Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver.
If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

In bike-friendly Copenhagen, the Social Democrats' candidate for mayor tried to win over drivers by calling for more car parking.
In elections this week, she was trounced. For the first time in 122 years, a Social Democrat won't lead Copenhagen. The new mayor is a socialist from the Green Left.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?
Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.
