I've been saying lately that it's not just a win if you can get good things to happen, it's also a win if the worst that might happen gets derailed or delayed. So, whatever happens going forward, I'll take this moment as a win. No batshit declaration of war tonight is one more day without it.

We're back! Baristas on ULP strike have once again brought the picket line to Starbucks's biggest regional distribution center in York, PA.
We're making sure that Starbucks hears us: we need finalized contracts, an end to union-busting, and resolution to all outstanding unfair labor practices.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Unclear if this is legal. Civil Code 1950 prohibits separate leasing of beds within a room; when it occurs, all tenants of the building are relieved of rent obligation.
“One who hires part of a room for a dwelling is entitled to the whole of the room, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary.”
