Undercover in Laos: how Chinese tourism fuels animal trafficking – video
Chinese tourism is booming in Laos and the illegal wildlife trade is booming with it. Pangolin scales, rhino horn and elephant ivory are all being sold at secret shops and restaurants as a new high-speed rail line brings millions of visitors to the country. Working with Chinese activists, the Guardian goes undercover to investigate the criminal networks profiting from this trade and to reveal how wildlife trafficking is pushing the critically endangered pangolin ever closer to extinction

Christian anti-abortion & LGBTQ rights has no foundation—Southern Baptists passed a pro-abortion resolution in 1971, praised the Roe v.Wade decision through its own press service in 1973, and did not adopt a firmly anti-abortion position until a conservative faction seized control in the 1980s.

Card and Krueger's findings were a head-scratcher. And they began theorizing why a minimum wage would not kill jobs. And it re-energized interest in what was then a pretty fringe idea about the labor market: that it was full of employers who had monopsony power, or the ability to influence wages.
