“Where to find the time of day changes depending on what [driving] mode you’re in,” he said. “The buttons that go through your six favorite channels don’t work if it’s satellite radio channels. It takes so many tries to hit one button in your jiggly car, and it just doesn’t work.”

This week's newsletter is inspired by the first female winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for debunking the ecofascist "tragedy of the commons" theory.
