Great read — this is a struggle most, if not all, non-bleached (appropriating your bleached-yoga phrase, which I LOVED :)) deal with. Thanks for sharing and articulating it.

Interesting …. but, widely reported and frankly irrelevant. Extend this ‘bitter taste’ theory a bit.

• Which company helped Nazis with a system to keep track of individual Jews across countries? Was it done manually?
• How did Nazi money flow worked across countries and in multiple currencies…

Impressive and properly researched article. I had intended to browse through, but found myself carefully reading and digesting the content — one para, or sometimes one sentence at a time. Thanks for writing this.

Ummm … no. You get hate for being ‘pro' unsubstantiated, provable, detached from reality, grandiose self praise! On a second thought, that does describe Trump.

Anyways, as someone has pointed out, economy was NOT booming! Stock market was booming for the rich Americans

Haha … I recently had similar ‘discussion’. My point was why do we think that the moment govt get involved, US of A will become like Venezuela? Why can’t the American Spirit and American Exceptionalism will make us similar to European countries?

Yep, there was a detailed account of how the Nazi past of America’s Missile Man was carefully ignored and whitewashed — at least until he served his purpose. And after we got what we wanted from him, articles started appearing in news about his past :(

Hahahahahahaha …. you conveniently forget to mention another difference.

“The Swedish health care system is mainly government-funded, universal for all citizens and decentralized, although private health care also exists.”

Really, I would love to! Because in India I used to ride an elephant to go to school or to a vegetable market. Not while playing with other kids though ~ elephants are too big! On a play ground, we used to ride on bulls, or cows if bulls were busy. Only occasionally, we were allowed to play on actual ground … because there were snakes everywhere. So…

Vulgar? Yes.

Un-American? since when and by whose criteria? That’s expected (or even desired) outcome when work is deemed essential, but workers are not.
