Excellent article tracing the supply chain of lead back to factories in Nigeria that are poisoning residents.
American companies like Amazon, Lowe’s and carmakers all use them.

Why do otherwise intelligent people insist on referring to Milei economics as “radical free market” while pointing to his insistence on “maintaining a strong peso to crush inflation? In a truly free market the peso would sink like a stone.

Trump: "We're creating a special Trump account for every newborn child, starting them off w/ $1k to be invested over the course of their life. A little baby is born, they're gonna start off with $1k...they have a chance to be very rich. It's gonna be very cute. We're gonna follow it very closely"

Something to keep in mind amid continued attention to Trump claims on “white genocide” in South Africa. It’s precisely because Mandela opted not to pursue major land transfers — concerned he not upset international investors needed to finance development — that South Africa today remains so unequal.

Serious question @howardbeck.bsky.social @zachlowenba.bsky.social did Tatum injury save Mazulla job? Because even before Tatum went down Celtics had blown series, arguably because of predictable coaching/dogmatic reliance on 3 to point of insanity. Does Tatum loss provide plausible excuse?
