What isn’t dumped is stolen. Factories and homes have largely been stripped of anything of value, so thieves now target cars’ catalytic converters. Illiteracy runs at around 47%; half the adults in some areas are unemployed. In many neighbourhoods, the only sign of…

A thin veneer of civility has been peeled away with the excessive Black vitriol resulting from the Zimmerman verdict.
The era of good feelings between Blacks and Whites, built up both during and after the 60-80's Civil Rights movement, was initially put to a test with the Black jury verdict on the June 1994…

More than five years after the great recession hit, the US economy is still sputtering. The government revised GDP growth figures down last month to a meager 1.8% for the first quarter of this year. It doesn't take a PhD in economics to understand why: we have a demand problem. And we have a demand problem because the vast majority of consumers – aka workers – are not earning enough to pay for healthcare, education and retirement, let alone all the other stuff stores and service providers have…
