Anecdotally, I've noticed more of my customers found me by Googling "map stores near me" and it delights me to know that people are looking.

How many parts of the world have a positive search result near them?

“For half a century, a litany of federal policies has favored large SUVs & trucks, pushing automakers & buyers toward larger models. Instead of counteracting #CarBloat thru regulation, policymakers have subtly encouraged it. That has been a boon for car companies but a disaster for everyone else.”
The reckless policies that helped fill our streets with ridiculously large cars
Dangerous, polluting SUVs and pickup trucks took over America. Lawmakers are partly to blame.

Over the past 40–50 years, cable news has prioritized culture-war coverage over economic issues because it drives viewership and shapes politics—often exploiting our attention for profit. Looking at you, Fox News and other RW outlets.
