*14-hour days and no bathroom breaks: Amazon's overworked delivery drivers.*

An overworked driver is dangerous.

There should be a special law specifying the maximum time a paid driver can be paid to drive in one day, for the purpose of road safety, and a special minimum wage for any paid driver, to make sure paid drivers don't need to take more than one job.

If a paid driver has a collision and has been working more than the maximum hours, whoever hired per to work longer should be legally responsible for the collision. That would make Amazon quit overworking drivers.

Global heating is eliminating forest in many parts of the world. Shrubs grow instead.

This is a positive feedback for global heating, since the dead trees' carbon will get converted to CO2 (unless it becomes structures or furniture) and the replacement vegetation won't use as much carbon as the trees.

It also casts doubt on whether planting lots of trees will do any good to overcome global heating. It may be too late now for that.

An Illinois law requiring companies to give notice of any biometric surveillance is starting to get in the way of some businesses, so they are pushing to repeal it.

That's what plutocracy looks like.

If you live in Illinois, I suggest you tell your state legislators you want more restrictions on surveillance, not less.
