Time To Say Goodbye - SCOTUS evictions, mixed-race Census, a new silent majority, and the D’Amelios

Hello from the West Coast!

It’s just Jay and Tammy this week, on everything from backyard farming to Barbara Ehrenreich.

* Jay advises Tammy on late-season tomato growing. 🍅

* What to make of SCOTUS’s awful (but anticipated) decision to end the COVID eviction moratorium? Where will it hit worst?

* Why are so many more people (nearly triple!) identifying as mixed-race in the US Census? Does it have anything to do with 23andMe?

* Tammy asks Jay about the latest installment of his NYT newsletter: on what we might learn from the media misfires of 1968.

* Who is teen TikToker Charli D’Amelio, and why does her whole family now have a Hulu reality show? Is it too late to get in on this hustle?

Andy will be back soon. Until then, thanks for listening and supporting us via Patreon and Substack! Stay in touch by email (timetosaygoodbyepod@gmail.com) or Twitter.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Ignaz Semmelweis and His Simple Great Idea

In the mid-19th century, a Hungarian physician named Ignaz Semmelweis advocated for an incredibly simple technique that would go on to save millions of lives. However, when he first proposed it, his idea wasn’t just ignored, it was vehemently rejected by the very people who could have used it to save lives. Not only was the idea rejected, but he was ridiculed to a point that might have led to his early death.
