1. HISTORY OF BAZAARS
A bazaar or souk is a marketplace consisting of many small stalls or shops, especially in the Middle East, the Balkans, and Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, North Africa, and South Asia. They were traditionally located on vaulted or covered streets with doors at each end and served as the central marketplace of a town. The word "souk" is roughly equivalent to the word "bazaar" in the Arabic-speaking world. The existence of bazaars or souks dates back to about 3000 BC (before Christ). That is, bazaars arose five thousand years (!) ago. [1]
The term "bazaar" is more general than "farmers' market." Farmers' markets are a small subset of bazaars.
2. 1929-1939: LIQUIDATION OF BAZAARS IN THE USA
The Great Depression of 1929-1939, as a global economic crisis, affected the United States the most. At that time, law enforcement agencies (FBI, police, and others) insisted on closing and eliminating the bazaar structure in the United States. The Central Bazaar in Washington, D.C., was one of the largest bazaars in the United States. It was destroyed in 1930. The U.S. Central Archives was later built in its place. ([3])
The FBI, police, and other law enforcement agencies achieved the elimination of the bazaar structure in the United States. In doing so, they abandoned five thousand years of human experience, which is bazaars. This was a fatal mistake.
Years passed, and the number of unemployed began to increase from year to year. In October 2024, the national unemployment rate in the United States was about 6.98 million unemployed ([4]). This is a tragedy for 6.98 million Americans and their loved ones. In the souls of other Americans, who see their tragedy every day, the fear of losing their jobs and ending up in the same poverty and lack of rights has settled.
3. CURRENT SITUATION
According to the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), from 1994 to 2019, the number of farmers markets has grown from 1,755 to 8,771 in 2019, an average annual growth rate of about 7 percent. [5]
The farmer’s market industry is expected to see revenue growth of an average of 7.5 percent over the five years through 2024, when revenues are expected to reach $1.4 billion. [6]
Unfortunately, existing farmers markets operate one to two days a week for four to six hours. And each farmer and his or her workers have to do a lot of work: they clean and pack produce into boxes and crates, load it into a truck, transport it to the point of sale, unload it from the truck, set up tents and stands, place the produce on the stands, and start selling. After 4-6 hours, they collect and pack the remaining products in boxes and cartons, load them into the car, and drive to their farm.
I have been selling the “Street Sense” newspaper at Dupont Circle Market and Eastern Market since 2012 on Saturday and Sunday. I have seen their hard work many times on each market day. It is especially hard for them on cold and hot days, during rains and snows, strong winds.
It is known that the USA is located between two great oceans. Therefore, almost every day winds of varying strength blow. Farmers are forced to strengthen each tent frame with heavy weights.
The regulations of farmers' markets contain large restrictions and prohibitions. Since 2010, I have not seen at least one American selling a bag of potatoes or a box of fruits or vegetables at a farmers' market that he (she) grew in his (her) garden or vegetable plot.
4. A SIMPLE AND RELIABLE WAY
There is a simple and reliable way to sharply reduce the number of unemployed, and thereby stop the growth of the US national debt. To do this, it is necessary to recreate, revive the markets with a full working day throughout the territory of the United States. In my Proposal, the bazaars will work thirty days a month from morning until evening, like grocery stores (supermarkets). The farmer and/or the merchant will have a permanent place of trade and premises. He (she) will leave unsold products and goods in his (her) premises in the bazaar.
5. POSITIVE SIDES OF FARMERS' MARKETS AND BAZAARS
In this paragraph, I will list the positive sides only of farmers' markets, which are a small part of the bazaar. Naturally, all these positive sides also apply to bazaars.
1. Millions of unemployed and part-time workers in the United States will be provided with full-time work. If in each state an average of 20 thousand unemployed people is attracted to bazaar work, then in fifty states one million unemployed Americans will be employed.
2. Many farmers, as well as various small and medium-sized stores can additionally sell their goods at revived markets, bazaars.
3. One of the main problems is the sale of goods and products. Regular bazaars create great opportunities for the sale of goods and products.
4. The emergence of additional sales points for millions of people will stimulate the production of more goods for the bazaar. Many current unemployed and part-time workers will be involved in these jobs.
5. The unemployed will help with the transportation and sale of goods at the market.
6. The market structure does not require special education or qualifications, as in other professions. Young Americans and uneducated unemployed people can freely work in the market structure. There is no need to spend time and money on their training.
7. Currently, supermarkets in the USA buy only the best part of the crop from farmers. The middle and small part of the crop remains in the field. Farmers can sell this part of the crop through the bazaar, at reduced prices than in supermarkets.
8. The implementation of the "Revival of Bazaars" project at the first stage requires almost no expenses. The heads of districts and cities of the USA are required to allocate a convenient place for citizens and sufficient area for the bazaar. In the future, based on the existing infrastructure of the bazaar, convenient bazaar buildings can and should be designed and built for sellers and buyers.
9. You can follow the historical path of humanity: close one of the central streets of the city and create a bazaar there.
10. This project can be implemented (occur) in a short time in all cities and districts of the 50 US states and in the Washington, DC. Currently, on some days, often on Saturday and Sunday for 4-6 hours, tent trade is organized in cities and districts. It is necessary to allow such trade daily from morning to evening thirty days a month (one day a month - Sanitary Day).
11. The revived bazaars will not harm the existing system of grocery supermarkets. Those citizens who want supermarket products can continue to buy in the supermarket.
12. The sales tax will go to the state (state) treasury. This will enrich each state, and the United States as a whole.
13. Currently, the US government spends a lot of money to provide the unemployed with a living wage. Much of this spending will be economize.
There are other positive aspects of the project to revive bazaars called "Bazaars".
6. ANSWER TO DOUBTS
Some may express doubts: bazaars will only create tens or hundreds of thousands of jobs, not millions of jobs. Let us think about it.
Let us imagine that a bazaar system has been organized and a farmer has started selling a lot of agricultural products in several bazaars. In order to sell agricultural products for twelve months, the farmer needs to cultivate new agricultural lands and plant agricultural crops. He and his workers will not be able to cope with such a volume of work using the farmer's existing agricultural machinery. Some of them are outdated and need to be replaced. Thanks to good income from the bazaar, the farmer will start ordering tractors and various mechanisms from factories that produce agricultural machinery.
If five or six farmers have ordered such an order for agricultural machinery, then the agricultural machinery factory can sell from the warehouse or produce five or six tractors on its own. If farmers all over the United States start ordering tractors and agricultural machinery, the plant will be forced to contact the metallurgical plant and order the necessary types of metal in the form of sheets or blanks.
The agricultural machinery plant will also hire fitters, milling machine operators, and workers of other professions. They may order new machines from the machine tool plant. The metallurgical plant will also hire additional labor to fulfill the orders. In turn, the management of the metallurgical plant will contact the mining company with an order for the supply of additional metallurgical raw materials.
This is how the entire chain will begin to produce additional products, machines, sheets, blanks, and so on. Such an important chain of orders and their fulfillment will provide work for about one million workers and specialists. Add to this the jobs in millions of hectares of farmers and thousands of large and small markets throughout the United States, and we will end up with several million jobs.
7. CAUTION: CHINESE BUSINESS IN THE USA
Photo 4. Pell Street, New York. 2009. [7] I visited New York many times in 2015-2024. This and the neighboring streets still look like this with Chinese advertising hieroglyphs. In this area, there is a bus station between city buses, including to Washington, DC. They are served by Chinese pipel.
Photo 5. CHINATOWN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Chef making noodles in the window of a restaurant in Washington D.C. Chinatown. [8]
The Chinese skillfully used the absence of bazaars to accumulate initial capital: they organized the sale of fruits, vegetables, and even clothes in the center of US cities.
They also skillfully used the Covid-19 pandemic. Small business owners, such as cafes, restaurants, and so on, paid rent for many months, in the conditions of a pandemic and few customers. Their money almost ran out and they were forced to rent out these premises. The Chinese were waiting for this moment and one after another bought them and opened their own businesses. Now in the center of US cities, there are many cafes and shopping pavilions, the names of which are written in Chinese hieroglyphs (see photo 4 and 5).
In short, China is taking over business not only in foreign countries. They are actively doing this within the United States as well. In my opinion, the Chinese are planning to take over the sources of big business now, such as multi-story shopping malls...
The development of US bazaars will give millions of Americans the opportunity to do business in the bazaar, and thereby reduce Chinese business in the US.
8. FREEDOM IN THE BAZAAR
For a thousand years, most bazaars have been built according to the following principle: medium and small shops with permanent sellers are built and operate along the edges of the bazaar. In the middle of the bazaar and outside there are dozens, sometimes hundreds of trading stalls that are not assigned to anyone separately. Whoever arrives earlier has the right to take one of these stalls of their choice, pay a small tax for the stall provided for this one day and sell their goods. This is what ensures freedom of bazaar trade. If it is a food product, that is, fruits, vegetables, etc., then the seller must obtain permission from the bazaar laboratory employees.
Freedom of a farmers' market or bazaar should also include freedom to buy in bulk, sell in this or another bazaar. For example, strawberries and tomatoes ripen earlier in the southern states than in the northern ones. They are usually sold quite cheaply in the southern states. Individual businessmen can buy wholesale, load it into their trucks and transport it to northern cities, and even to Canada, and sell it there at higher prices. In Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, this is allowed, and many earn money by such honest work and provide for themselves and their families.
A businessman-transporter can sell in a northern city himself. He can also sell in small wholesale in boxes and bags to local resellers. As a result, in other bazaars, a certain number of people, especially young people and women, can earn money daily by buying in small wholesale and selling by the foot in this or a neighboring local bazaar. This is how tens and hundreds of thousands of citizens throughout the United States will be provided with work and income.
9. HISTORY OF THE EASTERN BAZAAR
If officials start assigning a specific stall to a specific vendor, the bazaar will become just another big store. The store officials will manage the vendors at their own discretion and eventually kill the free bazaar. As an example, I can give a short history of the Eastern Bazaar in the city of Washington.
"The first Eastern Bazaar was one of three public marketplaces included in Pierre L'Enfant's (1754-1825) plan for the city, in addition to the existing bazaars in Alexandria and Georgetown. The plan also called for a Central Bazaar and a Western Bazaar.
In 1805, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) issued a proclamation calling for the establishment of an Eastern Bazaar at 7th and L Streets SE, near the Navy Yard.
The current Eastern Bazaar was designed by Adolf Klass and has operated continuously as a public bazaar since 1873" [9]
The interior of the Eastern Bazaar building was converted into a kind of store many years ago. For this purpose, counters were installed on both sides of the hall and permanent sellers were placed behind them. Thus, the Eastern Bazaar was transformed into another large grocery store.
On Saturdays and Sundays, bazaar lines operate outside the Eastern Bazaar building from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. Various fruits, food, clothing and other goods are sold there.
Our task is to create conditions so that the Eastern Bazaar also functions from morning until evening for thirty days a month. In the future, it is necessary to build a large bazaar building with all the amenities for both sellers and buyers.
10. 2016: WHAT DID MR. DONALD TRUMP PROMISE?
Mr. Donald Trump told The Washington Post on April 3, 2016, that he could rid the United States of its $19 trillion debt in two terms as President. At a campaign stop in Wausau, Wisconsin, he warned that the United States was "sitting on a bubble right now that's going to burst." [10]
During President Trump's four years in office, the gross national debt has grown from $19.95 trillion to $27.75 trillion, an increase of $7.8 trillion (the public debt, a more economically significant measure of debt, has grown by $7.2 trillion over that period). [11]
Mr. Donald Trump has failed to reduce the national debt. Instead, he has added $7.8 trillion to the economic bubble from 2017 to 2021.
11. MR. JOE BIDEN TOO INCREASED THE DEBT
President Joe Biden increased the economic bubble by $7.25 trillion during 2021-2024, and it is over $35 trillion 258 billion as of August 25, 2024! [2]
"Below is a list of the largest foreign holders of U.S. Treasury securities as of June 2024:
Japan - $1,117.7 billion;
China - $780.2 billion;
United Kingdom - $741.5 billion;
Luxembourg - $384.2 billion;
Canada - $374.8 billion.
Cayman Islands - $319.4 billion;
Belgium - $318.0 billion;
Ireland - $308.0 billion;
France - $307.2 billion;
Switzerland - $287.1 billion;
Taiwan - $265.9 billion;
India - $241.9 billion;
Brazil - $227.0 billion;
Hong Kong - $220.6 billion;
Singapore - $219.3 billion;
others - $2,097.6 billion;
Total - $8,210.4 billion" [12], [13]

12. DEFAULT THREAT
One day, a default may occur, that is, failure to pay interest or principal on a debt obligation on time, and this large debt bubble will burst. The country and its 333 million people will be hit hard economically. The global economy will also be hit, since the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States in 2022 was $25.46 trillion, which is about 15% of the world's GDP. [14]
According to World Bank estimates, a country's public debt is considered problematic when it is equal to 77% of the country's annual GDP. The US public debt was 105.4 percent in 2019, and now - July 30, 2024, 137.4 percent of the US annual GDP [14]
The United States has the largest external debt in the world. The United States spends more than $875 billion a year on interest payments on its securities. For example, in 2023, it paid $875.5 billion [12]. It turns out that the American people are working for the development of other countries, including China ...
Meanwhile, the US national debt continues to grow. A further increase in the US national debt poses a great danger to the country's citizens due to a possible default. Such an increase in the national debt cannot last forever.
If the US defaults, China may become the main leader of the world's countries. This is dangerous for all countries and peoples of the world, including the US and Uzbekistan. In communist China, many do not believe in God. If they have planned something, no one can stop them. We see this in the persecution of millions of Uyghurs Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China.
13. WHO FEEDS WHOM?
For thousands of years, the people fed both themselves and the government. Usually, the government does not feed the people. Those governments that tried to feed the people inevitably failed. This is evidenced by the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Bolshevik leadership of the Soviet Union forcibly created a collective farm system in the 1930s, and tried to provide the people with cheap bread. Later, the government was unable to provide people with bread, and since 1963, it began to buy millions of tons of grain from the United States. Ultimately, the Soviet Union, having the largest territory in the world, collapsed and disintegrated into 15 independent states.
The US government allocates many millions of dollars annually to pay unemployment benefits to millions of US citizens and the salaries of numerous officials. This means that the US government feeds part of the population for many years. As a result, the US national debt as of February 20, 2025 amounted to more than 36 trillion 504 billion dollars and continues to grow by billions of dollars daily. In terms of each US resident, there is a debt of more than $ 107,258. [2]
14. TEMPORARY DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED
Currently, the government spends trillions of dollars to organize temporary jobs for millions of US citizens. For example, to repair buildings, roads, bridges, and so on. These jobs are temporary. After the repairs are completed, bridges and buildings are built, these people will again be unemployed.
In contrast, markets will provide work for many years, decades and centuries for the farmers and sellers themselves, their children, grandchildren and other hired people. This is proven by the thousand-year history of mankind.
15. THE WAY TO REDUCE THE NATIONAL DEBT
To reduce the national debt, we must find ways to reduce government spending. One of these ways is to revive the markets in the United States. This will provide most of the unemployed with jobs. They and their families will no longer receive assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, it provides assistance to people with low incomes and no income)
Today's unemployed will work at the markets and pay taxes. They will bring in billions of dollars in additional income to each state and country.
If we provide jobs for today's unemployed, most of them will have enough money to rent a house or apartment. As a result, the housing problem for millions of homeless people will be partially solved.
16. THE ATTITUDE OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
Some heads of law enforcement agencies (the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the police, and others) find it very convenient to keep the majority of the American people under threat of dismissal and unemployment. Therefore, they will be against the re-creation of bazaars in the USA.
“The USA leads in the number of prisoners in absolute terms - about 2.2 million people are behind bars. This is 25% of all prisoners on the planet (more than in the 35 largest European countries combined, and 40% more than in China), although the population of the USA is only 5% of the world's population (329 million people). Of these prisoners, about 71 thousand are minors. The maintenance of the penitentiary system costs US taxpayers $80 billion annually.” [15]
As of 2022, there were 1,808,100 prisoners in the United States. On average, there are 541 prisoners per 100,000 residents [16].
The police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have hundreds of thousands of employees and staff positions due to the 6.98 million unemployed and 1,808,100 people behind bars. Many crimes are committed due to unemployment in the United States.
By solving the problem of employing the unemployed in the markets, we will significantly reduce the number of crimes and the number of people behind bars. This will significantly reduce the number of law enforcement officers. Some of them will move to market structures to ensure law and order and the safety of citizens in the markets. They will be selected on a competitive basis. As a result, we will save billions of dollars more, which is spent on maintaining the prison system.
A sharp reduction in convicts will raise the authority of the United States in the international arena in the field of human rights.
17. WHERE TO REVIVE THE CENTRAL BAZAAR?
In the center of Washington, DC there are old two-three-story buildings that have exhausted their internal resources and have no historical value. The owners of several dozen private two-three-story houses located nearby should be offered new apartments in a multi-story building with all modern amenities. To do this, it is necessary to build one or two multi-story buildings to accommodate these families. Then demolish these dozens of two-three-story houses and build a modern, beautiful, large bazaar for residents and guests of the capital. It is necessary to provide a parking space for many cars or a multi-story garage near the Central Bazaar.
I would recommend building such a long bazaar that would start at one end and end at the other end of Washington, DC. Of course, such a long bazaar will be built in stages over five to ten years. The layout of the Washington, DC Central Bazaar should be planned so that in the future it stretches from one end of Washington, DC to the other. The commissioning of the first stage of the Central Bazaar should be covered with one color of paint. Therefore, seven parts of the long bazaar will be painted in seven colors, like the subway map in Washington, DC. This will make it easier for customers to navigate the long bazaar.
The Long Bazaar will be designed and built in stages over ten years. This will provide work for hundreds of designers for more than ten years. Moreover, it will provide permanent work for hundreds of thousands of builders and specialists on a US scale.
You can think about the option of a double roof. Under the first roof, there will be the bazaar itself and a thousand thousand buyers and sellers. Above the first roof, there will be fire safety services, anti-terrorist security and other necessary services. The workers of these services will also be protected in winter and summer from rain, snow and wind thanks to the second roof.
18. WORLD BAZAAR CENTER IN NEW YORK
In New York, a long bazaar can be built on Broadway. The total length of Broadway is 53 kilometers. The length of Broadway within the boundaries of New York City is 24 kilometers. [17]
Since 2009, two segments of Broadway - in the Times Square area, between 42nd and 47th Streets, as well as in the Herald Square area between 33rd and 35th are pedestrian zones and completely closed to traffic. [17]
This is where the New York covered bazaar can be built. In the future, if such a long-covered bazaar is liked by the residents and guests of New York, then the construction of the covered bazaar should be continued from one end of New York to the other.
Any bazaar, including the New York and Washington, DC bazaars, will perform not only commercial functions, but also a social function as a meeting place and a place for people to walk.
In New York, the bazaar can be built along Broadway, which is 24 kilometers long. As a result, it will become the longest bazaar in the world, and this fact will be included in the Guinness Book of Records. It can be called the "World Bazaar Center", similar to the name "World Trade Center" in New York.
19. LONG BAZAARS OF THE WORLD
“The Medina of Fez, Morocco, which includes numerous long market streets (e.g. Tala’a Kebira) and bazaar areas (e.g. Kissariat al-Kifah), was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. Al-Madina Souk in Aleppo is the largest covered historic market in the world, with an approximate length of 13 kilometers. It is part of the Ancient Aleppo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986 in Syria. The Bazaar complex in Tabriz, Iran, was listed by UNESCO in 2010. The Bazaar of Qaisiyariye in Lar, Iran, is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2007. Kemeralti Bazaar in Izmir was placed on tentative list in 2020.” [1]
I hope the long bazaars in Washington, DC and New York will be designed and built uniquely. Years will pass and these bazaars will be included in the UNESCO list.
20. HOW TO ENSURE FREEDOM OF THE BAZAAR?
To ensure freedom of the bazaar, it is necessary to fulfill the following requirements:
- some of the trading counters are free, that is, they are not assigned to someone separately;
- whoever came earlier has the right to occupy the counter of their choice and sell their goods.
The following organizational measures are appropriate:
- Adopt a separate program "Revival and support of bazaars" or simply "Bazaars".
- Study the experience of various countries in organizing bazaars, production, delivery and sale of fruits, vegetables, products and goods in bazaars.
- Develop a list of recommendations for better organization of the bazaar, including production, delivery and sale of fruits, vegetables, products, clothing and goods in bazaars.
The attitude of people in bazaars is one of the real manifestations of civil society. Therefore, it is appropriate to prepare annual reports on the state of bazaars in the US states and in countries around the world.
21. HOW IS IT IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
It is known that there are currently more than eight billion people living on Earth. In industrially underdeveloped countries, more than a billion people work in the bazaars and for the bazaar. They are provided with work, have more or less income, pay taxes to their state, provide for their family, children and are to some extent happy.
How are our unemployed fellow citizens worse off compared to them? Nothing.
Please, give them the opportunity to work in and for the bazaar, provide for themselves and their families financially, pay taxes to enrich their country - the USA, and not sit and wait for handouts from the authorities ...
By creating bazaars everywhere, we will put an end to the tragedy of 6.98 million unemployed Americans.
22. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY TO BECOME A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE LAUREATE
Which of the leaders will head and decide on the restoration of bazaars in the USA, and thereby provide work for millions of unemployed people, there is such a high probability: he will become the next Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
23. MY PROPOSALS
1. The President of the USA and the Vice President of the USA, please take the initiative to restore bazaars in the USA.
2. Senators and representatives of the US Congress, please take the initiative to create bazaars in your states.
24. THE PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT "FOR THE BAZAAR"
US citizens need to create initiative groups everywhere to restore bazaars and unite in the people's movement "For the Bazaar". And also vote in the elections for those candidates who support and do specific things to create and develop bazaars in the USA.
25. DO MILLIONS OF UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAPPINESS?
The fathers of US democracy wrote this in the Declaration of Independence.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” [18]
So, the 6.98 million unemployed people in the United States, including myself, have every right to be happy. To ensure these rights, the citizens of the United States have instituted a government that exercises its power with the consent of the governed. And let them take decisive measures to re-establish the bazaars and thereby provide work for all the unemployed in the United States.
26. A BRIEF HISTORY OF MY PROPOSAL ON BAZAARS
In 2012, I proposed to recreate the bazaars, create conditions for their thirty-day work from morning until evening, and thereby end unemployment in the United States. I wrote an Appeal to US President Barack Obama and senators, and published it in the Street Sense newspaper and on the websites where I work ([19]-[22]). They did not pay attention. The situation became complicated. The US national debt increased sharply.
I wrote them my proposal to recreate the bazaars during the presidential elections of 2016 and 2020. They again did not pay attention.
In the 2024 presidential elections, I took more serious steps to recreate the bazaars. I wrote an Appeal (letter) to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris about the need to restore the bazaars, seriously reduce unemployment and put an end to the growth of the national debt. There was no response. Perhaps someone blocked my mail.
I expanded my Appeal and wrote a long article of 25 paragraphs called "Unemployed, Bazaars and Elections". I translated it into English and emailed it to the management of the Washington Post newspaper, published in Washington. I don't know if my article reached them or not. I didn't receive any response.
On August 28, 2024, I sent my article to the editors of the Street Sense newspaper. Annemarie Cuccia, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, replied: "We can publish an article in the newspaper up to 1500 words long."
I suggested publishing a special issue of Street Sense dedicated to bazaars. I reminded them that in 2023, the newspaper published an issue dedicated to poetry. They didn't agree. I think someone didn't allow them to publish this article. On September 27, 2024, Ms. Annemarie Cuccia sent me a version of my article shortened by a factor of six and asked for my approval. She removed the most interesting and important critical facts from my article. I did not agree.
