Readers, we are now in the midst of Water Cooler’s annual fundraiser. Our goal is 325 donors, and right now 90 of you have contributed. Thank you! Remember, this is not like the NC fundraiser, which funds a year in advance. You are donating for work I have already done
, which I hope you found informative and fun and useful, and which I hope to be able to continue to do. One donor commented:
You have done well during still another year of baroque confusion, obfuscation, and panic.
If you agree, dig deep! And now to the bird songs–

Inadequate safety standards at Marathon Petroleum’s St. Paul Park refinery in Minnesota have caused avoidable hydrocarbon and chemical releases that pose a threat to the community, a local worker advocacy group said in a report on Sunday, as a lockout of unionized plant workers extends into its third month.
The report by Local Jobs North, a union-backed organization, said that lax safety standards at the plant led to mistakes that could have ignited volatile hydrocarbons. It also cited inadequate installation of safety controls for pipe repair operations and use of poorly constructed scaffolding.
