For those interested in what her PhD research is actually about, I managed to track down one of her papers:
> Incarcerated Scholars, Qualitative Inquiry, and Subjugated Knowledge: The Value of Incarcerated and Post-Incarcerated Scholars in the Age of Mass Incarceration
http://www.jpp.org/documents/back%20issues/JPP%2025-2.pdf
It looks like it's mostly about the Indiana Women's Prison History Project which she participated in.

Likewise, whenever I book a last-minute flight with only middle seats available, I make sure to ask the agent to place me between two passengers with the same last name.

The woman in the article is living in her car. She could just drive there.

Think about potential drivers in rural areas. I can see this being a key feature that helps Lyft expand into areas with low population density and sparse ridership. Drivers don't want to turn on the app and wait all day -- they'd rather schedule that trip in advance.

> Although Sessions denied that he had acted improperly, he was pressured to resign in early July, with some suggesting that President Clinton was giving Sessions the chance to step down in a dignified manner. Sessions refused, saying that he had done nothing wrong, and insisted on staying in office until his successor was confirmed. As a result, President Clinton dismissed Sessions on July 19, 1993.

Agreed. While I thought the Southwest airlines story was very interesting (fighting court battles for years before operating their first flight!), I could barely make it through the show on 5-hour Energy.

The story isn't so simple. Hispanics have a longer life expectancy than non-Hispanic whites in the US, despite having much lower income levels. This is known as the Hispanic Epidemiological Paradox, and a lot of research has gone into studying this: https://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S46/31/53A76/

Most Americans don't have a passport and have never left the country.

This is really evident when you look at the genetic data from places like Ancestry.com and 23andMe. The states with highest percentage British/Irish are all in the South:
