One of the Greatest Environmental Crimes of the 20th Century - Marginal REVOLUTION

This is so very sad and so very true. It is a story of how the need to tick a box wiped out a species.

Dr. King as a founding fater. I like it.

Segregation Is Back, and It's Coming From the Left

Integration used to be a major goal of the civil rights movement. But today, resegregation is the growing trend—particularly on college

It will lead to every group of everybody wanting some representative called a founding father, but not for  at least fifteen minutes.

I read this whole interview (the part above anyway and it spoke to me. How did we get along so long in America being a melting pot?  Well, we didn't We hated each other and we said we hated each other and those people died off and new people came up and still hated each other, but not as much or as many.

British politics is broken — and about to get a lot worse - CapX

That sound you hear is the clattering of tumbrils laden with politicians who long ago exhausted the public’s patience. These elections to the European Parliament are going to be a massacre; a moment...

Post-Brexit Britain to pre-Brexit Britain. Hold my pint.

I don't know. I bet the Brits will handle it just fine.

China has dominated the steel industry world wide

If you say a time while talking to Congress and get the second wrong you are lying to Congress. If you say someone's name and just flub your are lying to Congress.

Brexit Betrayal: May Opens Door to Second Referendum

Apparently having failed to learn the lesson of her party being trounced in the polls by Nigel Farage's Brexit Party, British Prime Minister Theresa

I am not even British, but I'm very tired of their government trying to screw the people in the UK out of their previous/current decision. If you think the people of the UK will believe/obey the second referendum any more than the first, you are delusional. it doesn't matter what vote comes from the second referendum, the other half will be pissed.

Fed Judge Who Ruled Trump Has To Turn Over His Financial Records Dems Was Obama/Biden Donor

Who would have guessed? [...]

Why would a judge even make political donations? That can only be used against them at some point. I mean they are part of society and need to be humans, but this kind of crap will only bite them in the ass at some point.

Lies are a commodity

Fake news travels six times faster than the truth on Twitter | New Scientist
