Non-materialistic millennials: A really interesting blog post about the spending patterns of millennials and how that effects the economy.

The real Christopher Columbus: Here’s a remarkable diary entry from Columbus when he arrived at the Bahamas:
They brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks’ bells. They willingly traded everything they owned. . . They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They would make fine servants . . . with fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.
Tweet of the day:
It doesn't matter if Paul Ryan @SpeakerRyan says he "will not defend #Trump" fact is he has rescinded his endorsement. Nothing has changed.
