The world was spinning. Because I was spinning, strapped into a 3-Axe astronaut training machine. Specters of watercolorish strokes smeared into each other, the cheering crowd had become a faceless…

The War on Cars"Here’s a stark way of thinking about the problem: If the U.S. had made as much progress reducing vehicle crashes as other high-income countries had over the past two decades, about 25,000 fewer Americans would die every year."

Asbjørn UlsbergMan Announces He Will Quit Drinking by 2050.
A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 29 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.
The program will see Greg Taylor, 73, continue to drink as normal for the foreseeable future, before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.
Taylor said it was important not to rush the switch to non-alcoholic beverages. “It’s not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a steady, phased approach where nothing changes for at least two decades,” he said, adding that he may need to make additional investments in beer consumption in the short term, to make sure no night out is worse off.

HeavenlyPossumOne major difference between these two labor markets that could explain this discrepancy is in their differing levels of labor organization. In Denmark, about 70% of workers belong to labor unions, which are so large that they can bargain not just with individual firms but *sectorally,* setting wages and working conditions for entire sectors of the economy at a time.
In contrast, only about 11% of US workers are unionized—and only about 6% of private sector workers, down from about 35% during the 1930s. As I discussed last time, divided and atomized workers, forced to bargain one-by-one, lack the power to negotiate for wages that their unionized peers do.
We could imagine US workers unionized at the same rate as their Danish counterparts and collectively bargaining for an *effective* minimum wage that is dramatically higher than their *statutory* minimum wage. Maybe the lowest collectively bargained wage would be $16 or $18 or even higher.
