the New York Times once declared, “One of the worst career moves a woman can make is to have children.”

But having kids isn't an inherent wage-and-job killer. I've spent the last few months digging into evolving research on the motherhood penalty.

Women aren't wrong to suspect they'll pay a real economic price for having kids at younger ages, but those tradeoffs could also change with policy and culture. We all deserve a more nuanced conversation about this.

A first-of-its-kind child care center opened up this year in San Diego, charging parents 50 percent less than market rate, and workers are paid 15 percent above local average. Hours are longer + more flexible.

Only catch? You have to work for the San Diego Police Department

I wrote about the police childcare model, which is spreading across the country. There's already a bipartisan bill in Congress to support it. 

Is it a good idea? Advocates think it'll help with recruitment, retention, and boosting women in the field. Others are wary of subsidizing law enforcement agencies further and boosting an employer-based benefit model for child care.

Tens of thousands of houses of worship could close in the next decade due to declining membership + rising costs. Building much-needed affordable housing on that land could provide these institutions with some new revenue streams, and/or ways to cement their mission-oriented legacies when they're gone. 

Building housing on land owned by religious institutions could also provide a way for cities to avoid the blight that comes from having large vacant properties — especially in smaller towns where the structures served as central civic anchors. 

I wrote about the "Yes in God's Backyard" movement—or #YIGBY— and why it offers a practical path forward for new housing in the US

I wrote about what Joe Biden can learn from Harry Truman and LBJ, two presidents who chose not to run for reelection: 

“There is a lure in power,” Harry Truman wrote in 1950, two years before he publicly announced that he would not seek another term. “It can get into a man's blood just as gambling and lust for money have been known to do.”

Power can distort someone’s view of reality, making them believe they’re invincible or somehow not bound by the basic rules of biology. But while that makes power all the more seductive, it’s not impossible to break its spell. After all, for well over a century before there were term limits, American presidents tended to know when to call it quits: If they weren’t killed or voted out, they voluntarily bowed out after serving two terms — that is, until Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and won four consecutive terms.

Notably, two more recent presidents, Harry Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson, chose to walk away from the job. Here’s what Biden can learn from them:

Please use your brains on the internet.

I hosted another episode of Today, Explained recently. Americans owe more than $1 trillion to credit card companies, a record sum that's like to keep growing as rising interest rates prevent cardholders from paying down their debt.
