Child care costs more than a mortgage payment or rent almost everywhere in the U.S.: ‘There is no escaping it’
  • I don't know how it works in the US but isn't it normal that child care cost are higher than rent or mortgage? Unless you count as child care older kids (like above 3), you can't expect a single worker to take care of more than 3 babies, and rent should be around 1/3 of income. So typical cost of daycare for 1 kif should be about typical cost of housing for 1 worker, no? For reference here in France, my mortgage is about 1300€/month and daycare (full time, private) for one child is 1400€/month, (of which about 700€ is paid by the state).

  • EVs are booming but electric bikes are really cutting emissions
  • 100 is a bit much, a good ebike can cost several thousands. IMHO the main driver for adoption is the availability of dedicated infrastructure. I can afford an EV but chose to use a bike because the infrastructure is excellent where I live and it allows me to avoid traffic and congestion.

  • French lawmakers vote to slow down fast fashion with penalties
  • Bernard Arnault is lobbying against this law, because his companies make a lot of money in the Asian market, especially in China, and he fears repercussions from the Chinese government and a tariff war.

  • Poignant post on the state of things
  • It could be owned by, like, multiple people? Also, a lot of companies in the world, and especially the ones managing costly infrastructure assets, are owned by states (which are a form of "multiple people").

  • Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test
  • For trains and subways, you can build the stations slightly above the rest of the tracks so that a train will naturally break when reaching the station, and accelerate when leaving. Efficiently storing energy in potential gravitational form. I'm not sure how frequently this is done, but at least in my city the subway does this at most stations.
