A Yale Professor Suggested Mass Suicide for Old People in Japan. What Did He Mean? (Published 2023)
His pronouncements could hardly sound more drastic. In interviews and public appearances, Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, has taken on the question of how to deal with the burdens of Japan’s rapidly aging society. “I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,” he said during one online news program in late 2021. “In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of
In Portugal, There Is Virtually No One Left to Vaccinate (Published 2021)
Many Western nations fortunate enough to have abundant vaccine supplies have seen inoculation rates plateau, with more than 20 percent of their populations still unprotected.

The streets were empty, the air was sultry and the workers hoped it would not rain. Machines rumbled to life. It was a little thing, barely noticed. But it was a sign of the sometimes futile and farcical lengths taken to put on the biggest show in s
Opinion | What the Rich Don’t Want to Admit About the Poor (Published 2021)
I’m not going to pretend that I know how to interpret the jobs and inflation data of the past few months. My view is that this is still an economy warped by the pandemic, and that the dynamics are so strange and so unstable that it will be some time before we know its true state.

Opinion | I Don’t Want to Be the Strong Female Lead (Published 2020)
I moved to Los Angeles to become an actress at 24. These are character descriptions of roles I have read for: “thin, attractive, Dave’s wife”; “robot girl, a remarkable feat of engineering”; “her breasts are large and she’s wearing a red sweater.” I stuffed my bra for that last one.
