After it opened in 1829, Eastern State was, as it is now, a tourist [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[America’s cities are, by and large, bad: The easiest way to see this is to understand the primary reason why they’re so bad: crime. The big benefit of cities for countries is that they’re economic engines of progress due to agglomeration effects: benefits and cost-savings that appear because companies, services, and workers are geographically collocated [&#8230;]]]></description>

These devices automatically read license plates and make their locations available to law enforcement. Flock now also makes it possible to look up cars by their descriptions, rather than just [&#8230;]]]></description>

French authorities suppressed this fact for &#8216;social cohesion&#8217;. Grok suggests that much of this is documented, but any rapes are unconfirmed: Yes, the Bataclan [&#8230;]]]></description>
