Five Points was once the worst neighborhood in the United States. It was razed and replaced with Columbus Park. Now its a safe center of the community in Manhattan's Chinatown. Gangs in Chicago were concentrated into a few high-rises o

The Qatari government is interested in playing both sides. They want to enforce their law while appearing modern to the international community. Therefore you won't hear about this in Qatari news media, although it seems they'll b

"Probably" seems the key word here. Many people have a slight preference for a policy with wide ranging ramifications. It's better to be unconvicted on matters that are inconsequential, like whether tea or coffee is the super

Nixon showed us it can and does go all the way to the top. "All the President's Men" is worth a watch to see how cheap it is to buy the country. The Committee to Reelect the President brought the Democratic frontrunner to tea

I was laid off during the covid crash, and was devastated. I spent a month recovering from burnout, then got started on making some money of my own with web apps. The apps were simple, but made enough money to pad my savings. They used brow
