Cool! I grew up in Grand Rapids, MI - lake effect snow from Lake Michigan usually ran out of gas by the time it got to us, but sometimes we'd get slammed with it. Not like the UP, though. Up on the Keweenaw Peninsula they have snow sticks as tall as telephone poles.

The reason I asked is because weather patterns usually go from southwest to northeast in the US. But I guess Lake Erie does sit at an angle, so it makes sense that Cleveland would get it.

Depends on what you mean by “Marxist.” Like Freud’s work, Marx and Engel’s work is mostly useful today for cultural studies analysis, rather than psychology or economics, respectively. In that sense, yes I’m a Marxist but not a pure Marxist. I don’t adhere to the materialism/idealism binary. I have graduate training in cultural studies - ABD because I became a union organizer instead of an academic. That’s how I know that organizing can win meaningful material change for real people. It has been kinda fun sparring with you but it’s Monday now, and I have work to do. Ciao.
