The New York Times, which apparently isn’t failing, has a couple of guest essays from smart, thoughtful Massachusetts people. They reinforce how pointless all of the fabricated culture war nonsense is, when there are real problems to confront and manage. I’m using my Times subscription to share these without the paywall getting in the way.
It’s already been a couple of years since I read Rough Sleepers by Tracy Kidder, about homelessness in Boston.
Today, Kidder writes about food banks and the limits of what they can do under Trump II.
Republican leaders who dislike Harvard and MIT know-it-alls will ignore this piece about China’s economy at their own peril.
