Reagan won. At least his policies got what he wanted. He probably did love this country but didn't consider the consequences.

If Russia wants to hurt the U.S., why bother with so nebulous a tool as election tampering? Why should North Korea bother with expensive nuclear weapons to harm the U.S., not that the strategies are exclusive? Just produce cheap opioids and

I agree with the article but put it differently. To say exercise lowers depression, disease, and death normalizes inactivity. You can define normal how you want, but I prefer to think of exercise as normal and that lack of it contributes to

The review implies the people and culture caused economic growth. I'd say they resulted from it, which resulted from two oceans and friendly neighbors that make the country difficult to invade, fertile soil, lots of natural resources.
