The CODIS loci are 20 tandem repeat regions in the human genome which are used by the FBI for DNA identification. The CODIS database is a database of individual CODIS loci profiles maintained by the FBI. The CODIS loci need to be updated, as most of them are correlated with phenotype. Use of the CODIS database needs to be preemptively regulated to protect privacy and equity. (Emily Greenwald)

Leland Stanford and the Associates funded the transcontinental railroad by through speculation: (1) they bought cheap land before the railroad was built, then sold them when their value increased after being connected to the railroad, (2) they sold railroad bonds to East Coast capitalists, (3) they profited by manipulating the joint-stock subsidiaries they built around railroad construction, namely supply and land development companies. (Malcolm Harris)
Joint-stock companies allow capitalist "principals" to sell up to half their stock and double their effective capital (or more by starting subsidiary firms. This can be mutually beneficial for the principals and investors—this was the case for the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad—but destructive to the indigenous people whose land is stolen for the work and to the laborers who are exploited to ensure return on investment. Also, principals can move value between subsidiary firms at will, controlling who profits and when. (Malcolm Harris)

Eating disorders have a historical basis in gender (rejection of men via co-option of divinity, "choice" of physical struggle over interpersonal abuse, link to impaired menstruation), race (18th and 19th century U.S. enslavers were sexually violent toward enslaved Black women, so white beauty standard moved toward thinness as "safe" body type), and class (though this affects people of all classes; see: Princess Diana); often linked to struggles w/ control (Moe Black)
