Walmart is dumping the cost of new uniforms on its workers by calling the uniforms a "dress code".

The thug who accosted Danielle Watts had no legal basis to do so, and he handcuffed for calmly exercising the legal rights everyone is supposed to have in the US.

Three cheers for Danielle Watts!

Extending unemployment benefits has no effect on when or whether people get back to work. But it sure helps them avoid living in the street unless/until they get work again.

What does help get people work is government spending directed in ways that create a lot of jobs — not spending on banks or weapons. For instance, unemployment benefits feed money into the economy, and the recipients are sure to spend it right away on job-creating activities.

Almost 40% of potentially employed people in the US are not working, because there aren't jobs for them. Most of them are in some degree of hardship. Automation is likely to make this a lot worse.

The solution is a basic income for everyone.

Coping with the effects of global heating is leaving some poor countries short of funds for health care and education.

The folly of repeated "lockdown" drills in US schools.
