the prestigious law firm @Cravath is celebrating 200 years of ushering in the gilded age, fighting the new deal, warming the planet, and merging mega-corps into leviathans. they’re so proud that they’ve catalogued their greatest hits! 200.cravath.com here are our faves:
enjoy your poison water suckers
seems like a cool guy
hot
they are so proud of these terrible mergers and acquisitions
impossible to parody
what you have to understand here is that the brits hated cravath’s work so much that they literally changed their takeover laws in response to the cadbury deal

THREAD: here are important reasons to support the #UberLyftStrike today. uber and lyft profit depends on perpetually sinking driver wages until either the arrival of driverless cars or the erosion/continued lack of public transportation. that’s not a winning scenario for us.
what do dropping rates per mile mean for drivers? longer hours on the road for less money #UberLyftStrike #UberShutDown #UberStrike #LyftStrike thestranger.com/slog/2017/12/2…
uber/lyft claim that they’re merely a platform for contractors, *not* employers obligated to provide drivers protections/benefits. as @Econ_Marshall explains, if that’s true then uber/lyft are actually violating antitrust law by “price-fixing” millions of rides 🤔 #UberLyftStrike

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

'Christine Ford, the brave new hero to feminists, expects America to believe she needed a second front door for her Palo Alto home because, more than three decades after Judge Brett Kavanaugh allegedly tried to rape her, she was still feeling “claustrophobic.”
'Although, as she said, the two front doors are not, alas, “aesthetically pleasing,” at least the professor felt as safe as any snowflake college student with her coloring books and Play-Doh.'

This Day in Labor History: October 1, 1910: Leaders of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers blow up the Los Angeles Times building because it is so anti-union. Let's talk about this strange moment in the American labor movement.
In the early 20th century, Los Angeles was arguably America’s most conservative city. An hotbed of anti-union extremism, organized labor was almost entirely nonexistent. No one did more to push this policy than Harrison Gray Otis.
In 1896, Otis took over the city’s Merchants Association and turned it to an virulently anti-union organization. Using his powerful newspaper as a mouthpiece for antiunionism, Otis spent the next two decades as the nation’s most important anti-union advocate.
