I’ve reported at length about abuses of foreign farmworkers who come to the U.S. on H-2A visas: stolen wages, guns pointed in their faces. One woman I met was kidnapped, raped and nearly killed.
I wanted to know: How do I tell if the produce I buy is part of the problem? 👇

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

From what I can tell, there have been four players who have been suspended for domestic violence to play in an MLB game since 2024.
All four have been employed by the Pittsburgh Pirates during that timeframe.

I think Cherington has been trying to get fired for 3 years and now realizes the only way is to hurt Cutch.
- domestic violence charges
- offense dropped off massively last year
- makes the team worse defensively
- ends Cutch’s Pirates career

Oneil Cruz has just hit a 488-foot nuke in the Home Run Derby. Paul Skenes is starting the All-Star Game for the second year in a row. The Pirates are allowing the fewest runs per game in the National League.
The team is 39-58 and every fan of the franchise is ready to stop watching baseball

Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.
Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.
What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.
