I like the idea of Secret Service enrichment activities being exactly like dog enrichment. They just release a bunch of Government mooks into a room with some of those doggie treats puzzles, but I stead of beggin strips, it's full of domestic terrorists addresses.

I don't think it's as likely that the Feds break this strike like they did with the railroads. Their argument against the rails was that almost every other industry relies on them to move product, while having fewer new cars will only effect the new and used car markets. With however hundreds of millions of usable vehicles that are already out there, this strike doesn't really have the same opportunity to spill over to the larger economy.

Id be very interested to see what demands they got and what had to be negotiated. Had that been released yet?

If the broncos continue their current trend, they'll give up about 140 points next week.

It was right in the first paragraph of the article.

"...deploying corps members to work in wind and solar production as well as environmental conservation projects."

So yes, it (should be) more than just trail work.

This is incredible news! While 20,000 is fewer jobs than I would have liked, it's still 20,000 more people that are fighting to save our planet than we had before. Plus all those jobs will provide income to all those people and families, and they'll be able to recirculate those funds to their local economies. I bet this program will generate more income than it's cost over the long run, and that's not even counting all the monetary savings that a more stable (or at least slower changing) climate will bring.

If the UAW can get a 32-hour week, that would be a MASSIVE step in getting it done for the rest of the work force. It would be a perfect example of how unions benefit all workers, not just the ones actually in the union.

He also co-hosts a podcast called "The Climate Deniers Playbook" that you might might like as well. There are only a few episodes out, but they're all great.

I thought the UAW wasn't threatening to strike until the end of the week?

Then why say anything?

 

This is largely to bring attention to the Tasting History YT channel since I think you fine folks would like it. I am not associated with the channel in any way.

Max will usually intro with a little base info, followed by the recepie, then it's "Time for History" related to the dish in the video. He finishes each video with a tasting and review of the dish. If you're just interested in the food, you can probably skip the middle 40-50% of the video.

What a busted pick Lance turned out to be. I hope he can find a second life on another team, but I also don't find it very likely...

So it sounds like your dad is right?

 

The ingredients weren't anything special, but a little effort in presentation goes a long way.
