According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

When the weather gets wintery there are 2 types of people: grumbles, and those of us who enjoy the stark beauty. May you find beauty every day.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

The snowstorm created a lot of work on the Chassell Classic Ski Trail this week! Steve and I would spend twenty-two hours between us from Thursday through Saturday chainsawing fallen trees, knocking snow from trees bowed over the trail, and pruning trees. We rolled and tracked today!
