We Are Asking for a 'Fair Shake' on Donations
We never believed that all the readers would donate all the time, nor do we expect it. We absolutely understand that extenuating circumstances happen. But less than 1% of the subscribers donating? That's not right or fair. We have no choice but to stand up and protest that. RSN was in fact built entirely with public funding. It's worth preserving.
Give us a hand once in a while.

Poor Wages Send a Third of US Manufacturing Workers to Welfare Lines in Order to Pay for Food, Healthcare, Data Show
Angelo Young, International Business Times
Young writes: "U.S. manufacturing jobs used to be a path to the middle class for Americans who couldn't or didn't dive into the comfort provided by higher education degrees. But now many skilled, working Americans need some form of public assistance because their wages don't pay for basic living expenses."

What Happens When Fashion Becomes Fast, Disposable and Cheap?
Zhai Yun Tan, NPR
Tan writes: "When it comes to clothes these days, maybe you should ask: What's your waste size? You know you have those clothes sitting in your closet: That shirt you spent less than $10 on because it looked cool for a second, or that skirt you only wore once before it went out of fashion."

According to the letter, Hudson ranks as 'one of the top three detention facilities with the most human and civil rights complaints.'"

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff Suspended in Push Toward Impeachment
Nick Miroff and Dom Phillips, The Washington Post
Excerpt: "Rousseff, 68, is one of the few top Brazilian political figures not under suspicion of bribe-taking or other corruption, although her party is accused of involvement in dirty deals. That difference had emboldened Rousseff's defenders and raised doubts among international observers about the legitimacy of the impeachment effort."
