You’ve probably heard the story of Rip Van Winkle at some point in your life, and if you can’t remember the details, you’re not alone. Most people are familiar with the concept of the character who slept for a long time and woke up quite confused. What you may forget is that this story, by Washington Irving, is placed in time so...
I got into a conversation with someone recently who said with a straight face that they thought a driver’s license was government overreach. And look. Politics are fraught. Policy is tricky. I get that. But who – WHO in their right mind has ever been making their way through blinding traffic and thought to themselves “you know...
