My theory is that we’re the last major time zone globally (sorry, Hawaii), so people’s jobs typically require them to start early if they’re talking to anyone anywhere. Thus, people wake up and go to bed early.

Reddit so pessimistic damn. It’s dire for sure but there are always solutions.

The History of Rome - it’s awesome!

Ya im listening to the history of Rome podcast, and it’s eerie how similar today’s America is to Rome circa ~100 BC (50 years before the fall of the republic)

And the companies pay taxes on the profits for those items. And their employees pay taxes on their earnings. And the whole thing repeats
