We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

I can't believe I didn't fully contemplate this before, but it's amazing/insane that that the whole obscure & largely unhelpful concept of antitrust standing was solidified greatly in an antitrust case with a labor union plaintiff - something the Court seemed unable to metabolize, as a basic matter.

Something I wonder about sometimes is why some unions (e.g., construction/building unions) don't incorporate their own "local" "firms". Slightly challenging legally but not impossible (see eg Maine Lobstering union)

Anecdotally from RICO settlement talks, treble damages make it much harder for parties to reach an agreement, and I’m sure it’s encouraged companies to challenge many more cases than they otherwise would (probably leading to more judicially-made law)

Current* conditions near Sister Bay, WI:
I think treble damages in antitrust have subtly contributed to the narrowing of scope for enforcement, and have ended up leaving exposure in the wrong places. It's also inconsistent with a more expansive view of competition law that's about shaping economic activity more than punishing bad actors

Totally agree. Part of the answer to why this happens is that non-profit housing developers, who tend to play a big role in housing coalitions, are themselves often anti-labor.

My opinion is that you need a relatively big tent for progressive housing politics but that tent needs to include labor. I get why many of the building trades are kind of on the edge of the coalition (tho not true of the fantastic painters!)--but only in the same sense that big developers also are!

It’s crazy to have SIX dedicated security lines at LaGuardia airport just for Clear & give them priority at the THREE general boarding lanes. This is a tax-payer funded airport that seems to be trying to force people to give their biometric info over to a private company or get squeezed & squeezed.
