Can you help me understand why the distance between the power source and the load impacts how long it would take to turn on? I remember a video a while back (veritasium maybe?) that explained it like metaphorically pushing/pulling a chain inside the wire, but why would distance to the source impact this?

That’s how the minimum age for purchasing tobacco used to work in the US; if states wanted a specific chunk of federal funding, their minimum age had to be set to at least 18.

I think age / location / profession have a lot to do with what socioeconomic circles people run in.

Not to mention luck of the draw.

From the fonts I’d guess NYT

Edit: other comments are saying Washington Post
