Useful and Actionable Information

Don't sleep on this opportunity.

Very, very little information you come across makes the world a better place. Much is just depressing data that you can do nothing about, adding to the unhappiness in the world. Other posts are just name-calling, and still others are ego-feeding net-harmful shouts into the void.

Sometimes, though, we get well-researched, meaningful, useful, and entirely actionable insights. From Abi Olvera and Alicia Plemmons at Positive Sum:

How to cut suicide rates, healthcare costs, crime, and prices

Excellent. Abi is one of only three people to whom I have a paid subscription. If you want to be a single-issue, squeaky-wheel voter, you could do far, far worse than gatekeeping / licensing reform. A few calls to your state representatives would be overweighted....
