I would be super if people were better able to differentiate between “thing I don’t like” and “thing that is the root cause of major cultural problems.”

1. When Walmart opens a store, it drives down local wages more than it reduces prices. Some warned of this 20 years ago (me!), but most cities and towns welcomed Walmart anyway. Now, a robust new study shows Walmart’s damage is even worse than feared.

Imagine thinking there's "too much negativity" and thinking the solution is Donald Trump, someone who can't even wish people Merry Christmas without throwing in a jab about the "losers and haters"

I haven't seen much written on unusual downslope mountain waves that were responsible for the worst wind damage in Seattle's eastern suburbs on Tuesday evening. So if you're curious to know why Issaquah was hit especially hard, I've got you covered: theconvergencezone.com/2024/11/24/h...
How did Tuesday’s bomb cyclone trigger a major mountain wave windstorm over Seattle’s eastern suburbs?
Last Tuesday, a frontal cyclone rapidly deepened over the Pacific Ocean about 1,000 km to the west of Seattle. The storm was a “triple bomb”, meaning it reached around triple the 24 hPa…
