☆ Opinion | Flau’jae and Wyclef Jean Are Rapping About Personal Finance. Good.
  + stars: | 2024-03-08 | by ( Peter Coy | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Flau’jae, the 20-year-old star of basketball and hip-hop, does not manage $1.3 trillion in assets for clients. She also does not have an army of financial advisers and economists at her disposal. Listen to “Paper Right,” a recently released hip-hop track recorded by Wyclef Jean, a founding member of the Fugees, with guest appearances by artists including Flau’jae, Pusha T, Lola Brooke and Capella Grey. I wrote on Monday about a program that teaches math through personal finance and personal finance through math. You have to keep your eyes on the prize — and to know that there’s a prize you should want in the first place.

☆ She Issued a Call to ‘#MakeJewishBabies.’ Some Are Taking It Seriously.

Marrying a Jewish man — and having Jewish children — wasn’t a top priority for Irina Barskaya. Despite pressure from her mother and her older sister, Ms. Barskaya, a 33-year-old hair and makeup artist from Brooklyn, said that in her search for Mr. Scrolling through social media between clients at the Midwood salon where she works, Ms. Barskaya found herself in tears at reports of the Hamas attacks on Israelis, in which about 1,200 people were killed, according to the authorities. As the scale of the killings became clear in the following days, Ms. Barskaya thought of her family and friends in Israel, and felt a new resolve to reproduce with another Jew. “There’s not a lot of us in the world,” Ms. Barskaya said.

☆ A Battle Over China’s Reproductive Future Is Underway - The New York Times

By 25, her Chinese parents were accusing her of causing them a public loss of face because she still had no plans to wed. Her father warned her that women are worth less to a man as they near the age of 30, when — according to Chinese government propaganda — their peak childbearing time has passed. When Amiee was 29, her mother threatened to jump off a building if she didn’t find a husband. Amiee — whose full name is being withheld to avoid potential repercussions for questioning government policy — wasn’t against marriage, per se. I hear similar stories from single women across China, where sexist state propaganda labels single professional women older than 27 as sheng nu, or leftover women.

☆ Opinion | Kevin McCarthy, Humiliated Once Again
  + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Frank Bruni | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
I watched him and I thought of Mitch McConnell clinging to a different lectern in a different city two weeks earlier, his physical struggle unquestionable but his thirst for dominance still unquenched. I thought of all the other Republicans — Mark Meadows, Peter Navarro, Lindsey Graham, the list is endless — who prostituted themselves for Trump. McCarthy right now is the main character in that story. And what a pathetic character he is. It wasn’t that the accumulated evidence had finally crossed some threshold or reached some tipping point.

☆ Opinion | The Irony in the ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’
  + stars: | 2023-08-19 | by ( Jamelle Bouie | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
You may have heard about Oliver Anthony, a Virginia-based folk singer who has become a conservative folk hero on account of his populist anthem, “Rich Men North of Richmond.”But Anthony’s populism is, as Eric Levitz details for New York magazine, decidedly right-wing. Resentment of inequality and the precariousness of working-class life pervades the rest of the song too. But Anthony persistently channels these resentments away from the bosses and shareholders who profited off his ill-compensated labor and onto targets sanctioned by conservative orthodoxy: tax-hiking politicians, pedophilic cabals, and obese welfare moochers. I don’t have any particular interest in either Anthony or the song in question (although Levitz’s piece is good and you should read it). One of the most common misconceptions about Jim Crow is that it came directly out of the defeat of Reconstruction.

As you both know, there’s a difference between documenting and investigating. At what point did you start to think, “There’s something worth investigating here”? PESPAS: We started realizing that the money wasn’t really being used properly, and we wanted to document that. Start a charity.”LIPMAN-STERN: We’d raise money for major police organizations ——PESPAS: Well, it wasn’t just that. So they would call you for firemen, then they would call you for veterans, then they would call you for the police.

☆ 'How dare he?' New Hampshire seethes at Biden's planned changes to the 2024 Democratic presidential primaries

“How dare he?” Laurie Jasper, a member of the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women, said. Salting the wound was the revelation that South Carolina hadn’t even asked to be first, and officials there contend they were as surprised as anyone to be handed the spot. In South Carolina, the majority of Democratic primary voters are African American. “North Carolina is more diverse than South Carolina. Democrats say they aren’t about to retreat behind South Carolina and anyway, they can’t.
