But if the House decides the election, it's not by Reps, each state makes a vote. And there are more R states than D states, so it will absolutely go to Trump.

The more jobs that are unfilled (a "tighter" job market) means that employers have to raise wages to attract employees. It's pretty common knowledge in tech that the fastest way to a raise is to switch jobs. More jobs being available is good for workers.

 

Striking machinists at Boeing will vote Wednesday on a new contract proposal that includes a 35% pay hike over four years that could end a costly five-week-old strike, the company and union said Saturday.

This! Manufacturers were trying to lock people into their systems, just by different means. Reverse engineering a piece of low-level software (BIOS) so that you could run high-level software written for that machine architecture on different hardware was the main battle of the day.

Seriously! I was so relieved when I reached the end of the headline

For some reason I read this headline as "NPR chief" and it was legitimately shocking to me that NPR would be run by someone so actively sadistic.

It being the leader of the NRA is much less shocking.

"Free speech" does not mean free from consequences.

I really dislike this phrasing because it does mean freedom from consequences, but only from the government, not private actors like these companies or the general public. The sentiment should really be "free speech does not mean freedom from social backlash" but I know that's not as catchy...

(Also, yes, free speech does have limits (e.g. hate speech, 'fighting words', etc).)
