"China-people" doesn't count, I guess.

Hispanic is a race!

The census has it as an ethnicity, not a race. I don't think Blankenship makes that kind of distinctions

How is what Bruenig suggest different from unions plus collective bargaining?

It's kind of the same. The methodology is different though. In the US, unions are treated like something some groups vote on to become. So unions have to do it company by company, subgroup by subgroup etc. It makes it very hard to achieve any kind of scale. Plus each company has an incentive to resist as to not lose any perceived advantage over non union companies. That's part of the reason why anti union campaigns are pretty brutal in the US. Sectoral bargaining skips that so companies won't have as much incentive to resist since they're all put under the same agreement.

Also sectoral bargaining doesn't have imply unionization though, in theory it could simply be some department of the government while unions imply some distinct organization, but in practice the government usually forms agreements with a sectoral union. In France they have something similar to sectoral bargaining in that the government has agreements with unions but since the union doesn't do anything else so very few French actually belong to a union. The Nordics tie unemployment insurance to union membership so they have high union membership along with sectoral bargaining.

Oklahoma just sent a bill that's basically Indiana's "religious freedom" law for adoption agencies to their governor

Denying orphaned children homes to trigger the libs

Republicans are so much better at blatantly showing their constituent what they get. A Democrat would have been cowed into not doing this at all, means testing it, or trying to make sure it was hidden from the recipients.

My first cousin lives about 3 miles from where the first lava broke through on the big island. Looks like he and his family are safe but they are evacuating obv. Said they felt hundreds of small earthquakes the past few days.

The fact that "volcano" and "residential area" can appear in the same sentence is just baffling to me.

ppl in 10000 years are presumably gonna be nonplussed as to why we hoomons decided to build our biggest tech facilities and some of our largest conurbations on top of known active fault lines

The thing that's erupting is allegedly called Puʻu ʻŌʻō. Sometimes I think the islanders just make up the most ridiculous things they can think of to **** with us mainlanders.

The girl on the right at the end is definitely going to end up as a stripper.

His kids look like something out of a horror film.

But 3/4 of those boxes describe conservatives?

This is great, from a CNN story about how people feel about their tax cuts:

I'm not sure if that was intentional, but if so, well done Mr. Stanley.

I'm flying to Kona in a week, fun timing

In 10,000 years people still won't know what the hell "conurbation" means.

But what if the law creates a more favorable environment for would-be christian adoption agencies and as such MORE kids end up being adopted once the new law passes, ever think of that one librul?!

If I lived by an active volcano, have small children and suddenly felt a bunch of small earthquakes I'd be f'n GONE before the 8th one, nevermind waiting through hundreds until lava is visible.
