I’ve been paying my student loans for over two decades and have only paid off 30%

For decades, economists gave short shrift to the idea of monopsony — a power employers can have to suppress wages. Now a wave of research suggests it's everywhere, and a new book argues it's key to understanding today's inequality. n.pr/4e0RHRi
More like fist sized
Looks like some kind of poppy to me
The bush is about 5’ tall and has tons of flowers
I always thought Sun Tzu's "Art of War" was a little simplistic and obvious but it turns out yes, you do literally need to tell the Secretary of War "you need to feed your troops and keep them from being wiped out by preventable diseases"
I don’t know but it’s so pretty!
Spotted it on my walk

remember that atlantic article that pretended to be a first person account of a mother's loss of a child from measles? this is the real thing and it's brutal.
“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.”

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
