The Catch-all: ICYMI December 7-13
The news I've been consuming this week
Hello all. This round-up is a day late, and you may have noticed that there wasn't a weekly analysis article. Unfortunately, I've pretty consistently been working 12-hour days at my job during the week, which has left me little time to do much else. There is a new episode of The North State in production, but analysis articles may have to wait until this mess is over. My apologies. On with the news!
