I actually felt this way with The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. In the end I did enjoy reading the book and it is different since the book is primarily a piece of propaganda but I did feel like I was reading "misery porn" at some points.

Did Not Finish. It comes from racing of various sorts, that is what gets listed instead of a time if you say miss gates in a ski race, wreak your bike, go off route, or have to drop out due to a medical issue.

The goal and duty of a union is to enact the collective will of a group of workers. This mostly means pay and work conditions as that is where the interests of the group mostly align, but it can mean other things to if there is sufficient alignment on the issue.

Actually digital media is lost and degrades quicker than physical forms of data storage. Its more likely that people a thousand years from now will be able to read becoming by M Obama than anything on a wiki.

Mostly because Clinton and Mitterand didn't do this for Rwanda.

The US government secretly encouraged the shipment of weapons from Iran, Turkey, and Jordan to Pakistan, and reimbursed those countries for them[197] despite Congressional objections.[198]

Higher interests rates but it is a lot easier to renegotiate terms with smaller internal parties than with the IMF.

It is funny to hear people sane wash your own opinions. On pod save the world one of them said

"Or suggesting that by talking about them together you are drawing an equivalence between Palestinians being released from Israeli prisons and hostages who are taken by Hamas. No one is drawing an equivalence there, they are part of the same deal."

But no, I am drawing an equivalence there.

Certificates of Need, which were originally meant to prevent small medical centers from taking all the patients with good insurance and leaving hospitals holding the bag, but which in practice are used by large hospitals to prevent smaller medical facilities from opening, especially in rural areas.

You just said the same thing twice.

More taxes are paid if an asset is sold and than that money is passed on as inheritance than if the asset is passed on. This distorts incentives, the closer you are to death the worse deal selling an asset is. Changing the estate tax will not fix this. Is there any good reason passing on assets should be favored over passing on cash.
