Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns
Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

A pet theory I've been developing is that gamers naturally expect all old games to be cheap -- and get grossly offended when they're not -- because they're so used to Steam sales that knock game prices from $60 to $6: www.polygon.com/steam-black-...
Steam surprises fans with first ever Black Friday sale, and it's a good one
From now until Dec. 1, Valve is holding a special sale that discounts everything from GOTY picks to indies you've never heard of (but should!)

It says a lot about the modern American economy that law firms are taking up 10% of all office space.
Law firms now make up more than a tenth of all leasing activity for U.S. office space, doubling their share since the pandemic as other sectors have pulled back, according to newly released data from brokerage Savills reut.rs/3KaTfeS
