Are they exploited on farms that grow feed for chickens and cattle? Because if so, I could imagine someone making an argument for "lessening" child labor with their economic choices by simply eating the grains directly.

But I do believe GDP includes government spending.

Yeah, but Fain is the first democratically elected UAW leader (prior leadership was chosen by delegations and was fraught with racketeering and embezzlement) and it shows.

Thank you so much for all the information!

Damn. The old leadership -- on top of being subservient -- sounds like a bunch of crooks. I'm happy the UAW has its new process.

Duly noted. I've subscribed to the writing prompts community.

I don't get it.

How is Amazon's fate tied to the fate of office rental spaces, the transportation industry, or commuter stores?

How does the potential death of Taco Bell hurt an online marketplace?

Considering it was "a party-line decision," I think Biden and the Democrats might deserve some credit just for not being Republicans.

In a party-line decision in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC, the Board ruled that when a majority of a company’s employees file union affiliation cards, the employer can either voluntarily recognize their union or, if not, ask the Board to run a union recognition election. If, in the run-up to or during that election, the employer commits an unfair labor practice, such as illegally firing pro-union workers (which has become routine in nearly every such election over the past 40 years, as the penalties have been negligible), the Board will order the employer to recognize the union and enter forthwith into bargaining.

Woah. That's exciting. Union busting can automatically create a union. That's... ironic. And beautiful.

Anyone signing up for the new SAVE income driven repayment plan?

Apparently if you're making anything under $32,800, your payments can still be paused. (The number is higher if you have kids to feed)

Oh! You could call yourselves

  • "the slight right" or
  • "right lite"

I don't know. The name feels weird. I could see calling your community,

  • "moderates"
  • "moderategop"
  • "RINOs" (just like Trump's supporters embraced calling themselves "deplorables", non-Trump conservatives should probably ready themselves for turning enemies' insults into their own battle standards.)
    • plus RINOs also gives a decent logo idea for the community (the rhinoceros)

I also can't help but notice how her personification of businesses (as things that can "really sweat") and empathy for them far exceeds the level at which she humanizes workers.

It's almost like "Mary Elizabeth Elkordy, founder of the remote-based company Elkordy Global Strategies," has a keen sense for which team she belongs to.
