It means becoming a team to face the world together

Married 25, together close to 30. We have taken on the world, had each other's back, and are still best friends, even after retirement when we're together almost all the time. Doesn't get any better than that!

Greenland? Meh, let's get what we want through diplomatic means.

As for the women, they are putting career first, delaying any thought of marriage, then baby hunger kicks in during the 30s as they see their window of opportunity closing, but still remain picky about their choice of men, then finding there is a shortage of males who want to marry older, “independent minded” (translate: kinda bitchy) career women.

These are descriptions of proximal causes, but what are the underlying dynamics leading to them?

I attribute a large portion of this change to TV and movie portrayals of family life. In the 50's and 60's you had Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best. Men were the leaders of the household, and the wives were strong women who supported their men. A unified front.

Starting in the 70's, men were increasingly portrayed as buffoons. Only the mothers had the right answers, the fathers were to be laughed at. We now have several generations of women who believe they're to be the strong leader of the family, and the husband is to be an inconsequential amusement. The disconnect comes as these Hollywood farces don't come close to representing real families and real life.

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet

Taxman!
Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath)
Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one but me
Taxman!

Great song, great album.

One aspect of the F1 engine that always blows me away is the turbo fuel pump, 55,000hp just to pump fuel and oxidizer to the engine. Ten locomotives worth of power. Amazing!

I agree. All speculation of course, but I think it imploded and they all died instantly.  Take stupid risks  pay stupid prices.

I believe that when you’re so rich that all worldly things are ordinary one has to do otherworldly things just to get a kick. Go into space on SpaceX, go to the Titanic, etc.
