I get it, but I would be cautious in making it look like the war on drug was created just/mostly because of racism, because something very similar happened even in countries where that wasn't a reason.

I'm pretty sure that the number of guns really doesn't help. If I were a police officer, I would be much more nervous in the US than most of Europe (to make an example).

The word is trust only because of historical reasons. At the time when this became an issue, companies couldn't operate across US state borders. The solution was to create trusts which owned the various branches created in each state.

"what's charged abroad" includes poor countries that will never be able to afford prices comparable to the US. Companies are able to make money in those markets too, as long as the marginal cost of production is lower than th

Interest rates now are incredibly low because central banks are keeping them low in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis. But the fact that our economies need such incredibly low interest rates to generate growth isn't good at all. What wi

Airlines are forced to certificate their pilots for the plane they're going to fly. How many lives have been saved by this regulation, in comparison with those which were lost because Boeing tried to cheat at said regulation? Ignoring
