Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Let's not forget parking — almost all of Portland's new neighborhood infill relies on the city's elimination of minimum parking requirements. A whopping 74% of recent middle housing projects include 0 parking spots.

Trump aims to reindustrialise America and rebalance the trading relationship.
But this plan faces key constraints and may well flounder. (Random) tariffs wont reindustrialise America with a tight labour market and migration curbs - especially as he rolls back industrial policy too.

Manufacturing employs more people (30M v 13), and plays a far greater role in the EU economy than in the United States (16.4% GDP vs 11).
And there are three reasons why maintaining Europe’s manufacturing edge is critical not just for its growth, but also for its security.

The stagnant EU economy has fueled calls for Europe to prioritize high-tech sectors over its industrial base.
But this is a false dichotomy.
Europeans should not fetisishe US big tech too much: it's profit rich but employment poor.

International Women’s Day is a time to honor the women who helped shape a better future for all, like my mom, who taught second grade until she was 70. Her commitment to building a better world is an example for all of us to follow.

When big companies or institutions change contractors, workers can suddenly lose their jobs. But Evanston now is the first municipality in Illinois to give them some protections.
Workers at big employers like Northwestern get protections from Evanston City Council
A new law, the first of its kind in Illinois, means dining hall workers and housekeepers can keep their jobs if the university changes contractors. The university is worried about the costs.
