Mother Jones - May/June 2022

この問題で

Welcome to Private Equity City, where billionaires have gutted businesses and whole industries for profit. Reporters Hannah Levintova and Ian Gordon assemble an array of stories that reveal all in “Smash-and-Grab Economy,” and a local delivery co-op takes on Big Tech in “Door Dashed.” Can hopeful books tame climate anxiety? Jason Plautz answers it in “Once Upon a Planet” by exploring mental health research aimed at helping kids. In “Lessons Not Learned,” Mark Follman takes a page from his new book, “Trigger Points,” to explain how behavioral threat assessment can stop the next school massacre. The photography by Devin Yalkin heightens Jasper Craven’s investigation into the lives and traumas of cadets at Valley Forge Military Academy in “A Few Good Men,” discovering that the school gets its promise—to break down cadets and build them back better only half right. Kiera Butler takes the word “endemic” for a spin in “Mother Tongue,” explaining how the scientific label has been used to mask political choices.
