Economic uncertainty and exploitative labor practices, increasing wealth gap and decreasing wages? Seems like a recipe for depression.

Our schools are basically prisons these days - we drill kids to get them ready for tests, we demand perfect obedience, and we give kids little to no space to be kids. We're also in…

Interesting to see hp hit the front page twice in one week, once for "hp is the most vile business and their executives should be in jail" and then moments later "ooh, pretty lapto…
