Simply remarkable: shipping rate for 40-ft container from Shanghai to Los Angeles has slipped below long-term average (going back to 2011, full series), putting to bed [the] notion that shipping rates are still elevated relative to entire pre-pandemic era pic.twitter.com/quFFF5V6Uw

"shipping rate for 40-ft container from Shanghai to Los Angeles has slipped below long-term average (going back to 2011 . . .)"

Presentism. Judging ancestors by today's standards? Worth learning about. Leaving this up here because I want to finish the whole thing.
Thanks to Steve Bartin.
Strange Career of Jim Crow, C. Vann Woodward, 1955. Amazon's description has this to say,
The Strange Career of Jim Crow is one of the great works of Southern history. Indeed, the book actually helped shape that history. Published in 1955, a year after the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education ordered schools desegregated, Strange Career was cited so often to counter arguments for segregation that Martin Luther King, Jr. called it "the historical Bible of the civil rights movement." The book offers a clear and illuminating analysis of the history of Jim Crow laws, presenting evidence that segregation in the South dated only to the 1890s. Woodward convincingly shows that, even under slavery, the two races had not been divided as they were under the Jim Crow laws of the 1890s. In fact, during Reconstruction, there was considerable economic and political mixing of the races. The segregating of the races was a relative newcomer to the region.
McClanahan points out that Jim Crow was born in New England. Calls Woodward a Beardian, who supported economic determinism? Avery Craven raised the point as well that . . . "We had this civil war in American history, and the north was right and that's the position we're going to base our arguments off of, and the South was wrong almost all the time and we're going to discount what they're saying. . . ." All that Woodward and Craven are saying is that the South are valuable in this argument and maybe there's some merit to some of the things they said. The history of Tom Watson, an agrarian rebel, is good It's a good book.

You're no yellow-bellied rat . . . but as a precaution, take Melatonin . . .
Hypoperfusion is a term that describes "a reduced amount of blood flow". When ischemia develops due to low blood flow, we may describe this as "hypoperfusion". Causes for hypoperfusion include low blood pressure, heart failure or loss of blood volume.

Arrest of Huawei's Meng Wanzhou . . . was a private initiative by John Bolton. Trump was apparently unaware of it before the fact."
So. What I learned here is that John Bolton is Davos loyal. Makes sense. He’s not even a real neocon just an errand boy for Klaus the Commie https://t.co/rdlbl0qXy5
