By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.

Maybe the best advice I’ll be giving my kids. They’re better off in many ways to be raised by me at 42 rather than 10 or 20 years ago. But man, I think of how much I’m likely to miss having started so late, and it hurts.
Every year you “wait to have kids” is a year you won’t have with them when they are adults, and a year you won’t have with grandkids. Is your brunch life now really so cool as to miss out on that. Doubt it.

This would be a brilliant idea. Any company that wants to sell your student loan at a discount should be required to let you buy it for the same price.
Just got notice that my loan servicer is changing, which likely means that my loans were once again sold for pennies on the dollar. Can I "buy" my own loans at a similarly stupid discount and then "forgive" them?

Americans in 1900 worked a thousand more hours a year for effectively a tenth of the pay. It may not be trendy to say, but you’re lucky to be living here right now.
American workers today spend around 2000 hours a year at work, while our 1900 counterparts worked 50% more.
Over the same period, real hourly wages have gone up 10-fold, and the inflation-adjusted price of leisure has dropped by more than half.
