卧槽太可怕了，如果老人在得了老年痴呆/阿尔兹海默症以后，子女没有已经获得power of attorney，法院回给当事人判一个陌生人作为guardian。 guardian一般直接把他们扔进nursing home，管控财产 nursing home的生活其实真的很凄惨很可怜很可怕，不管是多么豪华的机构。 我怕的想多生俩孩子了。。。

悉尼·斯威尼：“人们在片场看到我光鲜亮丽的样子，但最能让我放松的是去修理厂。我成长在一个机械世家。从小我就开始换轮胎和机油了。最近，我实现了一个梦想：我买了一辆1969年的福特野马，并亲自把它修复了。”

托马斯·索维尔他今年94岁，从未担任过公职，从未有过爆红时刻，也从未刻意让你关注他。他只是写了30本书，花了50年时间运用数据逐一驳斥谬论，并让作品本身说话。没有演讲后台休息室，没有有线新闻网的合约，没有要向你推销的意识形态。当学者们忙着追逐资助经费，政客们忙着追逐民调数据时，索维尔却在图书馆里证明他们全都错了。美国主流最危险的敌人并非那个嗓门最大的，而是那个不需要你认同他的人。

瑞典现任教育部长Minister for Education and Integration出生于穆斯林家庭，其父亲是曾是巴勒斯坦的哈马斯成员，母亲是黎巴嫩什叶派穆斯林，她告诉瑞典人，她不是穆斯林，瑞典人还真信了！ 她上台后强推伊斯兰教课程，使其成了瑞典所有学校学分最高的选修课，她要求所有瑞典🇸🇪学生必须了解伊斯兰教，她说瑞典需要伊斯兰教，只有伊斯兰教能救瑞典。

为什么高学历的知识分子，往往热衷于最糟糕的社会实验？ 哈耶克早就看透了这群人。 他们大脑里有一种致命的傲慢。 只要是他们无法理解的东西，就一律被判定为荒谬。 在这些精英眼里，“理性”有一个绝对的前提。 那就是必须能被他们的智商完全解构。 传统习俗太复杂，市场自发运转看不见摸不着。 既然算不出来，那就是不理性的。 他们本能地排斥所有无法被写进计划书的规则。 这就解释了为什么他们如此迷恋权力。 无论是华盛顿的建制派官僚，还是大洋彼岸的计划经济操盘手。 他们总觉得自己能用几张表格规划几亿人的生活。 千万人的自由交易在他们看来就是无序的混乱。 他们要打碎一切自发秩序，换上自己设计的精密牢笼。 人类社会的底座，恰恰建在那些无法被轻易算计的常识之上。 真正的智慧，是承认理性的边界。 妄图扮演上帝的人，最后都造出了地狱。

霍尔木兹海峡的印度油轮船长在无线电中愤怒爆发，对伊朗革命卫队船艇咆哮道： “你给了我通行许可！ 你的文件上我的名字列为第二号！ 现在你们却向我开火？！ 给我一个掉头回去的机会！” 伊朗人……就像呼吸一样自然……他们撒谎……他们背叛……然后在背后捅你一刀。

Four women meet at their 30-year class reunion. One goes to the restroom while the other three start talking about their successful sons. First lady: My son studied economics, became a banker, and is so rich he gave his best friend a Ferrari. Second lady: My son became a pilot, started his own airline, and is so rich he gave his best friend a jet. Third lady: My son became an engineer, started his own development company, and is so rich he built his best friend a castle. The fourth lady returns from the restroom and asks what the buzz is about. They tell her they were talking about how successful their sons were and ask about her son. Fourth lady: My son is gay and works at a gay bar. The other three ladies, feeling sorry for her, ask if she is disappointed with her son for not having a successful career. Fourth lady: Oh no! He's doing fine. Last week for his birthday he got a Ferrari, a jet, and a castle from three of his boyfriends.

I wouldn’t worry. There’s more to life than money.

‼️NEW -- Canada just had the LARGEST Sikh festival in the world, the Vaisakhi Parade in Vancouver today, with an estimated 600,000 in attendance. There are now more Sikhs per capita in Canada, than in India.

BREAKING: A source close to Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says radio silence, combat force positioning, equipment transfers, and US-Israeli coordination suggest "America may intend to initiate military engagement before the end of the two-week ceasefire." The source adds that Iran "has fully utilized the ceasefire to develop game-changing operational plans and is ready for confrontation."

我年轻时，加州的议会里充斥着寻求不正当利益的保险经纪人和律师，他们整天被餐厅、酒吧和妓女招待着。现在，我们有了一个全新的议会，而我只想让以前那帮老骗子回来。 笑吧，你们这些年轻人啊，也总有一天会希望佩洛西和特朗普不死。

网球运动员比久坐不动的人多活9.7年。 不是9.7个月。是9.7年。近十年。 哥本哈根城市心脏研究追踪8577人25年，排名每项运动增加的寿命。 羽毛球：6.2年。足球：4.7年。骑行：3.7年。游泳：3.4年。慢跑：3.2年。 网球寿命延长是慢跑的近3倍。 另一项8万成人研究发现，拍拍类运动降低全因死亡率47%、心血管死亡率56%。游泳41%。有氧运动36%。 问题是为什么拍拍类运动效果这么好。 三个机制相互叠加。 首先是身体需求。网球回合需要爆炸性冲刺、横向切割和持续有氧输出。同时训练快肌纤维和慢肌纤维。大多数有氧运动只训练一个系统。 其次是认知负荷。你在读旋转、预测角度、调整位置、实时执行动作。你的大脑在80+英里时速下解决空间谜题。这种手眼协调和战略处理建立保护认知衰退的神经连接。 第三，研究人员一直强调的：你不能独自打。每项拍拍运动都需要另一个人在网的另一边。这种强制社交互动触发单独运动无法复制的神经化学益处。强社交联系本身增加寿命50%。 慢跑是你和你的思想。网球是你、战略对手和社区。 丹尼尔·亚蒙医生是对的。数据压倒性。如果你想要最高投资回报率的活动来延长寿命，拿起球拍吧。

I’ll never get over this throw of Kelsey Plum, absolutely incredible!👏

Chevron divested from Canada and now expanding its oil operations and investing in Venezuela. Just another example part of the hundreds of billions of dollars that left Canada and could have been in Canada. Shameful.

My nagging wife died suddenly on a trip to Jerusalem... Funeral director: "Sir, it would cost about £45,000 if we send her home back to the UK or £500 if we bury her here in Jerusalem." Me: "Ship her home." Funeral director: "But sir, why don't you bury her here in the Holy Land and you can save money." Me: "A long time ago a man was buried here and 3 days later he rose from the dead, I can't take that risk."
