Why the Survivors Should Return to Pulse
Research shows that young people can overcome their fear if they return to a site of trauma.The club Pulse is vital to the gay community in Orlando.
That is why it was attacked and why it should reopen.

The Upshot
Adults May Be Dying Younger, but Children Are Getting Healthier
The health gap between the rich and the poor is far less stark among children than older people, which offers hope to reverse a worrying trend.Time exposes low income people to more risk and cumulative damage.

An American Jeans Maker Discovers Cuba (and Color)
Nicole Najafi of Industry Standard recently spent a week in Havana and its environs, and took T along for the ride.There was money there.
It looks to have been the sugar trade with the associated slave trade.
The pictures are of large, labor intensive, structures in stone.
The color is Caribean paint.

Before Orlando, an Anti-Gay Massacre in New Orleans Largely Forgotten
After a fire at the UpStairs Lounge in 1973 that killed 32 people, there were no vigils and only a halfhearted investigation. Many victims were never identified.Attitudes have changed in 43 years.

Beth Comstock of General Electric: Granting Permission to Innovate
To Ms. Comstock, vice chairwoman of G.E., leadership is about understanding that things will never be perfectly balanced, and using that tension to move forward.I have no idea what she means by innovation.

The Upshot
One Economic Sickness, Five Diagnoses
While many would argue there are serious problems within the United States economy, there is no consensus among economists on the root causes.It is a tired story.
Putting people to work grows the economy.
The private sector is paying down debt. That does not put people to work.
The only party able to borrow and spend is the federal government.

Bondage Fantasies at the WSJ
Back in
early 2009 the Wall Street Journal looked at a blip in interest rates —
which was obviously, even at the time, driven by optimism about economic
recovery, which unfortunately proved misplaced — and declared that the bond vigilantes were back.
Rising rates, the paper declared, were a sign that all-wise markets
feared budget deficits and inflation. Soaring rates were proof that
government was the problem.
Seven years on, the
inflation never materialized, and interest rates all around the advanced
world are at historic lows, with German 10-years having just gone
negative. So the Journal has apologized for getting it all wrong, right?
Hahahahaha.
Instead, we now have an editorial denouncing “money for nothing“,
These low rates are not a sign that governments should build
infrastructure, or that inflation is too low. They “reflect a lack of
confidence in options for private investment.”
So rising rates show that government is the problem, and falling rates also show that government is the problem." 15

Roller Coasters, Class of ’16
New rides take passengers to higher heights, at greater speeds, and, with virtual reality headsets, are more transportive than ever.I won't insist.
