Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia erupts for the first time in recorded history. Mount Semeru erupted recently. The volcanos are waking up. It's far away, but somehow this disturbs me.

Let's talk about the Asian experience in the US throughout history. Heh, not the guy I thought would be discussing something like this, but we can't judge by appearances, can we? It's true. Asians have been discriminated against for a long time. I don't think that Trump is discriminating against Asians. I think he's just concerned that China is a dangeous economic threat to the U.S., which is something that previous administrations (think Obama) neglected to consider in their drive to globalization. Witness Trump's embrace of the Japanese PM. However, I am disappointed that his online swag shop had hats with "Blacks for Trump", "Women for Trump" and a variety of other groups, but never had "Asians for Trump". Forgotten again.

Wisconsin and Michigan may pass laws banning VPNs, just so they can force their age-verification policy. I've always said that the Internet is just not a place for children, even though people want to get children online. Forcing age-verification is violating online privacy. And there will be other ways to get around this. Politicians were never the brightest bulbs.

Study shows that California loses a taxpayer every 1 minute and 44 seconds. For New York, it's 2 minutes and 33 seconds, and this is data from before Mamdani won the election. I predict it will be the same situation for Seattle. It's already something like this with Portland.
And for those who stay in Seattle, juggling two or more jobs isn’t just for low-wage workers. Hope you love your socialism, Seattle-ites. Good and hard.

Seattle and Portland are amongst the heaviest users of cannabidiol. Are people in so much pain in the Pacific Northwest, or have epilepsy? One wonders.

Verizon is cutting 165 jobs in Washington state. Layoffs start in late January. Holiday season bummer. More tax base reduction and business contraction.
