You can't turn around these days without bumping into scary inflation talk, and with reason: asset bubbles, supply chain shocks and energy geopolitics are on their way to wiping out the wage gains eked out by low-waged workers during the pandemic's labor shortage. 1/ A WWI-era anti-profiteering editorial cartoon featuring an o

The underlying message of this scare-talk is that we've been too generous with "essential workers," by allowing them to inch a little closer to a living wage, and now it's time to roll that back, for their own good. 3/

It's one (true) thing to say that American union membership is down - that's a quantifiable, objective proposition. It's another to say that American unions are weak - and contrariwise, that unions are getting stronger. That's a lot more abstract and harder to pin down. 1/ A 1952 Teamsters Union card in the name of Harvey W Harper.

But here's a concrete version of what it means for a union to be weak, and for it to be getting stronger: the Teamsters election, hereclutch of do-nothing, sellout lifers were ousted from their cushy offices by militant challengers who made specific, meaningful promises. 3/

Harvard is a very, very selective school. Only 3.43% of applicants get in. But that's not the whole story. Writing in @TheGuardian, Tayo Bero says that 43% of the white student body was admitted on criteria other than merit.

Those 43% are ALDCs: athletes, legacies, dean's interest list (children of major donors) or children (of Harvard faculty). Three quarters of ALDCs do not have the grades to be admitted to Harvard on their own merit. 3/
