Before we get to your top 5 for the week, did you know that the grocery store (the GOAT, don’t @ me) Wegmans has a musical. Feast yer eyes:
“The Upside of Populism” (Foreign Policy Magazine)
Because, here’s a positive article on populism! Who would have thought?
“Is is time for American cities to stop growing?” (Vox)
Because gentrification is bad for everyone. Who would have thought?
“‘Pottymouth’: Trump presides over a coarsening of American politics” (Washington Post)
Because some of the most recent rallies have gone even further on language than before, and pretty soon, there won’t be any turning back.
“How Unpredictable Work Hours Turn Families Upside Down” (New York Times)
Because low-wage, low-income jobs expect superhuman abilities from its workers.
“WeWork shows the absurdity of American CEO compensation” (The Week)
Because what CEOs are paid doesn’t make sense at all, even in capitalism.
BONUS: “Read Barack Obama’s Euology for Elijah Cummings” (The Atlantic)
