Are there any non-crazy arguments against cultural appropriation?
Of all the crazy ideas to come out of the left, the hysteria over cultural appropriation seems the most “Onion-like”, i.e. most like a parody in the Onion newspaper. It’s not like rent controls or the minimum wage, where I see their point but respectfully disagree. It just seems crazy. Maybe that’s because I am of a generation that grew up celebrating cultural appropriation as the hippest of all lifestyles. I can’t imagine my life without the music of Dylan, the Stones and Led Zep, all of whom culturally appropriated black music on a massive scale.

3 Top Tech Stocks Under $20
A common mistake new investors make is assuming that a stock’s price defines how “cheap” or “expensive” it is. In reality, a stock that trades at $10 can be expensive, but a stock that trades at $100 might be cheap — since valuations define a stock’s actual value.
Nonetheless, some investors prefer buying stocks with lower price tags, so they can buy them in “even lots” of 100 shares that are easier to track. For example, an investor who buys 100 shares of a $20 stock will make $1,000 if the stock hits $30.
