often of entire communities, forcing them into the trade. (If the first three numbers of a 13-digit phone number are “234”, the call originates from Nigeria where, for many, such call centers are simply a fact of life.) Where law enforcement would love to be able to bring practitioners to justice (India is a prime example), lack of resources causes it to break down.

A System That Breaks You More
I feel that to explain this, it might be worth explaining who I am and my own predicament first, and why it is that I feel the urge to explain what it feels like to live with a life-long illness in America. The American healthcare system has long been criticized, but it goes beyond that, and I’d like to explain the completely failed system. A system that buries people in debt, pain, and a constant overwhelming feeling of being unwanted by society at large.

Socialism
Socialism is one of the most used forms of government since it was coined. Despite the ancients running similar systems, it has taken a different form in each place, depending on regions. The different forms all have similar core principles. Yet they do differ in the smaller factors. It conquered many nations with its promises of equality and high social benefits. The equality of the systems draws so many to their ideas. They are generally simple and offer a sense of equality, but they deliver few results that consolidate power in the ruling elite. As this system has been tried, it has not always been successful. It is a system of government control that lacks personal ownership and offers little room for dissent. Socialism will ultimately depend on everyone working together to make the system function, but it will still suffer from financial difficulties. Over a hundred years, the results have spoken: socialism has proven it struggles without elements of capitalism to address financial issues.

Paging Doctor Amazon!. Runner-Up in A System That Isn’t Working Challenge.
Every trip to the Emergency Room with my mother, age 95, has deepened my appreciation for our undervalued nurses and support staff while confirming how broken the medical system has become. The Trump administration's cut in educational funding that targets nursing and other medical programs is demoralizing female students of color who are starting to drop out of school.
