Huh. Federally funded childcare passed Congress with bipartisan support in the 1970s before Nixon vetoed it over anti-communist concerns. npr.org/transcripts/49785029…

How Politics Killed Universal Child Care In The 1970s

In 1971, the United States came very close to having universal, federally subsidized child care. How did Congress come to pass the legislation? And why President Nixon vetoed it?

Here's where click-bait bullshit is dumb. These headlines don't match the story and overlook an inspiring message (and as a result, inspire a flood of racist comments).

Fun stats on reading here. According to the deeper data, at more than 50 books a year, I’m in the top 1% (no word on more than 160 books, which is about where I’m at so far this year). Original article by @dhmontgomery : today.yougov.com/entertainme…

pretty amazing stat: only 54% of Americans have read a single book this year and print books are thriving relative to digital (which surprises me!). I mostly do audiobooks/kindle these days some more details: - women mostly reading mystery/romance - men mostly reading history/scifi - 82% of Americans read 10 or fewer books. - men (58%) are more likely than women (53%) to read for work or school. - only 32% of the US population reads books for pleasure. - print books are more popular than e-books or audio books. - adults with a household income of less than $30,000 are more likely to be non-readers than those with a household income of $75,000 or more.
