This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I love that it helps you see how little of the welfare payments are going to the unemployed, since that’s the part that concerns people the most.

Classic Conservative tactic.
