Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone
Taibbi writes: "Conservatives who get hysterical about the campus 'safe spaces' controversy should take a look at their own media-consumption habits.

Young writes: "A recent study suggests that more Americans would be emboldened to switch jobs if their access to health insurance wasn't tethered to their employers. This uniquely American system encourages so-called job lock, in which workers are fearful of migrating to potentially better-paying jobs out of fear of losing access to employer-subsidized access to medicine and doctor's visits."
