WSJ Clips: Bikes and Baby making

This post was written May 1st, but I didn’t publish it. So here it is.

Bike-sharing program is launching in Washington, D.C. next month. Similar to Zipcar and PhillyCarShare, users pay an annual fee ($40) and can pickup bikes from computerized racks stationed around the city. I remember watching a film about Holland called ‘Sex, Drugs and Democracy’ that featured, among other things, this very idea…except it was state-run and free to use.

U.S. Hispanic Population Growth driven by Domestic Birthrate

Births to Death Ratio b/w 2000 and 2007 by Race

Whites 1.6

Blacks 2.4

Hispanics 8.4!!!

And their disposable income is $860 billion/year, expected to hit $1.3 trillion by 2012. How can I benefit from this? I took 3 years of Spanish.
