But for too many others that's not the case. It seems it would be a doubling of grief that in addition to dealing with the loss of a beloved part of your life, to also have to endure a crushing financial burden.

To have a loved one who suffers from it is (sometimes) to endure a decade long grieving process as the disease slowly claims them and renders them not unrecognizable, but a shadow of themselves. In my case, as in Cottle's we are fortunate that so far there has not been too much financial strain

There's a third headline, partially obscured that would also have been a good contender for the big above the fold spread

Fair enough - I think I only just started noticing them doing that a few days ago. But it's still a choice they made, and an odd one

Extremely curious also that this story has been flagged as an "Editor's Pick" despite the fact that it is all empty calories

I don't think so - a core reason she even had a challenger in 2023 was because that alignment had already been waffling on her commitments. If she had held firm, I imagine that she would have have easily won.

Are each of these correlations independently measured? I am very curious how they change once you control for median HH income. From the tables in your article, I suspect that many of the correlations with racial demographics may be significantly reduced once you do

Contact the Mayor, Margaret Anderson Kelliher and state legislators to ensure that a deal goes forward in a timely fashion!

Much as it troubles my nerdy heart to say, commercial scale fusion power is far, far in the future, if it ever becomes workable at all

In the short term, Altman sees this being met with fossil gas (he says natural gas), and in the long term solar and fusion. This is wrong headed. Relying on gas is only going to exacerbate the climate crisis. It also is more expensive and takes longer to deploy than solar does - *today*

I feel compelled to state - Altman is here using a slang among energy nerds to make an entirely reasonable point: power, and especially electricity generation are the bottlenecks here. The more troubling part of the exchange follows shortly afterwards

Is it expensive, though? Couldn't it just be an extra line on the license renewal? The city could then anonymize and publish, maybe by census tract.
