Never seen it before, never even heard of the game FizzBuzz. But yes, this is similar to what had been thrown at me when I started this madness ~7 years ago.

For the sake of diversity, here is a version in SQF. Took about a minute. It's in SQF, because I was just doing some modding for Arma 3. Didn't bother testing it, too lazy to start up Steam and Arma again.

What killed a federal job guarantee in 1945? Jim Crow.

Check out page 7.

"The Full Employment Bill had potential to change the prevailing system of racial and labor relations premised on the subordination of African Americans. Consequently, the bill faced opposition from business and farm lobbies, who sought to replace the bill with one that was less threatening."

Also, get a load of its details:

“all Americans able to work and seeking work have the right to useful, remunerative, regular and full-time employment. And it is the policy of the United States to assure the existence at all times of sufficient employment opportunities to enable all Americans [...] to freely exercise this right.”

That's part of what I mean when I laugh at the notion that policy proposals by Sanders/Corbyn are "radical". A federal job guarantee was accepted mainstream in 1945, yet a living wage is considered pie-in-the-sky utopian madness in 2017.

The editing is irritating, but the content is pure Mosler: unemployment.

Would be interesting to see a comparative study of media coverage of Mosul and Aleppo.

VS's parser changed the link when it added a linebreak to the url.

"11e7" was converted to "11%3Cbr%20/%3E%20e7"

I've replaced it with the output of a link shortener, should work now.

Let this headline sink in for a second:
As opioid overdoses exact a higher price, communities ponder who should be saved

Just another instance of "Die faster, plebs!".

There's a reason we call it class warfare...

Too bad they don't have a seven-year-old girl with a certified Twitter account in Yemen...

Shitty title, good content on the Grenfell Tower inquiry.

Keeping a sealed pneumatic tube along the entire track? Sounds like a maintenance nightmare, to be honest. How do you switch rails? How do you get a stranded propulsion module off the track (can't just get a diesel locomotive to drag the thing, can you now)? What are the backup breaking systems for failures on those 10% grades?

I suppose this might at the very best be a niche thing, more so than the current Transrapid/Maglev system. Airport shuttles, maybe.
