AI hiring tools can reject qualified people "for reasons no one—including the employer—can adequately explain," warns NYU School of Law senior affiliated research scholar and former EEOC chair Charlotte A. Burrows. She says gutting disparate impact law makes it worse.
>>When the last U.S. and allied soldiers left after a brutal two-decade war, the Taliban's fighters seized billions of dollars worth of American-purchased military hardware. <<
GG, America. We spent twenty years, billions of dollars, and thousands of American lives to replace the Taliban with the Taliban + U.S. military gear. That shit will all break down eventually, but I have little doubt that the Fatberg administration will sell them replacement parts and know-how.
Romans had a grain dole, essentially a universal basic income. Free school lunch even for people not in school.
I agree that America has a sales pitch going, at all times.
There is an early 2000s update of Working called Gig, which is also a great read and a little more relatable since the jobs are more current (clerks at Autozone etc)
An Italian won the Italian GP. (So? ) Well said. Kimi Antonelli. Started 19th, put on a show for the Monza faithful. Still leads in points. ( Again so?) An Italian hasn't won it since I was a freshman in college. (So Pleistocene ?) Pretty much. And he did it in a German car.
"Happy Labor Day to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, and Dumocrats who will do anything possible to destroy our Country," Trump wrote. "These Deranged People, after fighting for 10 years, should finally acknowledge that your Favorite President (ME!), knows how to WIN,"
Much sane, very unity. No mention of us workers that pay for his malfeasance.
The man is a psychiatrically compromised cad who MUST be removed from office with all due haste. Until then the security and associated future of the nation is fucked.
What a loser Trump I was, hope Trump II also ends with a whimper. All he did was get personally reimbursed for his coup and stay out of prison. We got several trillion in debt, flaming diarrheas, biblical plagues, fatwas on our heads, climate collapse…
Sadly, it'll end with us having to use the jaws of life to remove him from that bunker he's building for himself, and probably more violence. He didn't leave peacefully last time, and he's worse now.
We did "Working" in the spring of 1985 at a small liberal arts college the student body of which was not drawn from the working classes by and large. It was a smash both with the actors and the audiences.
A man gave me $5 for loading $35 of groceries into his car the other day. I split it four ways with my three other coworkers just because it was such a small order and all of us routinely haul bigger and heavier orders every day. It was just a recognition on my part that all of us work hard (it was also one of the days it was 95 outside).
Great piece on a guy we shouldn't forget. Also suggest Studs' Great War which won a Pulitzer+The Great Divide where our narrator interviews Reagan-era greedhead stockbrokers, klansmen+religious cranks suggesting something worse than addled Ronnie was looming down the road (addled Donnie).
Ronnie Raygun let all the crazy "christians" into the government and politics. Newt "The Newt" solidified that with an assist from the Limpdicks and Faux News of that era.
In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York's unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.
None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.
We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.
Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.
Your regular reminder that Labor Day commemorates the Haymarket Massacre, and is thus celebrated everywhere else in the world on the 1st of May. But America, the country that birthed it, moved the holiday to the first Monday in September to prevent anybody from remembering the true reason for the holiday. Now it's just a vague, empty statement about "workers" and a day off in the fall.
Speaking of labor! I had put the shift I had today out on an exchange we have available to us, and someone picked it up! Yesterday! So, I'm free, free from crowds, rude customers and dragging 400 lb racks around! I'm actually going to have breakfast!
I love this Labor Day, because Trump is apparently pissed we are all sitting around on our lazy asses collecting government checks like a common Dead Mitch.
Fuck him, he's golfing, posting INSANE shit, and treating the secret service to hot dogs, that apparently, they bill back to the SS, which is of course, US.

Boob, why don't you buck like thunder, and dump the bosses off your back?

Another Ronnie Raygun signature achievement. And how about that Glass-Steagall Act repeal?

That "Biden handed out money so no one wants to work" myth persists to this day.
Forgetting of course, that trmp sent checks out, of course, he signed them to make it seem like it was his money.

It’s not a holiday unless Republicans are being weird about hotdogs.

Ugh, that sign. Fuck off. I guarantee it was fat trump assholes who hate Mexicans who were complaining about slow service. Go to a fucking Denny's.
