Ramaswamy: “it would be possible to randomly fire workers based on their Social Security numbers.” Political scientists:

Having witnessed Turkish politics very closely for a very long time, what I can tell you is “elitism” is the tar and feather of politics, and it requires excruciating centrism to get rid of it.

Just taught my 6 yo why and how the numbers on the screen will change all night using Halloween candy. Parenting win. 💪
