Okay, I have referenced this a few times in replies, but: some people are confused about why the SSPX would play this game of chicken and expect the Pope would blink. It's not JUST the precedent from the last time! It's also the entire recent history of the Catholic Church in China.

Read a paper (
ape.socialcatalystlab.org/papers/apep_...
) from Social Catalyst Lab's Project "automate policy evaluation" which seemed like a good grad school paper for a class (e.g., limited data, requires strong assumptions but a step in the right direction for a broader research project)

If I'm not mistaken, the intuition for the price level explanation is that voters are thinking I'm pessimistic about the economy because the nominal price level is high, but I'm also able to buy more things with my income.

Research shows that biking is very, very healthy for people 65+. Findings after reviewing 28 prior studies: "Cycling in later life links to improved mobility [and] balance." "Older cyclists often report psychosocial health, life satisfaction, and well-being improvements."
