This has been the most shocking thing about going back to school after 20 years. The youth often don't even know where to start looking or what question to ask.

My partner was one of the researchers on this lost wallet study. Turns out people suck less than we expect. www.npr.org/2019/06/20/7...
What Dropping 17,000 Wallets Around The Globe Can Teach Us About Honesty
Scientists used "lost" wallets to test whether people are more likely to be dishonest when they might profit. The results were puzzling — so they put more money in the wallets.

I need someone(s) to start making stickers that say "[State's name for Medicaid] is MEDICAID" and tag them all over red states.

I showed this Substack from a virologist to an actual epidemiologist, and she agreed this is probably the end game. His post this morning follows her logic/theory. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-poison...
The Poison Pill to End the MMR is Tylenol

Writer with a media background here that went back to get my MPP/MPH. Literally writing my policy capstone about this. We gotta be interdisciplinary and meet the moment.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

It's almost like there have been specific policy and social choices to ensure women's incomes are smaller!
