A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

The corps like Publix that get mad about CIW & fair farm wages, it's not bc proper farm wages will put them out of business. It's because they get upset when ANY workers get collective bargaining wins. It's just generic anti-labor politics- not an existential threat to their business.

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Catastrophic that after many months of funding and arming a genocide, the USA is now directly bombing Iran. All because 45 tore up the JCPOA agreement out of spite and hubris. The obstacle to peace in the Levant is the _actually_ nuclear-armed and genocidal Israeli state and its partner the USA.

“Vibe prioritization”: when you have to do something because a VP thinks it’s a good idea rather than being stack ranked based on business value

From a CD point of view, you can think of an AI agent as an ephemeral junior developer. So all the stuff you needed before like a CD pipeline, good test coverage, small changes etc, you still need now, but even more so because per this IBM slide from 1979, a computer can never be held accountable.

California’s Prop 12, which prohibits the sale of eggs or meat from animals kept in extreme confinement, was just upheld in the Supreme Court. One objection of pork producers was that if this stands, states can make similar regulations on goods sold, like paying workers minimum wage. Let’s goooooo!

The attorney for the pork producers argued that if California’s law were upheld, it would open the door for other states to seek changes that would affect the national economy. For example, they said Oregon could require that products sold there from other states must be made by workers who were paid the state’s higher minimum wage, while Texas might require products sold there be made by only lawful U.S. residents.
