If you still needed a reason not to set foot in America during the current administration let this be it.
In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members

I work closely with this age group, including teaching related subjects. When I mention trade unions they are confused... they are not on their radar, but more fundamentally the ideas that underpin them do not resonate.
Less than 4% of young workers now belong to a union.
Unions have been in decline in the UK for 50 years. A new law could begin to reverse that trend

This is completely unworkable without a massive investment in childcare / wrap around care provision. Many parents already struggle with childcare outside of core hours and holidays, which even if it is available is often absurdly expensive. How would this work for working parents?

This is interesting. This is also why I still listen to music on CDs, and treasure my DVD collection. Yes, that probably makes me a dinosaur, but I still have the things if they disappear of any particular platform.
The exodus reflects a general concern that major tech companies are too cosy with the Trump administration.
