Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon announced Thursday that his investment firm would no longer finance initial public offerings (IPOs) for companies that have only white male board members.
What's the point in paying your bills when politicians are promising to just make them go away? Those promises are going to make more people take out and not repay their loans, making the problem worse.

The doctors told my mom I would be born with Downs Syndrome. Babies with that diagnosis are among the most often aborted. My parents chose to let me live. I don't have Downs Syndrome, but I wonder how many lives, with or without the syndrome, have been ended this way. https://twitter.com/bdomenech/status/1220413165009350656 …

I’m so old I remember when the Democrats were shrieking for justice for the people of Iran, right up until the people of Iran began agreeing with Trump about their government’s corruption.
Man, those were the days.

If you are serious about wanting to improve education, do not vote more money for the education establishment that has been dumbing down the schools for years. Vote for vouchers, tax credits, or anything else that will transfer decision-making power to parents.

Everyone evangelizes their children, even if the faith they’re evangelizing is agnosticism. “All faiths are equally valid” is just as much a religion as Christianity, except that it fails to lay a solid moral foundation and creates a weak, contradicting worldview. https://twitter.com/cindy_w_brandt/status/1215050922549604352 …

"... eating the recommended 'healthier' foods — a mix of fruits, vegetables, dairy and seafood — increased the environmental impact in all three categories: Energy use went up by 38 percent, water use by 10 percent and GHG emissions by 6 percent."
