So, are we ready to talk about this clear pattern: wholesale gutting of federal $$ to the economy and removing all the individual protections - a return to 1929 America - so that when their nightmare corporate debt problem explodes, they can pass all the losses onto the people of the US? #CLO

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

Surface area is surprisingly interesting. Chemists like nanoparticles. Reactivity happens at the surface, and nanoparticles maximize how much surface is exposed...millions of times more than a single particle of the same mass. But reactivity at the surface isn't limited to a beaker. 1/3
