    While I do love the fascinating story of this bond, this article bothers me not because of its content, but because it taught me that Blackrock is now the largest lender in America.

    They're also one of the biggest lenders to fossil fuel, crypto, and gun industries. This does not give me more feelgoods.

    Now I understand why most people are checked out of politics.

    That's pretty cool. Also the berm looked pretty small, kind of amazing that such a "small" chunk of dirt was so important because of the much larger area it protected. The allowed enforcement for making sure villages took care of their sections seemed pretty intense, flogging or even branding. Imagine if ATT could run around branding random citizens for not keeping their tree branches trimmed properly!
