Why are red states hiring so much faster than blue states? - "To help untangle what it all means, we descended upon research director Kenan Fikri and his friends at EIG. Fikri, the kind of guy who sounds genuinely delighted to get obscure state-data questions late on a Friday evening, confirmed that stronger unions probably lead to workers staying in their jobs longer in blue states."

Why are these groups so much more likely to wear glasses than any others? - "Myopia has risen even more rapidly in East Asia, where countries have attempted sweeping remedies. A program in Taiwan, for example, encouraged students to participate in two hours of outdoor activity every day. After it began in 2010, researchers found in the journal Ophthalmology, Taiwan’s long rise in myopia went into reverse."
