Rad Power Bikes sends employees notice of ‘potential’ closure as efforts continue to ‘save Rad’
Read the full November 7 WARN letter (PDF).

A November 7 Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ("WARN") filed with the state (PDF) lists both service-level workers at the company's retail and repair shop as well as corporate workers at their Seattle headquarters, including top-level positions like CEO and CFO.

An expression of solidarity and a great way to be seen while cycling! 🏳️🌈🚲⚡
I had to machine some of the hardware; the flute and whistle workshop comes in handy for all kinds of things! Nothing some quick side milling and reaming on the milling machine couldn't fix! ⚙️

Ya know, if it were proven that what happened today truly was planned, it sure seems to me like "risking global economic calamity for the betterment of a few billionaires" certainly meets the high crimes threshold.

“Parking lots don’t employ any people. They simply provide space for cars. We have expensive housing for people and free parking for cars. … We’re killing our own cities. It’s a huge bummer.”

In #rustlang, I sometimes really need a one-or-more representation, but existing crates are missing features. There's still a lot to do, but I'm happy with the shape of my crate: Mitsein. AFAICT, it's the most comprehensive crate that attempts to tackle this problem.
