    Mariners Win Big, Garver Shines in Raleigh's Absence

    Mariners secure an impressive 8-3 victory over the Astros, concluding a successful road trip without star catcher Cal Raleigh, sidelined with a right oblique strain. Mitch Garver delivers a standout performance, hitting his first home run of the season, a 369-foot blast, to extend the lead to five in the fourth. Luke Raley contributes with a three-run homer, his tenth of the year, and Brendan Donovan nearly hits for the cycle. Luis Castillo bounces back with a solid outing, going five innings with six strikeouts despite early walks and three runs allowed. Garver, a reliable backup since being personally recruited by Raleigh, earns the pitchers trust and secures a key challenge call. The Mariners improve to 10-1 against Houston in the last eleven games and sit at 22-23 overall, with Garvers performance keeping them rolling as they return home.

    Washington Farms Crushed by Trade Shocks, Labor Squeeze

    Washington States Farm Crisis: A Perfect Storm of Skyrocketing Costs, Trade Shocks, and Labor Struggles In this episode, we delve into the alarming decline of farms and ranches in Washington state, with an average of two lost every day between 2017 and 2022. Most are small family operations, particularly in the east, grappling with escalating expenses and meager profits in a fiercely competitive global market. The episode highlights the impact of trade disruptions, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022, which flooded markets and tanked prices while fertilizer costs surged. Farmers are also grappling with labor costs, which now consume nearly 100% of crop returns, up from 37% a decade ago. The H-2A visa program, a lifeline for many, is outdated and complex, exacerbating labor shortages and straining rural communities. Adding to the pressure, big buyers are consolidating power, reducing farmers earnings, while fuel, transport, and regulations continue to rise due to global turmoil and policies. The episode concludes with a call to action, emphasizing the need to modernize labor systems, bolster infrastructure, secure trade deals, and address these challenges to preserve these farms.

    Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship: What You Need to Know

    A cruise ship from Argentina to the Atlantic has reported a hantavirus outbreak, with three fatalities and at least ten cases linked to the ship. The virus, unlike COVID, spreads rarely between humans through close, prolonged contact. Passengers were evacuated and quarantined, with no wider spread expected. Hantavirus primarily jumps from rodents to humans, with symptoms starting flu-like and progressing to breathing issues. Early hospital care improves survival odds, but no vaccine or specific treatment exists. As spring approaches, be cautious when cleaning sheds or barns with mouse signs, following safety guidelines to minimize risk. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
