I'm no economist but the fact that more than 42 million Americans (1 in 8!) are on SNAP (i.e., food stamps) says that the federal minimum wage is way too low.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

After Amsterdam introduced the 30 km/h speed limit on most roads, the first results are in:
- Crashes on these roads dropped by 11%
- Road noise is down by 1.5 decibels
- Most drivers now respect the new limit, with serious speeding (over 55 km/h) dropping from 1% to 0.2%
