Why Marx Gets a Free Pass

Buster Posey Retires

As many of you know outside of Premier League Football, (Go Arsenal) I have not watched professional sports since the Kaepernick incident.

Fewer Children… Because of “Climate Anxiety”?

…Perhaps, we should apply that historical knowledge to today’s crises. What if the kids and their carbon outputs aren’t the problem to be solved, but instead the very ones to solve whatever climate change problems we face?… In a recent article in The Atlantic, Emma Green writes that “a third or more of Americans younger than 45 either don’t … More Fewer Children… Because of “Climate Anxiety”?

The Experts Challenging Treatment of Gender Dysphoria
