Should we be prepared next for an op-ed on the dead weight loss of Christmas?
From @WSJopinion: If Americans put a fair price on their time—on their short- and long-term health, and their kids’ well-being—more households would outsource more DIY projects, writes Roland Fryer on.wsj.com/3TNrF8M

"Public faith in government accountability is fragile today. Not simply advocating for but actually delivering on immigration restriction is the surest way to preserve it." Read Darel E. Paul's @darelmass piece in COMPACT: compactmag.com/article/how-th…
The Holy Father’s rhetoric is intensifying / escalating. A sign that what’s been offered in terms of apology — and heeding his call for dialogue and humanitarian aid — has not been enough. “How many divisions does the pope have?” some might (foolishly) be tempted to ask.
Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and…
The so-called F-scale or "fascism scale" of Theodor Adorno was partially defined by one's views of homosexuality. Thus 'sexual liberation to stop Auschwitz' was baked into the post-war liberal ideological cake from the beginning.
Beginning in 1969 and continuing for three decades, the West German government placed orphans with male pedophiles based on a belief that being preyed upon would make them less likely to become Nazis in the future.
Germany's total fertility rate has been sub-replacement for 55 years. It is one of the few countries where "desired" fertility is <2. This demographic disaster will not reverse itself. europeanconservative.com/articles/news/…
A variation on a theme. Woke elites conquered institutions and then ran them in the plausible belief that their institutions could never be reconquered. They are such institutionalists that it never occurred to them that institutions could simply be destroyed instead.
The defunding of NPR would be another hit to the “wokeness is about material interests” crowd. All they had to do was keep staff sorta under control to keep the gravy train going, but they couldn’t and instead deliberately speedran every progressive moral fad and talking point.

I have asked @Israel to aggressively investigate the murder of Saif Mussallet, an American citizen who was visiting family in Sinjil when he was beaten to death. There must be accountability for this criminal and terrorist act. Saif was just 20 yrs old.
The average number of people living in a house has dropped by 34% since 1950 This means that even with no population growth, cities can experience a housing shortage A city of 1M residents in 1950 only needed 263k homes A city of 1M residents today needs 400k homes
Plenty of Western countries saw a major fertility recovery in the 1990s and 2000s. The big difference then was room for a fertility recovery due to the end of birth postponement. Trying to start a family at 30 is very different from trying to start at 35.
Ireland was a unique developed country that reversed a fertility decline. That would have continued if not for the introduction troika at the exact year, 2010, it flipped back. Austerity is the ultimate fertility stopper.
