Related... this makes me wonder where economists land on these things. I suspect we fall into roughly two groups: rational actors who outsource this to someone with the comparative advantage, and stubborn actors who are determined to do it themselves.

That's one of the big downsides to loving a small market/less popular team. The best sports journalists/media are never going to write an investigative article about something like that for the rox or nats, but I it might get covered for the yankees/dodgers/etc

This is so sad, but also makes me feel weirdly out of touch -- I feel like part of the reason I had a kid was for the joy of reading with them??

Not sure if this counts as an "adult" craft but I've been really enjoying this with my toddler! First, you draw/paint whatever you want (real pictures, patterns, motivational phrases, anything). Second, you cut out shapes from those finished drawings and hang them up as a garland!

If you want to help the parents of young children to vote, you can support universal vote by mail, reach out to the parents you know to see if they need help getting to the polls, or support the work of organizations that provide childcare for voters, like www.politisit.org/childcare-fo....

At Politisit, we believe that parents shouldn't have to choose between voting and care for their children.

This result is probably not surprising to anyone who has tried to wrangle an infant/toddler while in a long line!
