Bigger businesses had closed and I wanted to keep buying their stuff to support them. A few weeks ago, I didn't park in the normal area I park at the shopping center and as I was walking to the store I wanted to get to, I saw that they had just moved to a smaller shop on a less frequented part of the small mall as opposed to being inside as they used to. I've been going there twice a week now to buy more cup cakes and cake slices than I need (and gifting the surplus) just to support them.

      I know Lopez Island well; I've a friend who lives there and have been there many times myself. It's isolated, and the Washington State Ferry Service has been *severely* curtailed during the pandemic. With the amount of new workers she's going to need in order to keep up with this increased demand, she'll be able to provide jobs to a measurable percentage of the entire island's population. This could end up saving not just a single business but an entire island.
      And now I'm crying.

      @@ichijofestival2576 I just did a bit of reading-
      From TV Tropes entry: 'The Trope Namer is Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report. Whenever politicians, especially ones running for an office, experienced a bump in poll numbers after being on his show, Colbert would take credit for it by saying that they received the Colbert Bump. While this claim began as part of Colbert's larger-than-life political pundit persona (he would also claim responsibility whenever authors' books did well or musicians' songs do well), the phrase would be adopted in media, and be subsequently carried over to Colbert's later show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
      There are also a few wiki entries on it from the fandom wiki to the general one. James H. Fowler apparently conducted a study on it as well. He found a correlation between politicians appearing on the show and a temporary boost in their campaign contributions. I can't access the full publication without a subscription though.
