Making your own sirracha mayo! You can adjust exactly how much spice you want in it. Or add in other flavors as desired... I once had to do a Gochujang mayo when out of sirracha, it was different but still good.

Usually these costs are including education and childcare. In the US you can easily expect to pay around $1K / Month for full time child care between the ages of 6 months and 5 years (when they'll start public school). Here's a recent summary for major cities in Texas reflecting that amount: https://tootris.com/edu/blog/parents/child-care-in-texas-can-cost-up-to-10000/
That's over $40K just in childcare costs before entering school. Now, many people don't have to pay this because they have family (or a non-working spouse) who assist; but from a cost perspective it's fair to include.
Add on to that food, clothing and such... between ages it's easy to see how some estimates can reach over $200K through age 18.
The Ola one looks pretty dang nice; if it were available in the US I'd probably buy one just for random rides on nice weather days.

This is great momentum; especially if it helps down ballot Colin Allred defeat Ted Cruz for the senate. Some polling has him within 5 points (or even tied in a few polls earlier this year). It's a bit of a stretch; but Texas is notorious for it's low voter turnout. Moving a few % of this non-voting population to feel like their vote matters & get them to show up would be enough to shift these races!
VIX under 20 isn't a warning... The stock market valuation indicator I agree with: stocks are a bit over valued right now. But over valued just means we need a correction... not whether it will be a mild or severe one.
What's more troubling is the market reacting already to nonsense trump comments. From the caption in the linked article:
The latest market sell-off was partly triggered by former President Donald Trump's comments on Taiwan and tariffs.
Does no one else remember the dumpster fire that was the markets jumping at every comment and policy flip-flop during his four year term? The same volatility indicator (VIX) regularly jumped over 20 after some dumb trade policy comment...
The fact that everything was a dream was kind of the point for Alice in Wonderland... no? It wasn't a twist at the end, it was clear she was descending into a dream as she followed the white rabbit. It was all about how dreams don't have to make sense.
Your vote is sending a signal to future elections. If Ohio has a 20-point red margin, it's unlikely to get any attention from blue candidates. If it has a 5% margin, that changes, and suddenly the next campaign considers spending time & money to try and move the needle.
Remember the old Roman adage: "you're not defeated until you admit defeat". If you don't vote: you've lost. If you vote, you might still lose that election but there's a better chance to win in the future.
Both strengthening relations with Russia recently too.

And that about half of voters still back the party doing it...
The reality of Texas green energy is so detached from the political rhetoric from politicians... The state making the most wind energy has leaders in the capital demonizing it while the state finances (and citizens) clearly benefit. I wish the voters of Texas paid more attention and called out such obvious gaslighting :(
