The Big Three had a critical labor shortage long before the UAW went on strike.
The Big Three’s Labor Shortages
The only way the UAW’s strategy of rejecting voluntary overtime can work is if Ford, GM, and Stellantis lack enough workers to make cars.

ditch all bills up to the $10, and multiply the face value of all coins by 10 imo. and then replace Jackson with Harriet Tubman
It’s 2023. We have the technology. Can we PLEASE get Alexander Hamilton in right profile on the $10 like every other note? It’s honestly psychotic to have him facing the opposite way

Four-day work week should be a human right.
A bill to create a 4-day work week is about to be introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature.
Companies with more than 500 workers would have to shorten their week to 32 hours, without reducing pay.
Recent polling shows that 81% of workers nationwide want a four-day week.

It’s incredible how much time the fossil fuel industry has been able to buy themselves with misinfo &lining politicians’ pockets to prevent any significant climate action that might hurt their bottom line. I guess when you’re an industry that makes trillions, nothing is impossible. 70yrs &counting!
70 years ago, in 1953, the US Atomic Energy Commission published Energy in the Future where they speculated that increasing temperatures, retreating glaciers, and rising sea levels were due to CO₂ emissions from land use change and fossil fuel burning.

Many urbanist advocates will recognize this as the dream North American high speed rail map. Yet what I see is a chance to unite Canada and the US in ways we've never before seen, unleashing unprecedented economic activity and tourism: a continental lazy river network.
