We are amazingly, willfully ignorant of what is driving housing costs. The three main drivers of housing costs are luxury housing, real estate speculation, and foreign investment (aka money laundering). The idea that you can build out of a housing crunch ignores who is buying and building homes.* Also, it’s…

We’re meant to understand that Greg’s mother was kicked out of the family for having a child out of wedlock, but it may not be exactly that or that plus something else. She’s certainly destitute, possibly dying.
No no no no.
McKinsey is not “the most prestigious company on earth.”
Bob Melvin is the best manager in baseball. He keeps making the best of players and of situations. He builds really good athletes into great athletes, only to have owners sell his work to another team, making the A’s a farm team for the rest of MLB.The A’s are fun to watch and the fans are locals, real people who…
Mr. Buttigieg is one of those dangerously avuncular guys who will quietly stab you then call for an ambulance that he knows will arrive just a little too late. He has dismissed people striking for a living wage as pointless “social justice warriors” and has never joined an organization supporting workers rights, but…
Those self driving vehicles are really not ready for the open road.
He works for the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco. Not a public health mission, but devoted to nicotine. Kind of odd to think someone who does this is unbiased when the entire enterprise, all the articles, and the man’s research area is about justifying the use of vaping products.
The rich are emaciated by choice. The poor by lack of choice.
“Hedge fund manager David E. Shaw and his wife, financial journalist Beth Kobliner...” I bet her financial advice and awareness was really valuable!
I worked in the finance department of two universities. I’ll tell you where the money goes: athletic fields, the president’s pocket, to build whatever the donators want whether or not the school needs a new showcase theater/business school building/or gym.
If a private lot is used by the public, for example, at a shopping mall, police or security staff can ticket you an assortment of violations. Just as they can arrest you for all sorts of stuff and hold you for the authorities. If you steal from Target, the security guard holds you, but the police take you to jail.
SNL goes for the easy jokes. They don’t do satire anymore. It’s as if they only remember Chevy Chase as a stumbling Ford, not Norm McDonald as cranky Bob Dole getting important issues wrong, Will Farrell as the dangerously incompetent Bush setting the Great Lakes on fire (again), Dan Aykroyd as Tricky Dick Nixon and…
If you’re eating fast food, you’re contributing to waste, pollution, and buying into the delusion that to save the planet behavior modification is unnecessary. It’s like buying organic chocolate raisins in plastic containers.
My friend has the current version of mid-century nailed: Corporate Boardroom.
It doesn’t have to be a lipid. Any fatty or oily substance will behave the same way.
“when a fatty substance is inhaled” nothing about it having to be lipids.
“Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. Propylene glycol is also used to make polyester compounds, and as a base for deicing solutions. Propylene glycol is used by the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries as an antifreeze when leakage might lead to contact with food. The Food and…
