Don’t say “inequality” when you mean “poverty” 2025 challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Almost certainly Seattle. Population went from 600k->800k, the city went from no rail system to a top-10 busiest network, region became an absolute economic powerhouse, there’s a total transformation of the waterfront, and so much more

So far: - 10% of students have disability accommodations, 2x the 2014 level - getting one of these raises your GPA by about 0.3 - They are disproportionately going to high-income, white, female students How do we interpret all this? It's not that easy, and sensitive. 9/

Obesity is a leading cause of death and is associated with many more (eg cancer, diabetes). GLP-1 drugs have been a miracle for so many people, but were too expensive and out of reach for millions more. This is *incredible* news.
