    I find it funny when people say it's not on Carlsen when it was entirely his decision to not compete. We already have rapid and blitz world championships that are separate. This is…

    It's not the proportion of the population that is wealthy that matters, it's what proportion of the total wealth that they have. From the article, "In 2022, the wealthiest 1 percen…

    Could you explain more about how first responders are not empowered at their jobs? I'm mostly curious if you see the cause as something local, or more like national policy that cha…
