I have no special knowledge about on this field — this seems plausible,
but I can't be sure whether it is true. |

Don't worry about the resources — tourists pay high prices for those. |

New York City is suing Starbucks for firing a union organizer.
New York City is suing Starbucks for firing a union organizer.
Rather than using federal labor law, which generally prohibits this too,
it is using a
New York City law that is stronger. |

Outrage After Ohio Cop Kills Unarmed Black Man Donovan Lewis in Bed
*Columbus [thug] shot Donovan Lewis within a second of opening the door
to his room, and then, while he was dying,
told him to 'stop
resisting.'"*
I have a hunch that thug said "stop resisting" to a man who was not resisting
as a way of pretending that he was resisting — to create a fake excuse
to use later. |

The most important battle of our lifetimes
*There can be no middle ground in the fight between
democracy and
authoritarian fascism.*
Right-wing extremists make threats of domestic terrorism in the hope of
intimidating the defenders of democracy. We must not be intimidated
out of defending it. |

Ovo Energy chief calls for ‘progressive’ scheme for bills similar to tax system
Proposing a progressive price system for electricity and fossil fuels,
as a way of helping the poor without
subsidizing fossil fuel for the rich.
That would be much better than giving rich people the same subsidy as
the poor, but I've already explained that a subsidy for energy is a
terrible mistake. |

The dark money billionaire-funded Tea Party Patriots has an "action guide" for disrupting public health measures
A right-wing manipulation group, the Tea Party Patriots, undertook to
sabotage the US efforts to resist Covid-19.
It may have been
substantially effective.
I do not believe anyone is entitled to the "freedom" to go unmasked
indoors, risking spreading Covid-19, from mere preference.
500 deaths per day adds up to around 180,000 per year. That is around
a 4% increment in the death rate.
The number of people developing long Covid per day is likely to be in
the thousands, and the number of people unable to work is estimated as
on the order of
2.5% of the entire working population. |

Arkansas cops suspended after bystander films savage street beating of shoe less man
*Arkansas [thugs] suspended after bystander films
savage street
beating of shoe less man.*
I would like to suggest suspending them by the neck, but not seriously
— I oppose the death penalty, without exception. What those thugs
deserve is a long prison sentence — longer because they betrayed the
duties of their job as police officers. |

I wonder whether the government knows what documents were in those
