Killing people with paperwork instead of a gun doesn’t make you any less of a murdererAt this very moment Luigi Mangione, who is accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO last month, is sitting in a federal jail cell in Brooklyn. He’s got a barrage of court appearances scheduled and, once he has wound his way through the criminal justice system, he could be behind bars for the rest of his life.Which, of course, is as it should be. While there are a lot of reasons that many people find the 26-year-old alleged assassin sympathetic, you can’t just gun a CEO down outside a hotel in Manhattan and face no consequences for it. And Mangione, who is, by all accounts, an extremely smart guy with an Ivy League education, should really have known better. He should have known that if he wanted to murder someone – and get away with it – there were far more socially acceptable ways of doing so.Arwa Mahdawi is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...

My last attempt, for my finals at university rather than an online column, didn’t go well. I thought I was going to get a first and was bitterly disappointed with a 2:2. The problem may have been that the examiners were unable to read my handwriting. It may also have been the case that my answers weren’t very good.Writing in ink – be it using a pen or a typewriter – turns out to be shockingly different from writing on a computer. For a start, you can’t write down any old tosh with the intention of sorting it out later. Well, I suppose you could, but it would be tricky, with all sorts of crossings-out and stuff. So, alarmingly, you have to apply some thought to the matter. You have to think through the next sentence, from beginning to end, before you put pen to paper, and als...

Will water soon be a marketable commodity or a priceless public good?There’s a scene in the film Mad Max: Fury Road where the evil ruler Immortan Joe, gazing down from a cliff upon his parched, emaciated subjects, turns two turbines, and water gushes from three gigantic sluices. The wretched masses surge forward to catch the deluge in their pots and bowls. And as imperiously as he opened the gates, Joe shuts them. “Do not become addicted to water,” he roars. “It will take hold of you.” But, of course, he already has taken hold of them by withholding, essentially, life.We don’t have to await the dystopian future for the water wars to begin. The struggle over water, between private interests and the public good, the powerful and the weak, is raging now. From Love Canal to Flint, Michigan; Bolivia to Ukraine to Tunisia; budget-cutting, privatization, corporate malfeasance and climate crises are conspiring to create political violence, mass migration, property damage and death.
