A History of Trying Not to Be Bad
According to Socrates – ancient philosopher and recurring figure in Plato’s works – when someone does something wrong, the dispute is never really about whether or not it was wrong.

Higher Paid Workers with Those Fries?
Public pressure for an increased minimum wage advanced last month, with a lawsuit filed in Maricopa County April 14 on behalf of the Flagstaff Living Wage Coalition and a nationwide Fight for $15 rally held April 15 at McDonald’s and other businesses in 230 larger cities.
