There have been recent reports of large job cuts across the country. E-commerce and technology giant Amazon, for example, is eliminating 16,000 corporate jobs, partly to reduce its organizational structure — but also because it expects “efficiency gains” as artificial intelligence is used more extensively across the company.
Almost at the same time, United Parcel Service said it will eliminate 30,000 delivery jobs — in part because it is getting less business from Amazon.

Maybe there’s something to this notion that weather extremes are getting greater. We had record breaking high temperatures in December and record breaking low temperatures in January.
January 31 beat the all-time low for that day by one degree. This year’s low was 16 degrees, lower by one degree than January 31, 1966. The high that day this year was 28 degrees, a whopping five degrees lower than the January 31, 1996 high of 33 degrees. And the wind was blowing at 25 knots. Brrr!
