A Groundbreaking Study

March 24, 2018June 20, 2019 Jo Tango

Class or race? A recent NY Times article (here) really caught my eye. It is about a massive study of 20 million subjects and shows the impact of race and gender (link to the actual paper here) by analyzing U.S. Census and IRS data.

His Last Speech

January 15, 2018January 15, 2018 Jo Tango

The night before he was killed, MLK, Jr., gave a speech. Here is an excerpt. His last few lines are particularly poignant. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life; longevity has its place. But, I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to

October 16, 2017January 4, 2018 Jo Tango

It is an amazing documentary.   While it comprises of 10 parts and takes an investment of time, it is really gripping and insightful. It also at times is quite horrific. Some of revelations that were new to me: JFK thought the war was unwinnable but feared that he wouldn’t get re-elected if he admitted

Guns

October 4, 2017October 4, 2017 Jo Tango

Sometimes, the news is so shocking, I’m stunned for words. I find it hard to blog. After the mass shooting in Las Vegas, I wasn’t sure what to say. Until now. I recently listened to a Podcast Save America episode. In the recent episode, one of the hosts asks of politicians, “What is your plan?” In
