A viral social media post claims a housewife in 1947 could feed her entire family for just $12.50 for the whole week. We get it, we’re grumpy about rising grocery prices so understand why this sort of economic nostalgia is attractive. But does the math add up? Nope. #economics #food #history

,1,In 1896, alcohol was ruining the moral fiber of New York. The solution? The Raines Law, which made it harder to operate drinking establishments, including a ban on the sale of alcohol on Sundays, except for hotel and lodging houses that serve drinks with complimentary meals. Sounds like a terrible idea with puritanical intentions. What could possibly go wrong? #history #historyfacts #historytime #comedy #newyork #drinks #drink #alcohol

Developing green corridors opportunities in Africa to achieve the 2030 shipping breakthrough and zero by 2050 - Aligning Green Shipping and Green Hydrogen Markets to accelerate decarbonization
Shipping and hydrogen’s destinies are interconnected and together present sustainable economic development opportunities. Developing countries, including in Africa, could produce almost 4,000EJ per year of green hydrogen against projected annual shipping demand of 20-40 EJ and at prices more competitive than regions like Europe. African countries are well-placed to lead the global transition. Green hydrogen-based fuels, catalyzed by demand from the shipping sector, could develop new export industries, create thousands of skilled jobs, and accelerate the deployment of renewable energy region-wide. Moreover, market-based incentives to reduce emissions, like carbon levies on ships, could generate additional funding for decarbonization. This event will focus on shipping’s green transition, the role that Africa’s Green Hydrogen capacity can play, and how both can contribute to national opportunities and action plans.
