If I might be so arrogant to suggest, that the next time Americans become so worried about the price of eggs, it might be better for the whole world to simply invest in a pet chicken.

Sometimes I wonder if the world's current political troubles can be attributed to Millenials being bored with politics 10 years ago, and conservative men not being able to reconcile the idea that they might be sexually attracted to men.

I wish the Encyclopedia Britannica would start printing physical books again. Even if it was only to a niche number of customers. It would be a perfect digital detox. You wouldn't have to worry about A.I. just making things up.

I think that the promoting of far-right individuals that has been occurring in the media over the last several years, has been done for 'entertainment' purposes.

It seems as though journalists are weighing how many stories they can get out of some despicable person before things get serious.
