"The Old is Dying and the New Cannot Be Born: From Progressive Neoliberalism to Trump and Beyond" by Nancy Fraser is a good (short!) book that talks about similar themes. I'd recommend it.

The most expensive and desirable locations in the U.S. are mostly apartments/condos, not single family detached homes. Take New York or San Francisco for example -- hardly slums by most measures (yes there is homelessness, but that&#x2

Touch ID and Face ID both have cases where they don’t work well (gloves/wet fingers, and sunglasses/squinting). The thing I like better about Face ID is that it lets you hide the text of your notifications by default but then reve
