I'm always like, read the screen. But you know what? Sometimes they can't fucking see the screen. So you gotta get them a bigger screen. They also won't admit that they can't see the screen. So you're going to have to pick up on cues. If you find yourself saying over and over again, you know, read the screen. You see that on the screen? over in the right hand side of the screen. On the screen.

This shocking, historical true crime account brings to light the illegal activity that many people engaged in to make a living during the Great Depression: kidnapping

A chilling true crime book that chronicles the wave of abductions that terrorized the U.S. during the Great Depression, including the most infamous kidnapping case in American history.

The Great Depression was a time of desperation in America—parents struggled to feed their children and unemployment was at a record high. Adding to the lawlessness of the decade, thugs with submachine guns and corrupt law-enforcement officers ran rampant. But amidst this panic, there was one sure-fire way to make money, one used by criminals and resourceful civilians alike: kidnapping.

Jump into this forgotten history with Edgar Award-winning author David Stout as he explores the reports of missing people that inundated newspapers at the time. Learn the horrifying details of these abduction cases, from the methods used and the investigative processes to the personal histories of the culprits and victims. All of this culminates with the most infamous kidnapping in American history, the one that targeted an international celebrity and changed legislation forever: the Lindbergh kidnapping.

The Kidnap Years is a gritty, visceral, thoughtfully reported page-turner that chronicles the sweep of abductions that afflicted all corners of the country as desperate people were pushed to do the unthinkable. Fans of The Postman Always Rings Twice and other 30s and 40s American Noir crime novels will be fascinated by the true crime of the times.

These drivers are treated like shit. There is a reason why things are the way they are. I didn't get my package right away, but it's okay, because eventually I did and they just left it. They're asked to do much for way too little. Remember, it's the fuckers at the top that cause all of our problems. Don't blame the help.

I remember when I was younger and I was really learning about the capitalist system, but not from a communist point of view or a socialist point of view. I was just caught up with libertarianism and right-wing ideology and whatever, but nothing like it is today and I was learning about IBM and how they categorize the Jews in the camps. And then I realized all these corporations all have a legacy of brutality. There's more to all this, and people are just not strong enough to accept what's happening in our country. I'm a Libertarian Socialist.

As long as it's not owned by a douchebag and its open source and transparent, I don't give a fuck what you call it.

Remember to tell them what they want to hear and they will do the same but we all know it is just a game.

This is why I got my 70 year old mother on a frameworks laptop running pop OS. It looks like a Mac and she thinks its pretty. Switching cost is over hyped. Fuck big tech

I love France they take food and tradition seriously while at the same time their own government is afraid off them.
