The British East India Company has taken Bengal after the Battle of Plassey and the wealth is draining out. The muslin weavers are being forced out of business. The Permanent Settlement locks land ownership into British-friendly landlord hands. The famine of 1770 killed a third of the population. The next famine is coming.

Regional/Cultural Day
Gyro Day
In Chicago, the gyro is a way of life. The meat is stacked on a vertical spit, shaved thin, and served on pita with tzatziki, tomato, onion, and fries. In Greektown, they have been doing this since the 1960s. The gyro is not Greek. It is Turkish (doner), which became Greek (gyro), which became American (the thing you order at 2 AM from a cart on the street).
