Plusieurs personnes disent fièrement être prêts à se battre pour leur liberté. C’est un sentiment noble, mais une façon plus sérieuse de mesurer ce sentiment, c’est de demander s’ils sont aussi prêts à lire pour leur liberté. #Québec #polqc #FarnellMorisset

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

Si j'avais soulevé le mot travail, j'aurais trouvé mon père.
Mon père vivait sous le travail. Quand il rentrait àa la maison, on ne le voyait pas. On ne voyait que le travail.
La souffrance du.
La fatigue du.
L'aliénation du.
