Sunburn rates before 1900: minimal, despite people working outdoors 12 hours a day in fields, on boats, on roofs.
Sunburn rates after 1900: epidemic, despite air conditioning and office cubicles and SPF 50.
What changed? The fat in the food.
Your skin is built from the fats you eat. Saturated fat is stable under UV light. Polyunsaturated fat oxidises rapidly the moment the sun hits it.
Eat seed oils → PUFA gets built into skin cell membranes → UV light strikes unstable fat → oxidation → sunburn.
Eat saturated fat → stable membranes → UV tolerance climbs → natural sun protection from the inside out.
Your great-grandfather worked in fields all day on butter, lard, and dripping. He didn't burn. He didn't reapply anything. He didn't own a hat with a UPF rating.
You eat sunflower oil for 50 weeks of the year, then go to Spain for one and come back looking like a boiled lobster.
The sun hasn't changed. The sun is the same sun.
What changed is your cell membranes. They're now made from industrial fat that combusts under UV exposure like cooking oil left in a hot pan.
Carnivores consistently report dramatically improved sun tolerance. Not because meat contains SPF. Because saturated fat builds UV-resistant skin.
You've been blaming the sun for damage caused by what you ate 18 months ago.

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares.
@JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation.
This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblue-s…

I am the VP of Workforce Economics at Oracle. We are worth $420 billion.
On Tuesday, we sent 30,000 employees a termination email at 6 AM.
Not 9. Not business hours. Six in the morning. They woke up to the word "eliminated."
The email came from "Oracle Leadership." Not a manager. Not a name. Oracle Leadership.
It said: "We are grateful for your dedication, hard work, and the impact you have made."
By the time they read the word "grateful," their access to email, files, and Slack had already been revoked. The gratitude was the last Oracle communication they received.
We did not eliminate the roles. We eliminated the salaries.
In the same fiscal year, we filed 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers. 436 this year alone. The roles are identical. The pay is not.
An H-1B software engineer earns $87,000. The domestic median for the same work is $106,000. Eighty-three percent of H-1B workers are classified at entry-level wages for senior positions.
The industry calls this a skills gap. It is a pay cut that requires a passport.
The visa is tied to the employer. If the worker leaves, they lose their legal right to remain in the country. If they negotiate, they risk the same. If they organize, the sponsor declines to renew.
That is retention.
Our revenue this quarter is $17.2 billion. Up 22%. Net income up 95%. We have $553 billion in committed future contracts. Up 325%.
These are not the numbers of a company that needs to lay anyone off.
We took a $2.1 billion restructuring charge. That is the cost of the gratitude. It frees up $8 to $10 billion in annual cash flow. That cash services $156 billion in AI data centers we are building. Starting 2028, OpenAI pays us $82 million per day.
Larry Ellison is worth $189 billion. He pledged $51 billion in Oracle shares as collateral for the Stargate AI venture. Announced at the White House.
The stock rose 4% on Tuesday. The day of the 6 AM emails. Wall Street did not see 30,000 people. They saw the margin.
Amazon laid off 30,000 since October. Filed thousands of H-1B petitions in the same window. This is not one company. This is the operating model.
Fire the salary. Keep the role. Fill it with someone whose legal right to remain in the country depends on your continued sponsorship. Pay them less. They will not complain. They cannot.
One employee's father worked at Oracle for 20 years. No phone call. No meeting. An email at 6 AM and a locked laptop.
The role is still open.
The people we fired are free. The people we hired are not.

The American dream isn’t more money.
It’s a Sunday like this:
1. Bible study and hot coffee
2. Family breakfast
3. Take your family to church
4. Family lunch together
5. Play in the yard all day
6. Grill out and eat on the patio
7. Walk to park
8. Bedtime stories and prayer
9. Hang out with wife and plan week
And, not stressing about money once.
That’s wealth.

It is time for a convention of states. Congress will never term limit itself… and as you are seeing it is broken. Too many of these cats get up to DC and hop onto the uniparty train. The problem is the uniparty doesn’t work for you! It works for special interest.

Jill Biden had a White House staff of 23, costing taxpayers $2.4 million a year.
First Lady Melania Trump has cut the size of the Office of the First Lady to a staff of just 5, saving taxpayers $1.7 million a year.
I wonder why the media hasn’t covered this.

It’s this simple…
The Republicans are one fair election away from destroying the Democrat Party and the Democrats are one stolen election away from destroying America.
It all comes down to Thune enforcing the talking filibuster.
They have 51 votes to save America.

Cash for Clunkers perfectly exemplifies the broken window fallacy in action. The government spent $3 billion to destroy 690,000 perfectly functional vehicles, claiming this would "stimulate" the economy by forcing people to buy new cars. What they actually did was obliterate billions of dollars worth of working capital that could have served lower-income families for years to come.
The program artificially inflated new car sales by cannibalizing future demand and destroying the used car market. Those "clunkers" weren't junk—they were reliable transportation that mechanics could have maintained, parts suppliers could have serviced, and budget-conscious buyers could have afforded. Instead, bureaucrats decided to crush them into scrap metal to create the illusion of economic activity.
This wasn't stimulus—it was capital destruction on a massive scale. Real economic growth comes from saving, investment, and the accumulation of productive assets, not from government programs that literally destroy wealth to generate temporary sales spikes. The program made cars more expensive for everyone while making transportation less accessible for those who needed it most.
Every crushed engine block represented resources that could have continued serving society productively. True prosperity emerges when we preserve and efficiently allocate capital, not when we celebrate its destruction as economic policy.

I mean, why doesn't the President pause in the middle of the SOTU and have the Senate take a voice vote on the SAVE act? They'll have a quorum, and be in session. They only need 50 yesses since JD will be there too.
