In 1924, Calvin Coolidge's 16-yr-old son played tennis on the White House grounds w/o wearing socks. He got a blister and was dead from infection a week later.
This is unthinkable today—which is why I wrote this series. Cuz the systems that save us from this kind of fate are in urgent need of care.

For a yr, I've been working on a series for The New Atlantis about the vast systems that underlie our lives. Our ancestors built them up over decades to fend off hunger, thirst, darkness and disease. But too few of us know about them—and they're all at risk. The conclusion is now available online:
Why We Are Better Off Than a Century Ago
Our ancestors built grand public systems to conquer hunger, thirst, darkness, and squalor. That progress can be lost if we forget it.

This is my favorite piece on the Zero Units, the Afghan locals who actually fought the war under the direction of the CIA.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

“Eighty-five percent of violent coalitions are led by females seeking to keep males in check, demonstrating that their ferocity is clearly functional: to prevent them from becoming like chimpanzees. In some communities, females win 100% of conflicts, showing that their dominance is structural.”

good on the Finks for diversifying their income streams, honestly. bit of legit money never hurt a business.
also, would _you_ fuck with a place where the generic rent-a-cops were slightly more connected than is usual for generic rent-a-cops?
