I'd imagine it would be along the same lines of what movies / studios get to shoot in certain cities -- relief from various tax types, priority in various permits, etc

Maybe it's just me but I found the constant in-line plugs for the book to be distracting -- footnotes would have been better. Interesting write-up though

Most of the trainings that I've gotten for active shooter-type events (gov't employee; they're frequent these days) advises you to silence your phone since the first thing that's gonna happen when the news shows up is ev

Ok I understand even less now -- the drunk kid that shoves a bottle rocket up his butt while partying with friends is at fault unless he is in a building owned by a fraternity due to the organizing principles of the fraternity? As the artic

As a former employee of a fraternity I read this whole thing, and am confused about its point. I guess the author was trying for "Fraternities are bad because bad things happen to people that visit them" but all of the cited case
