When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

'No driver, no hands, no clue': San Bruno police officers were met with a first after pulling over a Waymo Instead of an impaired driver, policer officers in San Bruno found an empty vehicle after pulling over a Waymo for making an illegal U-turn.

Police in California pulled over a Waymo robot car for making an illegal U-turn.

But they didn't issue a ticket because they say there's no existing mechanism for issuing traffic violation tickets to robots.

BREAKING Kneecap Not Banned from Canada. Sources Inside Prime Minister Carney's Office Confirm MP Vince Gasparro Went Rogue; Liberals Trying to Hush Story

OTTAWA, ON - In a dramatic turn of events on a day already marked by major announcements - Canada's recognition of Palestinian statehood and the tabling of a new federal hate crimes bill
- sources inside the Prime Minister's Office have confirmed that Irish rap group Kneecap was never officially banned from Canada, despite Liberal MP Vince Gasparro's public statements.
According to a senior PMO insider, Gasparro went rogue in making the announcement, lied about receiving authorization from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and may have committed a serious breach of the federal Privacy Act, an unprecedented scandal in Canadian history.
"The PMO explicitly asked MP Gasparro whether he had IRCC's authorization to make his announcement - he said yes.
That was false," the source confirmed. "No decision had been made by IRCC or the
PMO. His statement was completely unauthorized."

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
