It's a certain kind of curse to be old enough to remember when things cost a small fraction of what they do now.

Coke was a nickel for 70 years, until 1959, then quadrupled in price by the 1970’s. Imagine being alive during those times 🤯

Authority can be *wrong* but that doesn't mean all authority is illegitimate. Parents are maybe the most legitimate authority in the world. Governments and laws are the ones with legitimacy problems.

That's a harder parenting framework than most people realize. Teaching kids that authority requires justification rather than compliance is simple to state and genuinely difficult to implement — bec...

love you, but don’t your hold a correction past when it becomes an overcorrection. it’s not an either or type of issue. logically both either or extremes are invalid because they run u head first...

Thank you for saying this! Seems that most of the world is hell bent on running to two extremes in answer to every issue
