no big deal, just a study about the impact of enslaved labour on conditions for free workers
A new study from Colombia's Labor Lab finds that the use of prisoner labor along Hyundai's supply chain in Alabama lowered non-incarcerated worker wages.
"We find that a 10% increase in the share of incarcerated workers in a plant is associated with a 10-14% drop in wages for free workers."

definitionally, the sensibles are flocking creatures and it should be expected that they all choose the same new direction at the same time
they need:
1: a trigger to give themselves permission to change their view
2: a signal from high-status individuals that it's time to change

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

I would honestly love to see Britain trying to ban VPNs
The UK govt: "Hmm, we might have to ban VPNs & a whole range of otehr basic privacy safeguards, to Protect The Children, y'know."
Also the UK govt: "It's perfectly fine to let Nazi billionaire & friend of Epstein Peter Thiel trawl through the entire corpus of NHS personal data on your children."

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.
