Mining is so hazardous to your lungs that many societies would refrain from using slave labor because it was more cost effective to just pay people to kill themselves doing it.

The many manifestations of racism — slavery, segregation, etc — were an integral part of not just African American history, but American history. Denying that reality and pretending racism wasn’t a serious problem is, in itself, racist.

A pregnancy center can bill the state $14 for distributing a pack of diapers that only cost the center about 25 cents.

But before parents can get those diapers, they must take a class for which the center can bill the state $30 per hour of class a client attends.

Tom Nichols once said something like senators think of themselves as regents. And whatever the limits of his expertise he understands entitlement. These are people who feel they have not just the power, but the authority. Something similar seems to be going on with democratic donors.

Story about making lab-grown meat better talks about embedding flavors in gelatin.

But the gelatin still comes from animal sources!

Gelatin is made from collagen. Last I checked, the only company making lab-grown collagen was marketing it for use in leather. ☹️

The GOP platform strongly implies they're after "personhood" status for fetuses. I don't think people appreciate how radical that is. If it were the law, abortion for any reason, EVEN TO SAVE THE LIFE OF THE PREGNANT WOMAN, would be murder and therefore illegal. After all...

A counterintuitive finding: US crash deaths are *higher* when traffic volumes are lower.

Likely reason: Without congestion slowing them down, more Americans drive recklessly -- because US roads are designed for speed.

"Well Robin, maybe if you spent more money on marketing you'd have more patients and more money!" No, the more patients we have, the more care and support we give away. Our first year patient payments came to about $25 per patient. This year it averages $20.
