Well, this was in an era before the Federal Reserve existed, and it is why we have a Federal Reserve Bank.

While it's always fun to fund historical parallels, it's all a bit of a stretch.

You'd be better off looking at the Spanish Flu of 1918 for a comp.

My nephew wants to play with my sister-in-law’s phone whenever he sees it. He’s 18 months now. He’s been doing this since he was around six months old.

I changed the settings on my sons iPad so that I can control how much time he gets. I give him access in 15 minute increments. That’s it.

We will watch movies on the weekends sometimes as a treat.

Screens are everywhere. It’s a constant battle.
