Some employers monitor workers minute by minute. Some won't pay for work that wasn't recorded by the monitoring software.

To prevent competitive advantage (or the belief that there is competitive advantage) from stampeding all businesses into intrusive monitoring of workers as if they were machines, we should legislate rules that limit monitoring. When a business argues that "We will be at a disadvantage if we don't do this to our workers, we will have two responses: (1) your competitors can't do this either, and (2) respect for human beings is more important than how much profit you make".

Debunking Manchin's bogus reasons to build the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

Greenpeace dropped boulders into a "protected" area of the sea to physically protect it from bottom trawling. The UK government responded with unusual vigor to block plans to drop additional boulders.

Most "protected" maritime areas in UK waters are not protected from much. But at least they are now protected from slowly falling boulders.

Shelling at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has destroyed part of the fossil-fuel power plant which provided power to keep the nuclear plant cool if it were to shut down. This is a step closer to a nuclear disaster that would affect the whole region.

I have seen no conclusive evidence that proves which side is doing the shelling, but Ukraine has nothing to gain from it, whereas Putin has made a strategy of outrageous threats. It is plausible that he would say, "I'll poison this land if I can't have it. And some of my own land at the same time."

Bluffing is also part of his strategy. That he would say that does not imply he would actually do it.
