Child mortality has declined in every region in the world. In 1950, globally nearly one in every four children died before their fifth birthday. In Africa, it was one in three. Since then, child mortality rates have declined in every part of the world.

🇺🇸 Six Flags Magic Mountain just finished installing a new 12.4 MW #solar installation above its parking lot, officially California’s largest solar carport. It’s expected to generate enough electricity each year to offset both the amusement park and neighboring Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles.

In Germany, the curb can charge your car. Developed by Rheinmetall, these electric vehicle charging points are integrated directly into sidewalk curbs, removing the need for conventional charging posts. The compact system delivers up to 22 kW while taking up virtually no additional sidewalk space.

And if you're a landlord reading this, install it onto your investment. That's an order. Stop dicking your tenants around. With solar, they'll be happy, they'll stick around, and your investment will grow in value. With solar, you can indeed have your cake and eat it too.

Why have we normalised airport redesigns which channel thousands of people through gift shops without thinking about emergency situations? What would happen in a fire broke out (or worse) in a long, twisting room full of tonnes of flammable obstacles with no clear exit? I can't make sense of it.

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.
