Corporate media
are caving.

Trump is bringing the media to heel through government coercion and multibillion-dollar lawsuits. But Mother Jones won’t be intimidated. Through September 30, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar thanks to a $50,000 matching gift. That means twice the impact to power fearless reporting. The truth is under attack. Please stand with us.

This is from a recent paper by Angela Coolsa and Eleonora Patacchini:

We examine the impact of having a younger brother on females’ adolescent environment and adult earnings….Girls with a younger brother earn about 7 percent less in their adulthood.

I don’t know what to say about this. I’m sorry, Karen. You’d be making 7 percent more if it weren’t for me. That’s thousands of dollars I’ve cost you! Each and every year!
