Here’s a fun New York Times throwback to the Tom Binns boutique, where punk jewelry once ran amok. I heckle a shopgirl for being worthless.

The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity. It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030. Taxing the rich is a global necessity.

Played by Daniel Kaluuya (very good and suitably charismatic, if a bit old) in Shaka King's excellent JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH (2021), worth a watch if you haven't seen it. Also features LaKeith Stanfield and Jesse Plemons.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
