The 5th amendment gives you a right to not incriminate yourself when facing prosecution. It doesn't apply to civil cases, and Cosby was asked to testify for one with the knowledge that his words couldn't be used against him in criminal court. Then a new DA came in and promptly did just that.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climate-and-people/hotter-human-body-can-handle-pakistan-city-broils-worlds-highest/

When the full midsummer heat hits Jacobabad, the city retreats inside as if sheltering from attack.

The streets are deserted and residents hunker down as best they can to weather temperatures that can top 52C (126F).
Few have any air conditioning, and blackouts mean often there is no mains electricity. The hospital fills with heatstroke cases from those whose livelihoods mean they must venture out.

When it gets that hot, you can't even stay on your feet, explains one resident, Zamir Alam.

It's a very, very difficult time when it goes beyond 50C. People do not come out of their houses and the streets are deserted, Abdul Baqi, a shopkeeper, adds.

This city of some 200,000 in Pakistan's Sindh province has long been renowned for its fierce heat, but recent research has conferred an unwelcome scientific distinction.

Its mixture of heat and humidity has made it one of only two places on earth to have now officially passed, albeit briefly, a threshold hotter than the human body can withstand.

With this region of Pakistan along the Indus Valley considered one of the places most vulnerable to climate change in the world, there are fears that Jacobabad's temperatures may increase further, or other cities may join the club.

The Indus Valley is arguably close to being the number one spot worldwide, says Tom Matthews, a lecturer in climate science at Loughborough University. When you look at some of the things to worry about, from water security to extreme heat, it's really the epicentre.

Mr Matthews and colleagues last year analysed global weather station data and found that Jacobabad and Ras al Khaimah, north east of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, have both temporarily crossed the deadly threshold. The milestone had been surpassed decades ahead of predictions from climate change models.

The researchers examined what are called wet bulb temperatures. These are taken from a thermometer covered in a water-soaked cloth so they take into account both heat and humidity.

Wet bulb thermometer readings are significantly lower than the more familiar dry bulb readings, which do not take humidity into account. Researchers say that at a wet bulb reading of 35C, the body can no longer cool itself by sweating and such a temperature can be fatal in a few hours, even to the fittest people.

It approximates how warm it feels to humans because we cool via sweating, Mr Matthews says. We rely on that exclusively. When you use that measure, the wet bulb temperature, the two regions that stand out on earth are the shores of the Gulf and the Indus Valley in Pakistan. They are truly exceptional.

Jacobabad crossed the 35C wet bulb threshold in July 1987, then again in June 2005, June 2010 and July 2012. Each time the boundary may have been breached for only a few hours, but a three-day average temperature has been recorded hovering around 34C in June 2010, June 2001 and July 2012. The dry bulb temperature is often over 50C in the summer.

Patchy death records mean it is not clear whether the crossing of the threshold resulted in a wave of fatalities. The effects of entering the danger zone are likely to be blurred, for example with cooler interiors of buildings temporarily sheltering residents from the worst. It also depends on how long the threshold is crossed.

Were they essentially banned for posting right wing conspiracy theories and disinformation so they could be critiqued?

That seems to be what happened. They note though, that in many cases their video got taken down while the stuff they were covering remained on YouTube.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/youtube-permanently-bans-right-wing-watch-a-media-watchdog-devoted-to-exposing-right-wing-conspiracies

Right Wing Watch has been permanently suspended from YouTube, the organization announced on Twitter on Monday.

According to screenshots posted by RWW, the Google-owned video platform informed the group that their official YouTube channel would be permanently removed from the site due to numerous violations of its community guidelines.

According to Right Wing Watch, their appeal of the suspension was also denied by YouTube, which again claimed that the watchdog groupwhich monitors disinformation, conspiracies, and violent rhetoric from far-right media outlets and personalitieswas in violation of its guidelines and terms of service.
Meanwhile, many of the far-right extremists merely exposed by RWW remain on the platform.

YouTube did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Right Wing Watch senior fellow Kyle Mantyla told The Daily Beast that this had been an ongoing problem with YouTube for years, despite their efforts to make clear to the platform that their videos worked to expose extremism and contained disclaimers to that effect.

He also noted that the issues with YouTube had escalated over the past year, as the platform has tried to crack down on COVID-19 misinformation and election-related conspiracies, roping in much of RWWs efforts to expose this type of rhetoric.
Mantyla said that YouTube recently gave the RWW channelwhich has roughly 60,000 subscriberstwo strikes in April over videos it posted, prompting the watchdog to refrain from posting more content to the site until the strikes dropped off after 90 days. (Right Wing Watch had largely relied on rival platform Vimeo to host its videos in the meantime.)

And then they found some video from eight years ago, that they flagged, took that down, and that was our third strike, he explained. And they took down our entire account.

According to Mantyla, the third strike occurred last week and the channel was taken down at that point. Notification that their appeal was rejected, however, wasnt sent until early Monday morning, when Right Wing Watch went public about the ban.

Right Wing Watch is run by the nonprofit organization People For the American Way, which was initially founded in 1981 as a liberal counterpoint to the conservative Christian group Moral Majority.

Launched in 2007, Right Wing Watch has posted thousands of clips of prominent right-wing figures making controversial comments, perhaps most famously including televangelist Pat Robertson and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. In fact, Right Wing Watchs exposure of Jones false and conspiratorial rhetoric was key to YouTube and other social-media platforms eventually removing his channel InfoWars from their sites.

Notably, many of the right-wing outlets and personalities that Right Wing Watch chronicles are not currently suspended or banned from posting content to YouTube, while RWW has been booted for merely exposing their comments and contentsomething Mantyla noted as being particularly ironic.

The number of times our video has gotten flagged and removed and the video from which we took it is still up on YouTube, youre just like, well, something is wrong with your system here, he declared.
Other sites and reporters specializing in reporting on right-wing disinformation and extremism have also occasionally run into problems with YouTubes uneven policies against hate speech and offensive content.

For instance, independent journalist Ford Fischer, who documents activism and extremism, was informed in June 2019 that his channel had been demonetized (no longer eligible to receive ad revenue) due to repeated violations of the sites policies.

While Right Wing Watch had essentially moved away from regularly posting its videos to YouTube over the past year, as Mantyla noted, the deletion of the sites channel erases a deep, years-long archive of video clipseffectively eliminating a resource for understanding and exposing right-wing extremism.

By lunchtime, the representatives from the recruiting agency Express Employment Professionals decided to pack up and leave the job fair in the St. Louis suburb of Maryland Heights. Hardly anyone had shown up.

We were hoping we would see prepandemic levels, said Courtney Boyle, general manager of Express. After all, Missouri had just cut off federal unemployment benefits.
Business owners had complained that the assistance, as Gov. Mike Parson put it, incentivized people to stay out of the work force. He made Missouri one of the first four states to halt the federal aid; a total of 26 have said they will do so by next month. But in the St. Louis metropolitan area, where the jobless rate was 4.2 percent in May, those who expected the June 12 termination would unleash a flood of job seekers were disappointed.
Work-force development officials said they had seen virtually no uptick in applicants since the governors announcement, which ended a $300 weekly supplement to other benefits. And the online job site Indeed found that in states that have abandoned the federal benefits, clicks on job postings were below the national average.

Of course, its early. But conversations with employers who are hunting for workers and people who are hunting for jobs in the St. Louis area revealed stark differences in expectations and assumptions about what a days work is worth.

The divide raises a fundamental question of what a healthy labor market looks like. Does it mean workers are on such a knife edge that they feel compelled to take the first job that comes along? Or is it one in which employers are the ones who have to scramble and feel pressured to raise wages and improve working conditions? Are the economy and the public better off when workers get to be choosy or when employers do?

One way you might define normal is when employers and workers have the same idea of what an appropriate package looks like, and then the issue is matching up the people with the jobs, said Katharine G. Abraham, an economist at the University of Maryland and a former commissioner at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Clearly part of the problem now, she said, is that what employers and what workers think is out of whack.

Why businesses are having such trouble hiring when 9.3 million people were unemployed in May is a puzzle that has generated lots of speculation, but little hard evidence. Many economists are skeptical that enhanced jobless benefits have played an outsize role in the hiring squeeze. They are more likely to point to child care and continuing health fears with less than half the population fully vaccinated. Nor should it be surprising that the nations road back from the harrowing limbo of the pandemic, in which millions of jobs vanished and more than 600,000 people have died, is bumpy.

In any case, the squeeze has given many job seekers the confidence that they can push for higher wages or wait until employers come around.

They know how in demand they are, said Angelic Hobart, a client service manager at American Staffing who occupied a table at the Maryland Heights job fair. And I think that is being taken advantage of. She said she had dozens of manufacturing, warehouse, sales, office and technology positions to fill. But public benefits have made people very complacent, she said. And sometimes their pay expectations are way over what their skill level is.

Many of the 34 employers and agencies at the job fair said they had raised wages by $1 an hour or more in recent months. And they shared a refrain: There were good jobs available but not enough good workers to fill them, those who were reliable and were willing to work hard.

Thats not the way Elodie Nohone saw it. Theyre offering $10, $12, $13, said Ms. Nohone, who already earns $15 an hour as a visiting caregiver and was hoping to find a higher-paying opportunity. Theres no point in being here.

Her boyfriend, Damond Green, was making his way around the room. He holds two jobs, one at McDonalds, where after seven years he earns $15 an hour, and another providing home health care. He and Ms. Nohone have a baby on the way, and Mr. Green is looking for one job with higher pay. Two jobs stretch you thin, he said.

I want to do something where my work is appreciated, he said, and pay me decent. His goal is to earn $50,000 a year, or about $25 an hour roughly the median earnings of wage and salaried employees in the United States.

The labor markets deeper problem, said Francine D. Blau, an economist at Cornell University, is the proliferation of low-paid jobs with few prospects for advancement and too little income to cover essential expenses like housing, food and health care.
...
The Biden administration has made clear that it seeks to tilt bargaining power toward workers. At the core of the presidents economic model, said Jared Bernstein, a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, is the view that workers too often lack the necessary bargaining clout to claim their fair share of growth that they themselves are helping to produce.

In recent decades, a declining share of the countrys income and its productivity gains has gone to workers. And for adults without a four-year college degree, the options are especially bleak. From 1974 to 2018, for example, real wages for men with only a high school diploma declined by 7 percent. For those without that diploma, wages fell by 18 percent.

For most of the last 40 years, less than full employment has tended to give employers the advantage. As it becomes harder to find qualified candidates, though, employers are often slow to adjust expectations.
