THE KIDS ARE NOT ALRIGHT
Why are today’s young people embracing Socialism.
A growing number of Generation Z adults are expressing more favorable views toward socialism than previous generations. Analysts point to rising housing costs, student debt, income inequality, and declining trust in institutions as factors shaping these attitudes, while critics argue many younger Americans have limited exposure to the historical outcomes of socialist economic systems.
-----
HUH?
Forgetting, is it more than Alzheimer’s or Dementia?
Occasional forgetfulness is often a normal part of aging rather than a sign of dementia. Health experts note that misplacing keys, temporarily forgetting names, or walking into a room and forgetting why are common memory lapses. Persistent confusion, difficulty performing familiar tasks, or significant personality changes are more concerning symptoms that warrant medical evaluation.

582 Pop Quiz: Did We Learn Anything?
NATIONAL DAY: Early Bird Day — Celebrate morning people or try getting up early for a fresh start.
BIRTHDAY: Dan Aykroyd (born 1952) — Comedic actor (Ghostbusters, Blues Brothers, Saturday Night Live).
THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1943 — The U.S. government began withholding income taxes from paychecks.
-----
EARLY BIRD
Rising early has been linked to improved productivity, better metabolic health, and lower stress by aligning daily routines with natural daylight and typical work schedules. Morning hours often provide uninterrupted time for exercise, planning, and focused work, while early risers may also benefit from shorter commutes and fewer daily distractions.
-----
INCOME TAX!
On July 1, 1943, the United States began withholding federal income taxes directly from employee paychecks under the Current Tax Payment Act. Adopted during World War II, the "pay-as-you-go" system dramatically expanded tax collection as millions of Americans became new taxpayers and remains the foundation of federal payroll withholding today.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM – A FAILURE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS
Following renewed debate over democratic socialism in American politics, historical examples from the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and other nations continue to fuel discussions about central planning, nationalization, price controls, and government intervention. Supporters argue expanded social programs improve economic fairness, while critics point to long-term economic stagnation, debt, inflation, and reduced private investment as cautionary lessons from history.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1908 — The Tunguska event: A massive explosion flattened 800 square miles of Siberian Forest (likely an asteroid or comet).
-----
On June 30, 1908, an asteroid or comet exploded high above Siberia, creating the largest impact event in recorded history.

-----
