Do not allow your inner child to fade away as the years pass by. This precious part of yourself — the one that finds wonder in small moments, laughs freely, and sees the world with curiosity and delight — is essential to maintaining genuine joy and vitality throughout your life.

Even if sharks didn’t get cancer, eating shark wouldn’t cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

Undocumented immigrants paid $97B in taxes in 2022.
They paid a higher state/local tax rate than the top 1% in a majority of states.
They contributed $26B to Social Security, which they can't benefit from.
Remember this the next time the undocumented are called "freeloaders."
