5. Vaping has wiped out decades of effort to reduce smoking among teens.
6. Asians turned against Republicans big time in the 2018 midterms.
7. Wages have hardly increased at all over the past two years.
8. The maternal death rate in America has been increasing for more than two decades.
9. Global temperatures and global sea level continue to rise steadily and catastrophically.
10. Millennials aren’t especially poor. They spend about as much as previous generations.
