Boulder must be a crazy place(assuming one can afford to live there)for your run of the mill runner-like me. I used to work for the jack-ass company (Jack Rabbit) that successfully ruined several run specialty stores across the country, starting with the Boulder Running Company. You could mine a lot of interesting stories if you felt inclined to investigate the FinishLine/Jack Rabbit/Critical Point private Equity/Fleet Feet debacle. What a s**tstorm! Cheers!
Yikes! Several points well taken, but, jeez, if Boulder is so tough on you, why do your remain there? I have a friend who's a realtor in Boulder and says the AVERAGE sale price she had had recently has been $1.5 million! Good grief! It is scary how many people(asleep, woke, left, right, educated and stupid alike) are the walking dead and are like Frank Zappa said "America drinks and goes to bed." Or something like that.
For someone who hates the corporate media as much as you do, you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time consuming its offerings. This reminded me of a story (probably apocryphal) that did the rounds in Cape Town many years ago.
Graaff's Pool was an oceanside pool in the Sea Point area where gay men used to congregate to swim and sunbathe in the nude: https://neilovery.com/2016/09/07/graaffs-pool/. An elderly woman in a Sea Point apartment used to call the local police to complain about being able to see nude men from her apartment window. When the police went to investigate, they were puzzled, because they couldn't see any naked men from there. They asked the woman how she was able to see them. She said "Well, you pull this table over to the window, put this chair on top of it, stand on the chair and use these binoculars."
And in terms of the quality of journalism, by coincidence FB reminded me that I posted the following 7 years ago:
Youngsters, if you fail math and logic, don't worry, you could still become a journalist.
Did you know that 83% of North Carolina's registered Republicans are Democrats? I bet they didn't either. Leastwise, that what a couple of sentences in an article in last Monday's News & Observer seem to be saying:
"Fewer than 2 percent of North Carolina's registered Republicans are African-American. Eighty-three percent are Democrats while most of the rest are unaffiliated." (The article was headed "N.C. GOP has black leaders, few followers".)
(BTW, youngsters, if you are hopeless at languages, including your mother tongue, you may still be able to make it as a biostatistician. Just ask me.)
