Where the Pop lives.
I was curious about the given etymology of âBattery Parkâ, and it took me a hot second to realize that by âassault batteriesâ they meant artillery, and not a misphrasing of the common expression related to violent crime.
A little of this, a little of that.
I wonder whether this means that people are rejecting the institute of marriage, or feel less societal pressure to respect said institute? Or something else.
I used to think I knew a lot about NYC and its history, but I learned quite a few things from that. Thanks for sharing.
Less societal pressure. Despite of this, the marriage rate in Germany is still relatively high for tax reasons.
The system of tax brackets is essentially still designed around the 1950ies idea of a nuclear family, i.e. one provider who generates the bulk of the family income working full time and a partner that works either part time or not at all.
So thereâs a tangible incentive and itâs a lot easier to get a divorce now than it was then.
I am completely unsurprised about who leads the pack thereâŚ
Iceland? Why for? (Genuinely curious)
They seem like a country that doesnât care for a convention like marriage and are more interested in whatâs best for the child⌠Plus⌠you know⌠Bjork.
randy scandiâs?
It is mighty dark for much oâ the yearâŚ
