"going on disability means you will not work, you will not get a raise, you will not get whatever meaning people get from work...you will be poor for the rest of your life. That's the deal. And it's a deal 14 million Americans have signed up for." apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/
Veo con tercio de satisfacción, un tercio de dolor, y otro de enojo que estos cartones míos viejitos siguen siendo actuales.
Luigi Zingales theorizes that North Italy’s amazing family enterprise-based manufacturing sector declined because when you had 7 kids to a woman you were likely to have one with the ability to take over the family business, not so much if it’s 1.1
Even with low numbers of kids you can see families where one of the kids is a complete screwup for no apparent reason. Two good parents living in a nice neighborhood, one kid succeeds and the other fails. What went wrong with “the project” in the latter case?

There's a Pizza Hut in North Carolina that is untouched by time; red cups for beverages, light fixtures, jukebox, table cloths, and even has the salad bar oh my god
CARDIO DU JOUR: This is big. Close to HALF of veteran competitive endurance athletes (>50) have cardiac fibrosis, 5x higher risk of (non-benign) ventricular arrythmia, (that is, 20% of these). Ditch your Strava, enjoy zone 1-2, avoid too many races, walk at flaneur pace.…
The last sentence here should not be in parentheses
Highly-educated-motherhood is a high-skilled job: these moms are always debating and doing research about health and school and extracurriculars and tutoring and all sorts of stuff. The home becomes a legitimate space for female ambition. (Spoiler: as it always was historically)
Stay at Home Wives most common for ✔️High-earning husbands & ✔️Husbands & 25th percentile New from @lymanstoneky:
You wouldn't get this from @Cobratate but new research from @lymanstoneky indicates that successful men tend to marry their equals in terms of education & age:

Also, hunter gatherer groups were extremely chauvinistic and would hardly have viewed themselves as being in solidarity with members of other tribes. They were therefore closer to fascist than to socialist societies.

What's a modern minor medical treatment that is just bonkers effective, like you'd painfully die for weeks if this happened 400 years ago.
Like everyone else I vaguely felt the French Revolution was a Good Thing when first taught about it as a kid. Learning about the execution of these nuns (and what happened in the Vendee) was the first crack in that and ultimately what led me to the authentic Right.
The harrowing execution of Carmelite Sisters of Compiegne on July 17th-1794 in Paris, is captured in my audio feature-"Permission To Die", broadcasting today at 1:00 and 2:00pm on @VeritasRadioNet ! crusadechannel.com
Britons aborting their future because of a grim present ... young Britons devoid of hope due to a culture bereft of its historic Christianity & a reality that they are tenants in a country their parents & grandparents owned, built & defended.
It appears that abortions are soaring in the UK. This is likely tied to the economic and social decline being experienced in the country. As British people give up on having children, the migration problem will only get worse. Doom loop. 🇬🇧
Unofficial list of most delicious cuisines that weren’t originally from a region but invented after Columbian Exchange: ▫️Spaghetti/Pizza: Tomatoes (via Americas) came to Italy in 16th century and led to Spaghetti al Pomodoro and Pizza Margherita. ▫️Carnitas: Spanish…
I would love to read a general interest book about how pretty much every major world cuisine as we know it was completely reinvented over a period of 50-100 years in the wake of the Colombian exchange--chilis coming to India and China, tomatoes to Italy, etc. etc.

¿Sabías que en 1799 Gran Bretaña trazó un plan secreto para destruir el imperio español en América e influir en las guerras de independencia de sus provincias? Este es el Plan Maitland, el plan oculto que ideó la emancipación británica de Hispanoamérica. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
