Want to be a misogynist? Go to Hexbear! Just make sure you’re talking to a pup-girl first so you have plausible deniability and can complain that you aren’t being interpreted charitably enough for your blatant misogyny.

  • Wildfires are good for the economy, actually nerd

    Damage to property and local infrastructure may lead to temporary business disruptions due to power outages, road closures, and direct damages to buildings and other business infrastructure, which can affect business sales, employment, and wages. But construction for rebuilding generally provides a local economic boost. Effects on household income are ambiguous, too: insurance payouts, disaster aid, and other government assistance often offset negative shocks. Over the long run, many outcomes are possible, including “creative destruction” or “build back better” scenarios in which economic growth is higher than it would have been.

    At the county level, wildfires cause a small but statistically significant 0.4 percent boost in the average employment growth rate.

    Capitalism wants us to start more wildfires.
