This week Gabe Sherman reported for *Vanity Fair* that Señor Trumpanzee is "regretting that Kushner swooped into the coronavirus response last week. Kushner, according to sources, encouraged Trump to treat the emergency as a P.R. problem when Fauci and others were calling for aggressive... more »

The Advanced & The Backward
Nature favors the economically and culturally disadvantaged.

A community, it seems, can either produce the BMWs and iPhones or it can reproduce large number of children. There has never been a community that has achieved technological advancement and growth in its population at the same time. In case of a devastating global pandemic, it is the advanced communities that undergo lot of pain while for the backward communities there is... more »
