What caused the Great Depression?

Most people would say the stock market crash of 1929. That was probably the No. 1 factor, but the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made it worse. The act raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods by almost 60%. /1

In 1879, tens of thousands of African Americans moved from the South to the West, primarily Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado. The โ€œExodustersโ€ sought safety, voting rights and land, viewing Kansas as a promised land due to its history as a free state. /1

Discrimination is inevitably in this scenario. Race-based pricing, gender-based pricing, age-based pricing.

Itโ€™s a nightmare

Makes sense, I read on Blind that they laid off 70% of the engineering team.

That would fit with cancelling a bunch of projects.

Itโ€™s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. Iโ€™m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Neil Sedaka, โ€œBreaking Up Is Hard to Doโ€ and โ€œLaughter in the Rainโ€ Singer-Songwriter, Dies at 86 The Brooklynite's esteemed body of work also includes "Calendar Girl," "Oh! Carol," "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Where the Boys Are," "Bad Blood" and "Solitaire."

Neil Sedaka was so talented, and he inspired me to follow my dream of being a songwriter.

With love and gratitude and condolences to his family.

My Jewish grandparents had arrived in Philadelphia from Ukraine 1918-1922, Grandma from the famine in Odessa. So it seems insane that 13 years later people thought it was a good plan to head over for work.

I knew there was interest from famous people, like Paul Robeson wanted to find a less racist country to raise his family in. ( didnโ€™t work out) Had no idea such big numbers tried it too.

Today is #RareDiseaseDay. Each rare disease affects only a small number of individuals, but together they affect millions of families worldwide. Rare diseases are often invisible in society and in funding systems, but for the families living with them they are everything.
