I think downward mobility is a significant factor. People doing well in life have little reason to reach for these fringe ideas. People that aren't doing so well want some sort of explanation, there must be some malevolent outside for

I'd be interested to see the rates segmented by generation. Everyone in my generation (millennial) seems to be very sugar adverse, has that done anything to lower obesity rates?

The Bandcamp app does not allow you to purchase music through the app to avoid the apple tax. OPs comment suggests that Amazon does not pay the apple tax when purchasing digital goods (music, videos, books, etc.) through their app. That see

That is absolutely a misrepresentation of the average JRE listener. Look at the youtube comments under any clip of the show and you'll see close to all are just making fun of Joe. Nearly every meme shared about the show is making fun o

They've both known each other since the early 2000s and appear to be somewhat friends, so it's no surprise they've both gone on each others shows. I think Joe expects his audience to interpret Jones much of the same way he ap

It truly is insane how quickly the severity of the crisis ramped up. Monday co-workers on slack were messaging how the flu was more of a worry, after Wednesday it was mandatory work from home. And it truly feels like medical authorities wer
