Buying a gun in America is easier than you think – this infographic by Kelli Anderson for Mayor Bloomberg, part of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns initiative, will give you pause.
Pair with a more human way to interpret the Second Amendment, more infographic gun myth-busting, and Stephen King’s indispensable essay on gun control.
By continuing to insist there is something special about companies that readily use 21st-century methods, we intoxicate our judgment about their value in the markets, and distract the businesses from focusing on their product and real competitors by contrasting them to inaccurate peers, valuing a media company at 99 times earnings, and comparing a business listing’s performance with that of a game maker. Comparing Yelp to Zynga is as appropriate to comparing Zagat to Hasbro.

White House Petition of the Day: Make Legislators Wear Logos of Corporate Backers
The latest brilliant idea to come out of We The People website is this petition suggesting that lawmakers should be required to be more transparent about their financial backers by wearing logos of their corporate “sponsors,” just like the NASCAR drivers do. As of Thursday evening, it has accrued more than 9,000 of the 100,000 signatures it needs to be formally addressed by the White House. GOOD magazine previously explored this idea with photoshopped mockups of New York Senator Charles Schumer and Florida Senator Marco Rubio donning logo patches of their contributors on their suits.
Hat tip goes to Dangerous Minds.
