by Barry Brownstein

Like millions of viewers, you may have watched the viral video of a bagel shop customer having an epic meltdown after perceiving he was being mocked for his height by a female employee. When interviewed about his behavior, the man was unrepentant, insisting his history of rejection by women caused his poor conduct.

How Our Culture Disempowers Teens ([link removed] )

by Kerry McDonald

From rising compulsory schooling ages to rising minimum wages, we treat teens like toddlers and separate them from the genuine adult world they will soon join. Maybe we should give teenagers the freedom and opportunity to create their own scripts and witness the remarkable things they will do.

THE RULING APPEARS TO PAVE THE WAY FOR THE REMOVAL OF MOST OF THE REMAINING COMMUNIST MONUMENTS AND LANDMARKS BEARING SOVIET NAMES. IT ALSO PROHIBITS THE USE OF NAZI AND COMMUNIST SYMBOLS. ([link removed] )

Pretrial Publicity, Unconscious Bias, and the Court of Public Opinion ([link removed] )

by Aaron Pomerantz

Pre-trial publicity (PTP) has been shown to affect the very way we think about cases like these, imbuing decision-makers with latent, unconscious biases that affect how we perceive, process, and respond to the information we encounter.

THE FACT IS THAT WE ARE ALL SUBJECT TO HEURISTIC THINKING AND THE BIASES IT CAN GIVE US. ([link removed] )

Private Equity Is Essential to Entrepreneurship and the Fuel to Prosperity ([link removed] )

by Doug McCullough

Free enterprise is the engine of American prosperity; private capital is often the fuel to that engine. Unfortunately, presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren doesn’t see it this way. Warren hyperbolically calls PE firms “vampires” that engage in “legalized looting.”

ELIZABETH WARREN WANTS TO BURY PRIVATE EQUITY. HERE’S WHY THAT IS A BAD IDEA. ([link removed] )
