It's part of a general problem in economics. Women are relegated to "care economy" issues. They aren't able to call out obvious fallacies in things like Gary Becker's "New Home Economics" without risking career. It's an "alt-truth" problem where economic science is not being done on firm ground.

This kind of "alt-truth" in economics, one where topics (and math!) central to economic innovation, productivity, efficiency, and growth are taboo, hurts all of us and prevents problem-solving.

Trump is the piggy. Literally every accusation he makes is about his own behavior.

He can't get the GoP nomination for Prez with Usha as his wife. He will try to swap to get Erica Kirk to get the nomination but then every non-GoP voter will oppose him.

Now he's in his angry Christian phase. I wish he had stuck with the angry atheist phase. I wish he'd get access to some other feelings as well.

Is he going to marry Erika Kirk if Usha doesn't convert to Catholicism? (or even if she does!) Maybe he can even get an annulment in Catholicism b/c Usha wasn't/isn't Catholic?

IMO, why the British Monarchy still exists: (a) its centuries of Queens Regnant representing the substantive rights of women under the "English constitutions" writ large (and b/c some of the QRs greatly advanced the world - and against odds) and (b) its relevance to upholding "rule of law." (more)

Men had only started to use these when (mostly male voters) elected Trump #RFKJr . Trump's BBB and current federal shutdown budgetary standoff by Trump aimed at cutting ACA benefits for those who cannot afford it privately, means many men will lose access to mental and emotional health care.

All he knows how to do is to destroy. He has to keep doing that or people will notice he's not doing anything constructive.

Ford is doing this to hijack power from PM Mark Carney. Ford is a Trumpite blunderbuss, very different from Carney's more measured, math-cognizant, negotiating stance. Not as keen on this Ford agenda as others seem to be.

The #EastWing was effectively the "housewife wing", where #FirstLadies sought to use their husbands' "platform" to promote various causes, including my personal favorite, Betty Ford staging #ERA campaigns. #Melania, uniquely, doesn't do this, though. Maybe it is time to retire the "housewife wing"?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Otherwise known as the Anti-Establishment Clause. All laws must be acknowledged as human in origin to be enforceable, publicly or privately. Government funding goes only to schools acknowledged as human in origin.

They will say they do because of local "sanctuary laws", "sanctuary mayors", and other types of official enablement of illegal immigration, no?

Did you see this one too? Both the widow's and this veteran's choice of words is interesting given Trump promulgating the AI-generated flyover-dumping video.

#PrinceAndrew has still refused to cooperate in various public and private US-based investigations of the crimes #Epstein committed and facilitated, and he used the castle to dodge subpoenas. Does the Crown facilitate rule of law or does it attack it?
