Why is RENT so high? The same reason. The capitalist says "supply and demand", we MUST raise the price. I'm exhausted by it all.

It was so wild and like memory holed by everyone it seems like. Couldn’t go inside offices or buildings with air conditioning because Covid, couldn’t open windows too cool our house because of smoke, and it was so hot and no one has air conditioning here. And weirdly we thought the post office was going to implode or something so I bought too many stamps…weird weird.

Originally exactly the time I was asking a realtor to run around town to find us a place to buy. Not nearly as bad as the Orange Day in the Bay Area.

Can one reach out to those groups who doesn't work for a municipality? Like someone previously working for a private healthcare company?

Hahaha wow of course! It’s always risky inviting people after July and August, those are the months I tell everyone to come visit.

Don’t EV cars pay the tax as part of the tab renewal?

I can’t remember off the top of my head, I know that day I was driving back from St. Helens and I saw this little island in the smoke so I pulled over and took a photo.

That is an incredible tool! Looks like I need to make sure "St. John Telephone, Inc." which I believe is AKA "Colfax Cable" does have a fiber optic line to the building. It's at least within their coverage.
Thanks a lot!

I had thought it was a new built in cost because of Washington state’s carbon cap and trade. Basically the cost of the new cap and trade system is being passed on to consumers even though the first auction JUST took place and was completely voluntary. Gas companies can now charge higher rates and say “it’s because of this new tax”. (While still pulling in record profit after tax).

The FCC broadband map is a decent starting place, followed by the websites of the ISP's indicated:
They did a major overhaul a few months ago that should significantly reduce the inaccuracies, but at a minimum, knowing what ISP's report to the FCC that they offer service in your area gives you a hint who to contact and confirm.
It looks like Lumen (formerly Centurylink) and St. John's Telephone

That was probably the worst two week stretch I've experienced. Peak covid, and then you couldn't breathe or go outside.
