Here's a fun story about union influence in NYC (with a little twist I hope you'll indulge[1]): In 2005, I moved into a 19th-floor apartment in lower Manhattan. My girlfriend and I spent about 12 hours at IKEA getting everything

Sorry, but this explanation makes no sense. $TWTR has been a public company since 2013, with investors who emphatically do care about things other than vanity metrics. A list of the largest Twitter shareholders[1] includes Blackrock, Vang

There's one thing that nobody ever told me before I became a father, so I'll post it here: I was (and remain) shocked by how much fun it is. Seriously. My wife and I were married for 8 years before we even decided to have kids,

This is such a tired argument. Yes, Antartica is less miserable than Mars. So what? Antartica is, crucially, part of Earth . It is missing the main thing Mars has to make it desirable, which is being another planet . If you don't
