Thus freedom brings not stagnation, but rather the danger of overwork.

Suppose a woman attorney makes $200K a year! Or rather, she would, if she had a flexible work schedule and affordable, high quality child care.
If I pay a childcare provider $50K to take care of her kid and do drop-offs... but lawyer mom pays $60K in income tax?

Roughly half a million women in the US exited the workforce in 2025, and 42% of those who voluntarily left cited their caregiving responsibilities as the main reason, according to a recent survey from Catalyst.

In a tight employment market, employers that offer less flexibility risk losing working caregivers, according to a Catalyst report.

this was also one of the many things I found sorta comforting about reading Taylor Branch’s “Parting the Waters” series on the American civil rights movement.
Upon re-reading the "Parting the Waters" series last year, the historical infighting was a huge consolation to me. It's not that, today, the various strands of the resistance movement are uniquely incapable of cooperating with each other. That's just how all insurgencies have always worked!

So don't buy a gun. You're not going to out-shoot BORTAC. You're not going to out-opsec the FBI. You're not facing a civilian paramilitary that operates at arm's length from the government. Armed insurgency is not a winning strategy for us.
