Mind sharing the name? I'm out there in a few weeks.
Vegan Mac Cheese sauce is perhaps the simplistic thing to make - soak cashews overnight in fridge, drain water, add fresh water, blends, add nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, garlic, and a lemon. Heat and serve.

There are a handful of local milk producers and distributors in multiple states that by most appearances are doing well, for example:
AZ: https://www.danzeisendairy.com/ WA: https://www.twinbrookcreamery.com/
To me, this (the unwinding of the large consolidated food companies) is largely a good thing.
Yep - Walmart the largest buyer of milk now owns their own farms and uses milk as a loss leader. Dean Foods former CEO was an alleged crook. Their packaging and advertising looks like it came out of the 1970s. Here we are in the Keto / Intermittent fasting era - and they failed to provide a cream. These folks gave up long ago. Expect a nice bounce back.

Took a quick read. It’s not clear how the time series model (e.g., ARIMA) is selected.

The oldest millennial is now 38. This group - now the largest as a percentage - will see wage growth year over year for the next 15 years for three reasons 1) their skills improve year after year 2) employers will have a harder time replacing them - and will pay them not to leave 3) productivity is about to accelerate after a decade of flat productivity.

From a transportation standpoint, this is far more nefarious than people recognize at first glance. Cars and transit are economic substitutes: if you make one cheaper, you take users from the other. That much is a given, but people underestimate the impact this has on transit finances.
Transit is mostly a fixed cost business (step-fixed cost technically). That means that the marginal rider brings marginal revenue, but no additional costs. Transit operations have a break-even point: when you have X riders, you break even. Anything more is pure profit, and anything less is a negative cash flow.
When you rob transit of customers by subsidizing cars, you make transit less sustainable. Subsidizing cars literally means you'll end up subsidizing transit too. The opposite is true, and it's provable: Transit is dramatically more profitable in countries where driving is less subsidized. It was wildly profitable in the US too, before we started subsidizing cars.
The answer to getting more transit funding isn't to pay more in general fund taxes or fares, it is actually to tax road users. Tax road users appropriately, and transit will have more more users, more revenues, and little to no increase in costs. A 5% reduction in car use could double transit ridership nationwide. Oh, and our roads will have more maintenance funding, less congestion, and less wear and tear. A win-win if there ever was one.
Yep. With California’s for all its environmentally table pounding, I still can’t get from LA to Palm Springs by train.

At least some of that was, in fact, hard cash subsidies.
The US spends around $35 billion/year in actual subsidies on fossil fuels.[1] (About $20 billion to producers, and about $15 billion to consumers.
Further more, the cost of not charging the fossil fuel industry for carbon emissions should absolutely be counted as a real subsidy, although its value is harder to calculate. But we force industries to clean up other pollutants, or we otherwise regulate their environmental impact, which costs them. If we gave one industry a pass on those regulations, that would be uncontroversially a subsidy.

That like saying that the porn industry is being subsidized for the costs of divorce
Elevating the device to to the level of your heart seems like standard practice. Every home blood pressure monitor I've ever used requires this. And it's also the way my doctor does it in his office with both electronic and the squeezie bulb blood pressure thing.
