The Story of Foreign Money in Armenia

This is a story about money. Lots and lots of money. Money that most people in Armenia have never seen but which has affected every last Armenian life.

The Problem with Social Media’s “Democratization of Discourse”

A major problem with the so-called democratization of discourse by Facebook and Twitter, is that ignoramuses inject the conversation/discussion/debate with nonsense so that, even if you’re able to parse through it yourself, others will inevitably be confused.
