Oh dear lord. Two economist in the Times propose to make our healthcare system *more* like the airline industry. Yeah that's great, let's slice the population up into ever finer layers of hierarchy just so the ones on the top can feel superior: nytimes.com/2023/07/18/opi…

Took my 7-year old with me when I went to vote yesterday. She asked why we can't just vote online like we do so many other things. I assume she expected a technical answer but instead got a lecture on reconstruction, poll taxes, etc.

Many thanks to Jason Armesto for his thoughtful article on my dad and my speech. We are so lucky to have him here in Charlottesville. And to John Edwin Mason for making me sound less crazy and reminding us how much my dad loved UVA. dailyprogress.com/news/local/edu…
