I’m in a small percentage of people that get to do what they love to do for a living. I’m lucky.

China should cut heavy industries’ share in gross domestic output by 9 percentage points between 2013 and 2030 to meet its pollution cuts target.
The reactionary percentage of the electorate in these United States has been relatively constant since McCarthy’s day; I’d estimate it as hovering around 30 percent.
