Do not visit Amerika.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried. This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership. Cities are a result of choices.

Baby bunnies are cute.

Why does it take 10 poll workers to allow 20 votes per hour?

The S&P 500 has lost 10.5% of its value in two days. Since 1980, we've only seen larger declines three other times: the '87 crash, Nov 2008, and Mar 2020. And those weren't due to policy choices. This may be the largest self-imposed destruction of wealth ever.

And if they let you think they'll find some spending to cut, ask them what EXACTLY they'll cut. Please and thank you.

We'd better be upping defence spending a whole hell of a lot faster than that.
