NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST, NPR, AND KIRKUS REVIEWS A scathing portrait of an urgent new American crisisOver the last two decades, America has been falling deeper and deeper into a statistical mystery: Poverty goes up. Crime goes down. The prison population doubles.
Fraud by the rich wipes out 40 percent of the world's wealth. The rich get massively richer. No one goes to jail. In search of a solution, journalist Matt Taibbi discovered the Divide, the seam in American life where our two most troubling trends--growing wealth inequality and mass incarceration--come together, driven by a dramatic shift in American citizenship: Our basic rights are now determined by our wealth or poverty. The Divide is what allows massively destructive fraud by the hyperwealthy to go unpunished, while turning poverty itself into a crime--but it's impossible to see until you look at these two alarming trends side by side. In The Divide, Matt Taibbi takes readers on a galvanizing journey through both sides of our new system of justice--the fun-house-mirror worlds of the untouchably wealthy and the criminalized poor. He uncovers the startling looting that preceded the financial collapse; a wild conspiracy of billionaire hedge fund managers to destroy a company through dirty tricks; and the story of a whistleblower who gets in the way of the largest banks in America, only to find herself in the crosshairs. On the other side of the Divide, Taibbi takes us to the front lines of the immigrant dragnet; into the newly punitive welfare system which treats its beneficiaries as thieves; and deep inside the stop-and-frisk world, where standing in front of your own home has become an arrestable offense. As he narrates these incredible stories, he draws out and analyzes their common source: a perverse new standard of justice, based on a radical, disturbing new vision of civil rights. Through astonishing--and enraging--accounts of the high-stakes capers of the wealthy and nightmare stories of regular people caught in the Divide's punishing logic, Taibbi lays bare one of the greatest challenges we face in contemporary American life: surviving a system that devours the lives of the poor, turns a blind eye to the destructive crimes of the wealthy, and implicates us all. Praise for The Divide
"Ambitious . . . deeply reported, highly compelling . . . impossible to put down."--The New York Times Book Review "These are the stories that will keep you up at night. . . . The Divide is not just a report from the new America; it is advocacy journalism at its finest."--Los Angeles Times "Taibbi is a relentless investigative reporter. He takes readers inside not only investment banks, hedge funds and the blood sport of short-sellers, but into the lives of the needy, minorities, street drifters and illegal immigrants. . . . The Divide is an important book. Its documentation is powerful and shocking."--The Washington Post "Captivating . . . The Divide enshrines its author's position as one of the most important voices in contemporary American journalism."--The Independent (UK) "Taibbi is] perhaps the greatest reporter on Wall Street's crimes in the modern era."--Salon

Best heat tape I've found
Size: 20mm X 33m
This is the only tape I purchase for my sublimation crafts, mainly because it just functionally works. The tape is durable and adheres well to the substrate. This tape doesn't leave a residue like other heat tape I've purchased. Easy to use, as the tape dispenser I have for crafting cuts the tape automatically for you when you advance the tape from the dispenser. My dispenser holds 2 rolls at a time, and since I get 4 rolls with my purchase, it is economical.

Best heat tape
Size: 10mm X 33m
I recently switched to this heat tape, and it has exceeded all my expectations. It is by far the best I’ve ever used, leaving no residue behind and no yellow coloring on the surface, unlike the brown heat tape I previously used. Since making the change, I’ve never considered purchasing anything else. The tape fits perfectly on my dispenser, which is a convenient feature. Additionally, it lasts quite a while, ensuring that I get my money’s worth. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient heat tape solution.

Wonderful
Size: 20mm X 33m
I love this kind of sublimation tape. I have used this kind for years, and of course different sizes depending on what I am making. When I first started out with sublimation, I use the amber sublimation tape that came with certain products that you start off buying. I started off with tumblers and used this amber tape to tape down my seams, wow, much to my discuss the amber tape left its color on my tumblers. I was discussed and it was just not one, but about 3 of them. It took me another 2 hours to peel off all the sublimation pictures and the amber tape to have to redo many many tumblers. I found out then, that this has happened to many other people (facebook, pintrest, etc) and switched over then to this tape and have never use another color but clear tape.
I have even had to take this tape off the sub pic when I did not get it lined up correctly and it did not tear the sub pic or do any other damage and I could reuse the same piece that I started with. Won't buy anything else
