This could be interesting. Icelandic Faultline Has Awakened After 800 Years. Perhaps we'll see other sites along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge come to life.

China is going into a recession. People are feeling it. Gone are the days during the Obama administration when China was handed so much wealth. It was unsustainable. Perhaps the only reason why China isn't benefiting from Biden being in office is that the United States is also suffering, and that there are significantly lower purchasers of Chinese goods. Also, many companies are realizing that Trump was right, and are now moving out of China.

R.I.P. PDQ Bach. I saw his books and listened to some of his programs around the late 1970s. It was sort of humorous, but you had to have some knowledge about Baroque music to understand his jokes.

The State’s Leading Psychiatrist Says Oregon’s Approach to Mental Health Is Wrong. I only disagree that we do indeed need more "cuckoo's nest" hospitals. He may think it's cruel, but I think it's necessary. When things get worse, which I'm sure they will, Dr. Keepers will probably agree. Portland's literally turning into a city of zombies now.

Dutch Bros is slowly moving out of Oregon. The article tries to make it sound like it's not a big deal, but it is. This is just the first step.

You think that's the reason? Low Vaccine Take-Up Blamed for Covid Deaths and Hospitalizations. Being that the people who get recurrent COVID are the ones who got the vax, I don't think this is the case. It's really looking like those who got the jab are chronically less healthy than the unvaxxed, and are more susceptible to infections and other causes of disability, such as POTS, chronic fatigue, cancer and thromboembolic complications.

Google is getting to be full of fake news. Or so they say. But who is to judge? It seems that what the writer claims is fake news is stuff that appears on conservative news sites, which tend to be found true eventually.

Proven time and again. EVs are not suitable for general use in America. They are great when you're a Silicon Valley worker commuting up and down 101. But for the rest of us, nah.

Ticking time bombAmerica has a retirement crisis. Yes it does, and this will be a major crisis in ten to twenty years. The savings rate is abysmal. Democrats will call for a national pension, because they always think that solutions are just a Congressional bill away. People are just not saving for the future, thinking that someone or something will come along and bail them out. Just like many students haven't been paying off their loans for the past three years, thinking that Biden is going to make it all go away.

Portland hipsters always think that the rep on Portland is overblown.
