Saved here so I can find them:

A) A novel idea - solve homelessness by just giving them money. The idea, based on experiment, is that a smallish payment at the right time can stop the train of disasters that lead to people becoming homeless.

C) Sometimes, good (or at least not-bad) things can come out of a pile of shit - Has Trump Brought Peace to Gaza?. Money quotes:

1) "The key here is Trump’s extremely close relationships with the Gulf princes and his relationship with Israel and the Israeli right, especially Benjamin Netanyahu. The first (the relationship with the princes) is based on a mutual love of authoritarianism and corruption. More generously we might say it’s a shared vision of the future of the global economy and billionairedom — stated succinctly, the billionaires run the world. But for Trump, specifically, it’s about corruption. He and his family have now become genuine high rollers because of those relationships, which are all based on his political power in the United States. He monetized MAGA and made himself the billionaire he always dreamed of being."

2) " Netanyahu cannot say no to anything Trump demands. Full stop. That sounds like a big statement. But it is 100% true. Add to this that the Israeli public has wanted this to be over for a long time. There’s simply no force for Netanyahu to fall back on. He can’t say no to Trump when Trump says he has to have something."
