As for political division - i still remember 1994 midterms when the going complaint about politics was that elections were a fake since people told to choose between two parties that differ about as much as Coke and Pepsi do. That it was a

Why doesn't anyone pay attention to the elephant in the room: median age? It has increased by 10 years in those 50 years. And, money is now overwhelmingly concentrated in the older cohorts just simply because there were no significant

They did it this way: from the powerplant, it was hot steam under pressure, not even water, that got to the block-sized heat exchanger (serving maybe 500-1000 people, 200-300 flats - one large soviet-style block or 2-3 smaller ones). There,
