This is how our system works. The government subsidizes corporate low wage work, and everyone pats themselves on the back for being so enormously virtuous, truly the most wonderful people ever to have graced the earth. The circuitous redist

Baffling version of history that somehow ignores the constitutional dimension. It's also a back-assward interpretation of how contemporary environmental law came into being. It's like a guy typing with one hand while pointing at t

It's odd that long after 70s-2000s post-modernism has been supplanted by hyper-racist activism in academia, Google finally produced a true technological engine for postmodern expression through the lens of this contemporary ideology. I
