https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/14/business/patagonia-ownership/index.html Story about Patagonia founder transferring ownership into entities that will invest 100% of profits into fighting climate crisis. I don’t know poo poo about business or whether this is as noble a thing as what the article is painting it as. I will leave that analysis to smarter folks than me.

Fuckin' wild story there quote:Villanueva has already seen a sheriff taken down over protecting problematic deputies. In 2014, Lee Baca resigned, after sixteen years in office, and was subsequently charged in a federal obstruction case. He and his under-sheriff, Paul Tanaka, had conspired to block the F.B.I. from investigating deputy abuses and gang behavior in the county jails. In the process, they had confronted the lead agent at her home and threatened her with arrest. Baca was given a sentence of three years, Tanaka five. During Tanaka’s trial, he revealed that he had a tattoo associated with the Vikings, a deputy clique once described by a federal judge as a “neo-Nazi, white supremacist gang.” Pretty loving ballsy, and stupid, to threaten an FBI agent at her home.

What are the odds that we get a president who loves trains and claims to be pro union when rail workers are going to strike and it works in favor of the worker? Between this and his major scaling back of drone strikes I’d say Biden is only bad and not the worst. Weird.

It’s a two-party negotiation with a deal that union members are free to refuse. I’m not entirely sure why people elsewhere are freaking out about the current offer on the table as if it’s some unilateral decree.

Details are still light, but it looks like the union is getting what they asked for (which really wasn't much): https://twitter.com/JFMoranCo/status/1570396114687512578?t=Y8D4U8a7Ww6fYG45Rg0CrQ&s=19 The big thing was the utterly loving absurd sick leave policies of the railways - two week on-call 24/7, no absences, dinged if you ever had to call out sick, and so on. The three weeks of leave they got a year had to be pre-scheduled and if you got sick, gently caress you. That appears to be changing, but you're right, unions could vote it down. But even in that case, there won't be any strike for a few weeks as striking is prevented for a few weeks post-interim agreement.

The rail companies have bonus fuckery too - a vote from Congress and the President could outright kill the strike due to some emergency infrastructure law or some poo poo. So the rail companies went into the pre-strike phase figuring they had an upper hand to keep that bullshit, but President I LIKE TRAINS knows what brought him to the dance: https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1570382957109563392?t=1_4ubMD7RSRlp-D5OvKtXQ&s=19 $2B a day in economic losses probably isn't going to make President Trains gently caress up his entire image.

ACAB and all that, but if there's one thing the FBI loves to do and is quite good at, it's dropping charges on state and local cops who gently caress around with them. Like, if they get called in for a civil rights or public corruption investigation, they'll do their thing and unless stuff is glaringly obvious, they'll issue a report and call it a day. But if they find out you're lying to them, or better yet, you try threatening them, lol at you. Look no further than Tanaka getting slapped with charges to see this in effect.

Yeah when it comes to Gang Turf Wars, the FBI's turf is not to be trifled with. When the KKK killed a couple Federal officers during the Civil Rights movement, they quickly learned that was the easiest way to get hosed up.

And externalising (aka off shoring) a production-necessary item and/or service to burden somebody else so the cost for that item can be purposefully cratered for your benefit, is called commoditization. Business schools and its products are the focus groups of satan.
