Almost doing the right thing and then not doing it just makes it worse. Biden had plenty of opportunities to change course and his failure to do so was catastrophic for the entire planet.

I'd be curious to see if there's any correlation between gas prices, transit use, and EV adoption rates. I wouldn't expect those factors alone to fully account for the price difference, but it's possible.

Big win for Seattle consumers 🛒 Today we passed Fair Pricing legislation, banning companies from using your personal data to charge you more than the person next to you. Same product, same store, same price — no matter who’s pushing the cart.

Photo of a bag of groceries with the text “Seattle Becomes First City to Ban Algorithmic Price Fixing”

"Food is an essential good that's getting more expensive all the time," said Mayor Katie Wilson.
"People have been clear: they don't want their data fed into algorithms that decide how much they pay at the grocery store.
Everyone deserves transparent pricing and equal treatment, not hidden systems that charge some shoppers more than others.”

I took a graduate course on communicating climate change, the first day we were tasked to AI-generate a communiqué. I was so incandescent, I spent the next 6 weeks arguing with the deans to let me drop the class on the grounds that I could no longer trust the curriculum.
