On rolling suitcases, the Real Housewives, and the booming housing market

August 18, 2021 (Heather Cox Richardson)

This is the smartest take on what’s happening in Afghanistan I’ve read.

It addresses a number of issues - foreign aid to the country, refugee resettlement, the logistics of the withdrawal, and the media reporting.

And in true Heather Cox Richardson form, the piece is deeply researched and as objectively written as it could be.

It’s worthy of your time (and her newsletter is a must-subscribe - I read it every day).
