30,573. That’s how many lies were documented to have been told by President Trump between 2017 and 2021 – his first term in office. As impressive as it may be to have lied 30,573 times in 1,460 days (and those are only “official” lies – not what he says to his friends, family, golf partners, […]

50.6%. That is the percentage of out-of-school 16-24 year-olds who are working in the UK and, to be clear, UK’s “middle school” ends at 16 at which point students either test for college, go to trade school or join apprenticeships, so that number means a lot more to the British than it would in the […]
