MAPPED: Europe 9,000 Years Ago
Someone posted this kickass map to reddit:
9,000 years ago was not that long ago in the grand scheme of things. So wild that it used to be a giantttt piece of land that is all now submerged under the sea.
🎬 Would love to see a movie set in this time period and on this land. Or even better, a video game.

Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan gave them a lesson in tech history via meme:
🧠It’s amazing how much information you can communicate through a simple meme.
Poor Countries Choose Tariffs
posted some interesting data to reddit showing that poorer countries are more likely to have higher tariffs:
u/phadafi had a smart reply:
Their industries are not efficient or developed enough to deal with foreign competition so they need to install protectionist measures to allow their industries to compete. They are not poor because of tariffs, they have tariffs because they are poor. Richer countries usually tend to subsidize their failing sectors instead of putting tariffs because they have the money to do so.
Makes sense.
