Some background on how U.S. helped create the monster in Iran today (Part 1):

- In 1951, Iran democratically elected Mossadegh, a Prime Minister with a secular-nationalist worldview who sought constitutionalist reforms to limit the monarchy. 🧵

Warmongering without a cursory understanding of Iran’s size and demographic diversity is quite something.
Persians make up 60% of the population, alongside Azeris, Kurds, Arabs, and others. Destabilization ends the fragile ethnic and sectarian balance, and triggers a refugee crisis on a new scale.
WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.”

Car bloat is a disease – and it’s spreading.

Here are a few of the stories I wrote in 2024 about dangerously huge vehicles. 🧵

This year GM killed the Chevy Malibu, the last sedan available to Americans from the Big Three. 4/5 new US cars are SUVs or pickups.

Detroit killed the sedan. We may all live to regret it
GM ending production of the Chevy Malibu underscores that the Big Three are done with sedans. But consumers may not flock to expensive SUVs in response.

Views of health insurance are a lot like views of the economy in recent years.

If you ask people how American health coverage is in general, they say it’s pretty bad.

If you ask people how much they like their own insurance, they say it’s pretty good.
