Most surprising: Illinois having Walmart at #1 with Chicago being loaded with major corporations
Most ironic/sad: Wisconsin having U of Wisconsin with Walker applying across the board cuts to higher education

I know I should not give up, but I've had enough. I've been fighting this since 1980, literally every day of my adult life. Every minute of the last 37 years has been another losing battle against the inexorable victory of the greed, stupidity, and hate of reactionaries. This isn't America anymore.
This used to be a truly great country with noble values. 6000 wealthy families and 60 million morons have turned it into a plutocratic sh-thole with all the dignity and humanity of a rendering plant.
I am tired. I watch the dullard joyfulness of my coworkers guffawing as Dump makes another tweet while in the background the GOP cuts everyone's throat but their own, and the lightbulb burns out.

Think about how insane that is for a minute. Especially with what they're willing to give Foxcomm to destroy the environment.

In essence, that money is coming from UW.

And is there any doubt which of the two helps Wisconsin's economy the most? The University or a foreign corporation? It's insane.

Conservatives fought tooth and nail to stop the US Bank stadium due to government funds. Guess what...that result for the city of Minneapolis has been a stunning boom causing a 120 block redevelopment of pretty much the entire downtown (which was already nicer than most). All this is aided by the city's extremely healthy economy aided by corporate friendly democrat policies.
In stark contrast to Milwaukee, Minneapolis central business district is now among the 10 most populous in the country and is in top to bottom boom mode.

People are starting to live Downtown too. The North Loop is a very popular living area right now.

Doesn't matter. Trumpy will just blame the Dems, and half of the country will believe him and continue to attack them.

I think it's down to 1/3 right now but I get your point. Unfortunately it's the only play the Democrats have right now. Donna spent all her time on Arizona and Georgia.

2/3 of the country will blame the GOP. 1/3 of the country will do whatever Fox tells them to.
A shutdown would really f-ck me because I had to burn all my PTO this year. But I'd take the hit if it meant further exposing the FFFs to the thinking portion of the electorate.

That's a good article thanks for posting it.

Illinois has 197 Wal-Mart locations, which employ 51,137 people. The state has seven distribution centers. Nearly 4% of all Wal-Mart stores are in Illinois.
http://247wallst.com/retail/2015/04/04/the-10-states-with-the-most-wal-mart-stores/
There ain't a corporate hub in Chicago that rivals Wal-Mart's numbers since Motorola went belly up. AT&T *might* be distant second.
*edit* This list doesn't include individual locations (ie: Wal-Mart) and is more "single site" employers:

I hear ya but it's not like other countries don't have similar issues. Maybe not to the same extent as the US on this exact issue but other problems that aren't exclusive to us such as racism, anti-Muslim rhetoric, anti-immigration, neoliberalism, trade deals that benefit from slave labor etc.
Yeah obviously Walker has done everything he can (so far) to gut UW system and its still a primary employer of the state. That's pretty pathetic to think about and probably one of the biggest reasons besides Walker himself that I decided to no longer live there after college.

A lot of smaller, boutique brands have sprung up in the last 10 years to challenge the Rossi/K2/Volkl/etc hegemony. They tend to cater more to the "free-skiing bro/bum" type that gets avalanche-trained and hikes the backcountry for hidden powder, rather than pay for lift tickets and battle crowds of rich people teetering around on groomers.
Dampening is a huge deal, particularly for ski racers, or people who ski a lot of ice (like Easterners
). It's traditionally accomplished by building a thin layer of metal into each ski, to cut "chatter" and make the edges really bite into the hard snow/ice on a water-injected race course, which makes them more stable at high speed. Conversely, mogul skiers don't want super-stiff skis - they need a soft, flexible ski that will help absorb each bump. And powder skiers want big, wide, light skis that help surf large amounts of fresh snow where heavy racing skis will drag and bury you.
In-between, you have what are called "all-mountain" skis that try to be a blend of all these elements, to varying degrees of success.
If he can use that material to accomplish creating a true "all-mountain" ski that dynamically adapts to style and conditions as the article claims, then that is a big deal.

An endorsement deal with the US Ski Team since the early 2000s got them back on the map. They're now a trendy, expensive brand again.

Other countries have issues, but the ones I’ve lived in and would move to have some key elements- the belief that healthcare is a right and that higher education should be affordable for those who are suited to go. They also do a good job of secular gov, unlike this nation where the gop wants to ram Christianity down everyone’s throats
