So many things. One side, the dude taking advantage. Another side, the surrounding assuming women take care of it (this includes family and friends). And, finally, the engrained believe that we should take care of it that fills you with guilt when you are not. Complicated.

Even economists agree on this... And we are very well-known for our disagreements.
We cannot repair the economy, restore our vitality, or relish life’s most precious moments — hugging a grandchild, birthdays, weddings, graduations, all the moments that matter most to us — until we get this virus under control.

Good recommendations on how to start learning R.
I'm planning to learn R this summer so I have more tools to share with students in my data course. (Don't @ me, Stata people: R is free, which means I know students will have access to it after graduation.) Any resources/suggestions? Anyone want to be in a study group with me?
