This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.

The Sun-Times staff has already been downsized, seems plausible that the layoffs could have contributed to publishing the article by mistake. https://www.wbez.org/business/2025/03/18/chicago-sun-times-lose-20-staff-buyout-offer
