The trickle-down effectâŚfrom the federal government, to state, and ultimately to local jurisdictions.
Wealth doesnât trickle down, but bad policy sure does.
Not sure where to post this. Some people seem to think this was a lynching.
Just watched The Skin Weâre In last night on CBC.
I donât have a link to watch it online right now, but you can read about it here:

This was very painful to watch.
There was a kid at my university who was found dead of an apparent suicide. I saw it in the paper and thought it was sad and not much beyond that, obviously wrapped up in my own business. Later I was talking to my coworker at the museum, whoâs like me: A university student whoâs interning there. Heâs black and brought it up while we were talking about the shady side of the town we live in. He was telling me that no one in the black community thinks it was a suicide. That his white frat brothers didnât show up for his funeral and that something stank to high heaven in the whole affair. His parents believe it was a lynching. I⌠have a hard fucking time not believing them the more I look into it. In a university town like this? Frats can get away with murder. The more I look into it, the more I donât know what to believe. People go into denial about suicide, that happens. But some of the old-school frats here⌠I donât put this past them. At all.
