I keep thinking about how 18 yr olds in the US illegally occupy buildings & protest about a war they often don’t know much about

vs 18 yr olds in Israel are all enlisting in the military, serving their country, & putting their life on the line

The juxtaposition is astounding

My heart goes out to the great people at Walmart Health. I can't imagine what a blow this must be to all of the years of hard work the team put in. Tackling healthcare challenges is not for the faint of heart, and the Walmart team took a big swing. They should be rewarded for…

.Paul Graham on having kids

Au pair programs seem to be problematic. How are we finding graet live-in nannies these days?
