The thing I'll add about cringe reactionary atheism is that as recently as 15-20 years ago conservative Christianity's grip on hegemony felt unbreakable in large parts of the country and it looks to be making a comeback and that'll radicalize folks trying to break free from it in a lot of weird ways

What is extra pathetic is that the united states federal reserve has already demoed and setup an equivalent to PIX that will realistically never see the light of day for American citizens because of traditional payment processors and, especially, the new crypto mob.

Parents insist their kids go to college to get business degrees. Administrators respond by defunding the humanities and social sciences, while hiring business profs at ~2X what historians get paid. Meanwhile, businesses say over and over that they want to hire humanities and social science majors.
Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

As one of the UK’s leading sleep-deprived obsessives on nursery fees… I’m not sure people without small kids know about a blatantly scammy tax trick that’s spreading fast.
People are paying nursery fees out of pre-tax income on the condition parents pretend to “help manage” the nursery.

For those confused by the China tariff news:
• Trump caved and got zero in return
• No manufacturing moved back to the USA
• 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans
• 90 day pause still causes uncertainty
• Trump lost all negotiating leverage
