I’m a long-time local who writes risk assessments and sector reports for Green Econometrics, a Pennsylvania consulting firm. So I wrote one for Southern Oregon to share here. Nothing we don’t all know and most are aware of the individual issues cited…but I thought I’d aggregate the information, organize it, and highlight the potential ramifications. So this is not an attempt to break new ground, it’s just intended to bring issues we’re facing into a single doc to stimulate discussion. Note: my firm integrates Claude 4.7 into our process to support our directed research, to create charts and graphs, and to format output. Content design, development and editorial direction by humans with full audits for accuracy.

Just had Progressive Audio, where I used to take my stereo electronics for repair, tell me they’ve discontinued their repair service and they know of no one in the Valley now providing stereo component service or repair. Any suggestions, or am I gonna have to send my Onkyo tuner/receiver out of the area? Should probably just buy a new one, but I love this older component and would love to be environmentally sensitive by repairing rather than replacing.
