No, You're Not Crazy. Everything IS More Expensive. This Is Why.

Everything costs more, inflation is rampant, and monopolies are largely to blame. Despite the fact that we have effective anti-trust laws on the books, they haven't been enforced in over 4 decades, allowing for the conglomeration of all major industries in the United States. This means that everything here is more expensive than it is in other similar countries. That's a problem. This is how anti-trust laws will save us all.

They’re Coming for Contraception Next

After Alabama’s recent IVF ban and the ongoing debate over abortion and mifepristone, the conversation has shifted. Conservatives aren’t just going for abortion. They won’t stop until all our rights under the 14th amendment (marriage equality, contraception, and more) are gone, too.

From the Archive: Why the US is Still Segregated

Every single city in the United States is still largely segregated by race. But this isn't just because of coincidence or personal preference. It is because of a systematic, government-sanctioned process over the course of the 20th century that forced Black Americans into low quality, over-crowded housing, and barred them from receiving financing or assistance to buy the few homes that were available to them. We can still see the effects of this state-sanctioned segregation to this day. Let's learn about this in the context of the important Supreme Court decision Shelley v. Kraemer.   Try 5 pairs of glasses at home for free at http://warbyparker.com/leeja !
