I have sushi for lunch. Why isn't it lunchtime yet?

It turns out I have the best name ever.

I have leftover couscous with turkey bacon. Nummy.

Sophia, here's an article from Dissent critical of Zinn: [link]

And bookwise, Bob says Paul Johnson's A History of the American People is a direct response to Zinn that is supposed to be good.

Deregulation has been good in many cases such as the airlines, and telecommunications. Personally, I think deregulation of energy markets would probably be good if handled properly.

How so (for both a & b)? Deregulation seems to me to have been a hot mess almost everywhere.

It turns out I have the best name ever.

Huh. My name sucks, all because of that MySpace guy....

The man who created what will become the destroyer of the earth, better known as the addictive website MySpace. He is blamed by literally millions of people whenever an "unexpected error" occurs. Once enough (important) people become addicted to this site, society will become perpetually late and collapse in a horrendous, fiery explosion of death, destruction, and doom.

My dad would argue that deregulation ruined airlines.

How so (for both a & b)?

Flying did become much cheaper after deregulation. (That's about all I know on the subject.)

For erika. Rahm apologizes. [link]

I think there has been more economic volatility in the airline industry, but deregulation led to much lower prices, removed barriers to new airlines, and had no negative effect on safety (though the government is certainly still involved in airline safety).
