younger generations have always dreamed to be in debt until the day they die
One CEO called the idea a “disgusting insult” and “economic genocide against the Gen Z generation.” 👀

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

This was not a surprise to anyone who followed me and other actual reporters who know Supreme Court procedure.

The only places it succeeded were to generate donations for Liberty Counsel and to prompt clicks through ragebait headlines from your favorite resistance grifters.

Sorry, it's true.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

For those who do not do PHP software development: the arrow points to an annotation which ChatGPT said according to prompt is not to be used. It also points to a code segment which is pure nonsense. It's not merely not doing what it should, it's pure nonsense, PHP will abort with a syntax error.

This is such f'ing good news

Also, don't miss out on the part of the opinion explaining how the Post-Gazette's expensive lawyers (Littler Mendelson) screwed up and waived its challenge to the remedy by failing to propely raise the issue at the Board level.
BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Dick Durbin suffers from a terminal case of Senate Brain, in which the big prize is a handshake deal with your distinguished colleagues where they'll allow you to hold a meaningless vote that you can then point to with pride to your constituents as they go broke from crushing medical bills.
Durbin said critics of his vote “need to understand how the Senate works”

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.

Why? It was hurting their profits.

They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.

Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.

Profit over people.

The fact him or one of his staffers would post this on *this* platform is yet another sign of how unfit this man is to do anything other than retire.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Voting to fund the government means you voted to fund everything the government is doing. That's the whole point. It's not about some narrow this or that on the margins. You own the whole enchilada, you're saying "yes, this overall package for everything the government's doing is acceptable to me."
