the answer to so many questions is Unionize Your Workplace
Some rare good news: Journalists at the PEN Guild won their arbitration case against Politico, which deployed two separate faulty AI products (a "report builder" and a headline and summary generator on the homepage) without their knowledge or input.

Yes, Trump is vain, greedy, poorly educated, not a deep thinker, driven by hatred, lacking in empathy. He also seems to be increasingly tired and forgetful. But even without these faults he would be dangerous, perhaps more dangerous. And he sits on top of a mountain of dangerous people.

Recently at a Q&A, the chair asked me an excellent question: Why do you push so hard against the idea of a ‘nature cure’ when moments in your book Drystone - A Life Rebuilt might look like exactly that?
The answer is simple.
