The article we're discussing is a good source. Also, Brazil enacted a soy moratorium over ten years ago to combat deforestation. You're limiting your "surprise" to the US, but that…

I'm not arguing what the global problem is. Condition of the donated clothing is not referenced anywhere in the article. I'm arguing that what the author is saying is largely false…

"No One Wants Your Used Clothes Anymore" Notice that this is in the Opinion column. None of what's said here is even close to true. Plenty of people shop at their local Goodwill or…

If the lack of joy is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain it absolutely can be prescribed. Cliche nonsense or outdated Biblical advice actively hurts people in this case.
