Presumably if the state is functioning well and redistributing wealth, it is the poor who benefit more of the state's increased revenue. Perhaps not in America.

It seems to me that time could run backward and it would not make any difference to an observer, and the universe could alternate between running backward or forward and that would be the same to us, cause and effects would be reversed but

Entertaining piece, the writing is very good. But the author was honest enough to tell us he had no problem lying at anytime when working as a salesman, so I take this article as a work of fiction (although I am sure that part, or perhaps m

"On average, a billionaire’s investment portfolio is almost twice as polluting as an investment in the S&P 500". That is very interesting. However, I don't think their investment should really count (or at least not total

As a vegan, I have mixed feelings about that. “We had to stand back and ask ourselves, ‘Did that calf die because we could not care for it?’” she says. “It wasn’t ethical.” I'm not sure it's much more ethical to send the calf to t

It doesn't seem like he was killed, or at least the article doesn't mention it. He may have poisoned himself (if found ornamented)? Very sad anyway.

As a french I have never heard of anyone considering a burger as a snack, like a bag of chips, and not as a meal. Do you use a burger as a side to something else? Like you would eat it with a kebab instead of fries? Or is it the same for th
