Interesting stuff

  1. People are not having kids more because of a cultural shift than affordability (demand shifting in rather than sliding up and down).
  2. Texas has more renewables than California because TX allows markets to work.
  3. Listen to this discussion on the downsides of globalization
  4. Higher inheritance taxes are better for society and equality. Listen.
  5. The collapse of AMOC (the current that keeps northern Europe warm in winter) is now more than likely before 2050. Sharpen your ice skates!
  6. Keanu Reeves: “The Matrix changed my life… and that of many others.” Watch.
  7. America has so many laws that nobody can count the ways you can end up in jail.
  8. Vienna’s “social” housing is a gift to the middle class, not the poor. Related: Why rent control doesn’t work podcast.
  9. More schools are banning phones. Good.
  10. An air-conditioner’s “money saving mode” is really “not-as-cool mode”
