Backstory: over the last few days a story has circulated through right-wing media that Kamala Harris' children's book was being given to children as part of welcome packs at migrant detention centers, with the underlying assumption that the federal government was paying for thousands of copies of the book. This, it turns out, is not true.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/27/politics/new-york-post-fact-check-kamala-harris-book-migrants/index.html

The Post's Tuesday changes to the article, which was originally published on Friday, followed a Washington Post fact check in which a Long Beach spokesman explained that a community member had donated a single copy of the Harris children's book, "Superheroes Are Everywhere," as part of a book drive -- and that the book would not be handed out in a welcome kits.
The spokesman, Kevin Lee, told the Washington Post and later CNN that neither the federal government nor the city government had purchased copies of the Harris book. Lee told CNN in an email that books will be made available at the shelter in an informal library, not pre-selected for each child's welcome package.

I'm an American, but I feel like I have a decent grasp of it from Wikipedia

Effectively, it's baseball, except there's no foul territory and just two "bases." A run is scored each time the batter (they use the term batsman) runs from one to the other safely. They can keep batting until they're put out, either by the ball hitting the wicket (think striking out), being caught on the fly (a flyout) or they are thrown out by not reaching a base in time.

Each team bats until every batter is out, and then they switch. In test cricket, this is done twice. I'm simplifying with baseball comparisons, but that's the gist as I understand it.

TopicManhattan Community Board Calls Giving Gig Workers Bathroom Access 'Crazy'

https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7bvzd/manhattan-community-board-calls-giving-gig-workers-bathroom-access-crazy

For as long as app-based gig labor platforms have existed, access to bathrooms has been a huge concern for workers pressed for time to make ends meet. These concerns have only grown worse as employers adopt gig economy practices and as COVID-19 intensifies demand for food delivery nationwide.

Given the rhetoric from well-to-do communities dependent on gig work before and during the pandemic honoring essential workers, it may come as a surprise that one community board in Manhattans Upper West Side had nothing but venom for a relatively innocuous suggestion during a community Zoom meeting last week that was spotted by Streetsblog New York: to pass a non-binding resolution encouraging restaurants to let delivery workers to use their bathrooms.

"This is an example of how we as a society take some of our essential workers for granted and unintentionally treat them as something less than human. We're completely ignoring whether or not our delivery workers have a place to perform an essential human function, Community Board 7 Transportation Committee member Ken Coughlin, who introduced the resolution, began. "They're risking their lives for us, literally, so we don't have to over the past year. So we can order in without having to go to a store or a restaurant and I think they deserve better. I think we need to start treating them as if their lives and their working conditions matter and I think bathroom access is as good of a place as any to start.
Coughlin was describing one of the most consistent concerns raised by workers on gig platforms, but also in workplaces that adopt gig work labor practices such as Amazon: that time spent using the bathroom translates to time spent not earning money, dangerous in a line of work that can often pay a sub-minimum wage.

The resolution pointed out that because the city has few public restrooms, delivery workers have "few if any legal options to relieve themselves or wash their hands" during an ongoing pandemic. As such, it asked that restaurants in the district either allow delivery workers unrestricted use of restrooms or have their refusal to do so noted for when the restaurant later asks for community board support when applying for a liquor or sidewalk cafe license.
Fellow board members were aghast at the suggestion, questioning whether it was even worthy of discussion and saying voting on the remedy would be crazy.

Board member Lina Alexander berated Coughlin multiple times for failing to consider how complex the issue was, insisting that he was not considering the perspectives of stakeholders like overwhelmingly senior citizen patrons, a lack of public facilities, or the classification of workers as independent contractors rather than employees.

There's so many issues here that you're just kind of conflating here and making it a simple 'Oh the bad restaurants aren't letting them in,' Alexander said. If we want to provide services, I think it should be up to the restaurants that have the facilities, that have the staff, and give them an opportunity to volunteer and then reimburse them for the extra costs that are going to be faced cleaning them especially with the COVID protocols.

She went on to dismiss Coughlins resolution as an attempt to penalize restaurants with punitive measures that would hurt small businesses, and proposed looking into a fund that would pay restaurants for letting gig workers use their restrooms.

Josh Cohen is another board member who insisted it was "a larger issue" while also somehow wondering if it was even an issue to begin with, saying that voting on it would be crazy without consulting business owners for evidence that it is a problem.
When Howard Yaruss, one of the only members sympathetic to the resolution, tried to propose an amendment that would strike the last paragraph mentioning liquor licenses, other members on the call grew even more belligerent and doubled down on doubt about whether gig worker access to bathrooms was as serious a problem as Coughlin and his resolution suggested.
"I was just thinking of whatever leverage we have as a community board," Coughlin explained when pressed by the board as to why he would violate restaurants apparently God-given right to have a liquor license. "We do this in the case of bike lights or vests or restaurants, I know that BCI has regularly asked applicants Do you have bike lights for your delivery guys and vests and bells and I believe you've been willing to withhold approval if they don't."
At one point, Coughlin appeared shocked by what he was hearing and said, "You would think we are talking about a different kind of human being.

Its important to emphasize that this was a non-binding resolution. Nothing in the text wouldve actually forced restaurants to allow workers to use their restrooms, nor would it have guaranteed punishment. Instead it could be seen as an advisory statement, suggesting that we take seriously the humanity of gig workers and let them perform a basic human function, especially when these gig workers were what were keeping the restaurants alive during the pandemic.

Compare it to how many lives they save though. The CDC conducted a study a while back and said that responsible firearm owners prevent violent crimes anywhere from 500,000 to 2,000,000 times per year.

Also, sure, North Korea may have low gun crime rates, but how many citizens are killed by their government? How about Venezuela? They're doing great I hear.
Our government kills significantly more people (on a per capita basis) than any in Europe. It's not even close!

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-plans-to-raise-extra-dollar80bn-from-high-earners-and-corporations/ar-BB1g6tFG?
Joe Biden plans to give tax collectors an extra $80bn to seek as much as $700bn in new revenue from high earners and large corporations, as part of the American Families Plan set to be unveiled this week.

Separately, the White House announced overnight that Biden will issue an executive order requiring federal contractors to pay a $15 minimum wage to workers on federal contracts.

Enhanced tax enforcement by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), coupled with new disclosure rules, could raise $700bn over the next decade from wealthy people and privately-owned businesses, according to unidentified administration officials speaking to the New York Times.

The additional funding represents an increase of two-thirds over the agencys entire funding levels for the past decade.

This is good; I'm just shitposting with the title to poke at what we call law enforcement and what we don't.
