When politicians and developers collude, no one’s property is safe

67% Right coverage: 3 sources

Is your home your castle? Not when eminent domain law lets politicians confiscate your property if they claim it’s for “public use.” Politicians say they need the power to take property to build public projects like roads and railroad tracks. OK. Seems reasonable. But now, developers collude with politicians to use the law unfairly, to force people to give up their land for private projects. In 1994, Donald Trump tried to use eminent domain to t…See the Story

Get Water That Tastes Like Cigarettes

Smoking tobacco used to be a completely mainstream activity. When I was in high school in the 90s, teachers had their own smoke-filled lounge. There was also an area of the campus known as the "gravel pit" where students were, at least unofficially, allowed to smoke.In the 70s, it was hard to convince people that tobacco was even dangerous, let alone attach a social stigma to the practice.
