I don’t think either of that works. The thing is that the prostitutes in the west were in an unique situation because they were basically the only women and that gave them power. They could charge fair prices for heir services & so some of them became some of the wealthiest individuals in the state. In today’s…

Women in Wyoming could also vote before the rest of the US and the first female governor was in Wyoming. “Adam Ruins everything” has an interesting episode about “how prositutes settled the Wild West” and how it influenced attitudes and influence of women in those states.

Do you seriously believe that they couldn’t find someone who is both a good writer and African-American? Particularly in a city in which the majority of the population is African-American? The reality is that they likely had suitable African-American applicants but chose white ones over them. And they would say that…

It wouldn’t help because I am very sure that he would only see it as a power play and think adapting ones behaviour to not make the other person uncomfortable would be weak.

What? Abe a cool guy? Seriously? He is neither a nice guy (which I think you meant) nor is he cool. He’s right-wing, conservative, hawkish. on the plus side, he is somewhat competent and not insane, which makes him almost decent in Trump times.

He might be smart, but as someone with all the privilege in the world he might have totally missed how this would be received outside of his circles.

Dementia. Also, he went bankrupt how many times?

How gorgeous are they!

Stillbirth certificates.

Ted Cruz too, no?

I don’t get the unless farm work exception. Should a under 10 year old really do work that requires them to use a potential dangerous machine?

But a significant part of the US population is also black, are you also surprised how us Americans can be racist?

If that was the case he could have said something like, “yeah, my family are horrible racists, I am making fun of their racism, not excusing it” instead of throwing a tantrum and insulting a woman who was understandably upset.

Nor did the murder of Jo Cox or the burning of mosques and probably a lot more we don’t remember because they actually were underreport because the attackers weren’t Muslim/brown

I have been saying that all the time!

I feel like they should have photoshopped trumps face on George

The economist just had an article that showed that when in the 1960s Kennedy ended the bracero program (which meant less Mexican workers) instead of hiring more Americans the farmers bought more machines. And in California farmers are now switching to less labour intensive crops.

There is an article in the economist where they argue that when Kennedy ended the bracero program in the 1960s (which meant less Mexican workers) wages didn’t go up and a reason was that instead of hiring more Americans farmers bought more machines. And right now in California farmers are switching from Labour…

Well, genocide was something that only emerged between 1939 and 1942 as the plan or so (“the origins of the final solution” is a good book to get an idea how and when genocide became seen as an option), so that doesn’t work at all. Maybe you just meant antisemitism in general, but even then I think it is highly…

Do you seriously believe the Russian police doesn’t kill people all the time? Here is what the economist wrote about them:”THEY shoot, beat and torture civilians, confiscate businesses and take hostages. They are feared and distrusted by two-thirds of the country. But they are not foreign occupiers, mercenaries or…
