there's an interview with graeber about the book that covers a good deal of the book's content pretty succinctly:

for more like this, cal flyn's "islands of abandonment" is an interesting read featuring several surprising example of how ecosystems have adapted to varying levels of human destruction

Wilson Hall is the total opposite of depressing for me. Especially the interior is quite beautiful:

The art and architecture around the lab has a surprisingly rich history dating back to its first director who was also a sculptor/artist: https://history.fnal.gov/historical/art_arch/art_architectur...

Miami Vice has acquired a pretty substantial cult following in recent years, and among the people i know who are "into" Mann, it pretty commonly ranks as their favorite as well.

Did the Dominican Republic have to pay outrageous reparations to their former enslavers? You know, the thing this article was about?

The article is about Haitian slaves having to pay reparations to their enslavers. Nobody brought up reparations being paid to slaves except you.

pretty interesting that nowhere in the article does it mention that any of these CEOs have tried, say, offering higher compensation/better benefits compared to similar remote-friendly jobs.

when i see "at their wits' end" i take that to mean "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"
