wage theft vs other forms of theft in US
talmon joseph smith@talmonsmith13 Oct 2022
News: after months of calls & crawls through US bars & restaurants, my report for The Times finds, even now, in a historic robust labor market, wage theft, exploitation & lagging real wages related to the subminimum system for tipped workers is rampant..1/ nytimes.com/2022/10/13/busin…

Battle Over Wage Rules for Tipped Workers Is Heating Up (Published 2022)

A system counting tips toward the minimum wage is being fought in many places. Critics say it’s often abused. Defenders say workers benefit overall.

With Senate roll calls finished until November, worth noting that @POTUS has won confirmation of a HISTORIC total of 84 judicial nominations already... ... including more black women on the Court of Appeals than all 45 prior Presidents COMBINED

Wow, check out the timing of the text that California sent out to the public, and then the moment that electricity consumption in the state started to roll over. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Housing permits issued per capita among the 10 largest states. We haven't fully wrapped our heads around the political/cultural/economic implications of the fact that basically only red states have been building housing at scale for the past 40 years. housingdata.app/

Fascinating stat I heard on @DKThomp’s Plain English. In communities surrounding areas where EZ Pass was introduced (rather than stopping and tossing coins at tolls), rates of pre-mature birth went down 10-15%. Less cars idling producing less exhaust in the area #wow #climate

Dang. In Paris, they tore down a police station and built this. Yep, social housing: 8 low-income units on a tiny piece of land. 6th arrondissement, blocks from Jardin du Luxembourg. Stone facade (quarried locally to boot), green roof, energy efficient

If 17 people were shot outside a major sporting event in ANY OTHER COUNTRY, it would be constant headlines. I scanned the major news websites. Barely a mention of this. WTF is going on in our country that we've allowed this to be normal.

Yet another grim example of how our broken food system is failing animals, workers, and consumers We must transition to a more humane and just system, and away from the abusive practices of factory farms. theguardian.com/science/2022…

US egg factory roasts alive 5.3m chickens in avian flu cull – then fires almost every worker

Laborers worked for a month disposing of birds killed in a gruesomely inhumane manner. Then they found they too were disposable

The UK just enacted the Sentience Bill into law! For the first time, crabs, octopus, and lobsters will be recognized as sentient beings in government policy. Hopefully the first step toward meaningful legal protections for these most neglected of animals.
