Democracy, FDR reminded Americans again and again, was the best possible government. Thanks to armies made up of men and women from all races and ethnicities, the Allies won the war against fascism, and it seemed that democracy would dominate the world forever.

Why are companies allowed to purposefully harm?

The lawsuit spells out how many of these companies were once owned by Big Tobacco. They literally imported the same research, tactics, and even some of the same executives who made their careers convincing people that cigarettes weren’t harmful.

Hopefully we remember to give thanks for the good every day instead of taking it for granted.

What about gratitude for lessons learned?
