Plane reading
AviationChicagoEconomicsGeneralGeographyJournalismPersonalSCOTUSTransport policyTravelUS PoliticsI'm flying tomorrow and Sunday, giving me a few uninterrupted hours to read between now and Monday. So I'm just queuing some of these things up:
- The US Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law that prohibits certain medical interventions for minors who want to transition genders.
- As the opinion came from Justice Samuel Alito (R) and the dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor (I), I have a feeling both it and the dissent will satisfy no one.
- The Times characterizes the decision as setting back "the movement" a generation. I'm sure Andrew Sullivan will have a lot to say tomorrow, too.
- James Fallows contrasts his friend William Langewische with the OAFPOTUS's nominee to lead the Federal Aviation Administration.
- The New Republic has a series this week on "the obscene wealth issue."
- One more reason never to buy a Tesla: its cameras are always on.
Finally, after four years, the CTA Red Line stations at Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn, and Bryn Mawr will re-open July 20th, which also means that Purple Line trains will resume running express. I am very pleased that a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar transport project actually finished on time and within budget in Chicago. If only we could do more of them.
