So disappointing but I have noticed the same thing. NYT has dove so deep into identity politics, opinion, agenda, and editorial that it's very hard to imagine their actual legitimate journalistic/reporting division is not being ne

Presumably this tracks economic and social status closely, and perhaps the meeting (or not) of traditional American life goals; marriage, kids, house, safety, economic security, etc In that case, an increase would not be surprising. Many pe
