I remember those "love it or leave it" years well.

21st century Tulip Mania.

He will get sued and lose the house likely.

The guy has a PhD but writes like a BuzzFeed writer.

Unreadable.

IIRC The Wire had an accurate description of its use as an interogation tool (note I did not say investigative tool).

Bombs were bombs a hundred years ago and they will still be bombs in 2118.
