the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

I think at some point... let's say the first big dot com boom... Super Bowl ads went from big brands reminding you they exist with a clever twist to fledgling brands desperately trying to stunt their way into your hearts. And that desperation always shows through. Every ad break is a flop sweat.

In a private meeting of GOP legislators and anti-abortion activists, Republicans promised to repeal the FACE Act—the federal law prohibiting violence against clinics.

Rep. Andy Biggs made their intent chillingly clear: “God demands justice."

Working from home just two days a week saves workers anywhere from $305 to $2,357 per year on travel, parking, food and work clothes.

Trump and the CEOs who want workers back in the office full time are handing workers a pay cut, says MarketWatch.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.

This is not a hot take.
