More than 80% of Americans say we should stop. Why don’t we?Sources:https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/presidential-election-1876https://www.npr.org/2018/09/11/645270955/god-bless-the-u-s-a-a-country-anthem-wit...

    Silk Road = Evil Amazon. | Election Texts. | The Dr. (Pepper) Is In.

    The dark web is a largely unregulated version of the internet where many kinds of questionable things go on. Much like Amazon, the dark web even has its own marketplace.

For the last 140 years, Dr. Pepper has been popular, but never been able to crack the top two in soda sales, the domain of Coke and Pepsi,...

    Lawyer Advertising Legalities. | Economics of Gift Cards. | Birth of the Chicken Tender.

    It’s hard to go on a busy highway without seeing a billboard for an accident lawyer. Is it legal to advertise such a service? Well, it hasn’t always been. Gift cards are big business. We are good at buying them but not always so good at using them. Chicken tenders are one of the most popular foods in America. One city wants all the credit.
