Good book by Kazuo Ishiguro

I remember taping songs onto compact cassettes off the radio.
It was hard to push the record button at the right time to cut out the DJ or the previous song.
Then I had to cue up the tape to the exact place, ready to record the next song.
Interesting...
No mention of severe damage to oil and natural gas facilities in US-allied Arab countries that have caused some large facilities to "declare force majeure" on delivery contracts. i.e. significant oil refining and gas processing capacity was damaged and can't be repaired for months, if not years.
Referencing the cartoon trope that the victim's head assumes the shape of a frying pan after being violently hit with one.
But others as well.

I'm thinking there must be a study somewhere.
And indeed there is, where they studied people who were born just before and after the end of WW2 sugar rationing in the UK:

Those people are into their 70s and 80s now, so the long term health outcomes are well documented:
...we found that early-life rationing reduced type 2 diabetes and hypertension risk by about 35 and 20% and delayed disease onset by 4 and 2 years, respectively. Protection was evident with in utero exposure and increased with postnatal sugar restriction, especially after 6 months, when eating of solid foods likely began. In utero sugar rationing alone accounted for about one-third of the risk reduction.

America250 is the bipartisan Congress-authorized organization to celebrate America's 250th birthday over the July 4th weekend.
This is NOT Trump's Freedom250, with the UFC fight, diminshing musical artist lineup, etc.
