Good morning! Woke to find that it’s apparently now December, winter solstice within touching distance!
Somehow I know I’ll dreaming of the light all day!
Happy new month to you!

1- Obsession
Tom Waits
🎶 Foreign affair
...
The obsession's in the chasing and not the apprehending
The pursuit, you see, and never the arrest ...

Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit.
Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular.
So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

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.
