EOD Links - 20100404

DateSunday, April 4, 2010 at 11:55PM

I don't post as much as the likes of Andrew Sullivan or Ezra Klein, but there are times where I cannot find time to cover some stories I find interesting; this is where my end-of-day (EOD) links come in. If I can't write about it, the least I could do is to bring your attention to them. So here we go.

  • Straits Times covers sexual harassment faced by workers in the service industry, along with some useful contact numbers for those who need help for this under-covered issue.
  • Singapore's baby boomers wants retirement homes, joining voices to widen the social safety net.
  • Stephanie Lewis relates the importance of doing what you love, as opposed to working just for monetary gain.
  • Joe Brewer explains the psychology behind political discourse, and it's more about rationalising than rational. (via @EileenLeft)
  • Paul Krugman explains the next tough Congressional move: Financial Regulation reform.
  • I want one of these; don't you? (via @terrinakimura)

    Source: The Importance of Doing What You Love
    by Stephanie Lewis at Work Awesome on March 30, 2010
    Money is a great driving force. Let’s say that you are really good at doing two completely different things: pottery and astrophysics. You simply adore throwing pots, choosing the perfect glaze, and seeing the final product of what you make—but the pay is less than what you would like to live on.

    Source: Financial Reform 101
    by Paul Krugman at New York Times on March 31, 2010
    Let’s face it: Financial reform is a hard issue to follow. It’s not like health reform, which was fairly straightforward once you cut through the nonsense. Reasonable people can and do disagree about exactly what we should do to avert another banking crisis.
