It is sad that natives to a land are getting their land taken away when they already have enough issues as is like students failing and living in poor housing conditions.

This is a very powerful article. I didn't realize annexation was still practiced however I suppose the idea of imminent domain can be considered modern day annexation. Very sad to see it's practiced mostly on the less fortunate or minority groups.

Native people are the foundation of this country and it is not fair that the government feels that they have the right to take something that wasn't theirs to begin with.

Wow, great find! I have three children and my husband and I are always trying to teach them just about everything listed in this article. Years ago many of those things were taught in some degree. Now it seems like they don't touch much on these at all. I know there are classes when you are older you can go too, but I think all of these subject could be taught to some degree in the classroom setting. I also think that if they were maybe our economy would be better, because our future adult citizens (kids in school) will have a better understanding of what it takes and how to get a head to be a responsible citizen.

I personally did not know that this was happening right now, but it unfortunately makes sense because it is in such high demands. I do not think that they should be doing that & its awful that if someone can't pay for these drugs, they have a potential of losing their life, which should not be a problem.

Of course big pharma would do this. By raising prices of these drugs, pharmaceutical companies are effectively making it more difficult for people with other healthcare conditions to afford these drugs. As an example, with the price of Ativan increasing, this may result in people who suffer from panic disorder to have difficulty affording a medication that they have a need for.

As sad as this is, it's truly not surprising. Our society is so based on how much money someone does or doesn't have and companies will take advantage of it. Especially with the pandemic and the uncertainty of what helps, this is sickening.

Wow, that is definitely not good

This is extremely sad to hear especially because it seem like they are taking advantage of the pandemic but I also agree that it could because it is in high demand with our current situation.

This is extremely sad to hear. On one hand it seems like companies are taking advantage with the pandemic but on the other hand because I also agree that with our current situation it could be these products are in very high demand.

I enjoyed reading this article because it was very informative. Not only did the article provide statistics in regards to how much water we need for our everyday food intake but it also allows the reader to understand how much money is put into making that food for us to eat. It focuses on the fact that switching to a vegan like or vegetarian diet worldwide would be significantly beneficial to our growing population.

This article had interesting but scary statistics. Especially the statistic on how much water it takes to produce certain food items. I never realized just how much water society uses to function. In addition, humans are reaching the carrying capacity of the world far too fast. The author makes good suggestions for how to fix this issue. The solutions are not only answering the problem of a food shortage but also climate change.

I do feel that states should have people at a certain age be tested more often. I work in Sun City and almost everyday I see an accident or someone driving where they should not be driving.

I think that once you get to a certain age that if you still want to drive you should be required to get tested again to be sure that you will be okay out on the road, its nothing against older people driving its more of a safety issue and I see that in this article. More frequent testing is the right move for the states that are starting to require that. Hopefully soon that will show all over America.

Drinking and driving is very common in today's society. I like this article because not only does it provide facts about faculties, but also provided a visual emotional touch while reading. People are effected everyday due to someone driving under the influence or while intoxicated. It's good we have things like Uber, taxi's, and buses that help lead away from driving drunk, which in return will lead to safer roads.

It's still upsetting to me how much of a problem this is in society. It's not anything new yet it still hasn't been stopped and that needs to change.
