Back here for a second to commemorate getting my official PACER settlement notice. Man, those are a lot of credit card statements to pour through (pacer doesn't keep account data).
#IRE18 can we discuss the PACER class action? In the meantime, reloadable PACER gift cards for the journalist in your life. Because I spend more on 'public access' than utilities.

Hideous.
The average employee of @TheEconomist would drop dead of exhaustion if they put in the average day’s work of someone in Colombia, Guatemala, Haiti or Mexico. This is foul, outdated, racist tripe & that it made it through the editing process speaks of a problem in our industry.
