      TIL an oil tanker carries about $200M worth of oil per trip*, making a $2M transit fee really not a big deal.

      A lot of the angst about declining birth rates is actually angst that the efforts to reduce teen pregnancies has actually worked. 
      
      This is one of those unintended consequences of a well intentioned policy.

      Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal โ€”ย time, labor, money โ€”ย but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.
