Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
What's the point of all these lawsuits over mergers when every single time there is clearly a monopolistic merger it just goes through anyways.

Student protesters face same suspensions as those who bring assault rifles to campus
More protests need people openly armed so cops are less likely to abuse us and leaders listen.
Very cool students!

Startups are using remote work to attract talent; report: 81% of companies with fewer than 5K employees offer remote work vs. 26% for those with 25K+ employees
Remember y'all, unionize your workplace so they can't take away remote work from you

No, the best thing to do is listen to teamsters leadership and if they ask for a boycott stop using them until the deal goes through.

Can you rate my build?
Get rid of that USB wifi adapter and get a built in wifi card in the mobo. USB adapters are horribly unreliable and break often. You could get a pcie wifi card instead too.
I'd go down to a 5800x3d to save money on ram, mobo and the 7900x is a little overkill when you're getting a 6750xt, you could stay in the 7000 series and go with the 7800x3d if you so desire. You could also upgrade to the 6800/6850xt or 7700 for a bit better gaming performance
I would also put more money into the keyboard, it doesn't look mechanical though it is up to your personal preference entirely. I personally would go mechanical.

My work is organizing right now, this afternoon, and I don't know what I'm doing. What are the best practices? What are the pitfslls?
One of the rules if you decide to go for a union is status quo. The NLRB will require them to keep the status quo until an election is finished. It would help at least in the short term with keeping what you do like.
As for strikes they are supposed to be fairly rare. in my attempts we've never gone that far.
I'd say formally, form a union in your workplace and enjoy the added protections it grants all of you.
There is the possibility the company will break the law so freshen up some resumes for the short term.

By all means an interesting idea but the issue is ups corporate is going to do a few things with this hypothetical. In the short term they get more money (which could A) go to the strike fund or B) is going to be hard for a enough people to matter to get together and give even if temporary)
Then corpos are going to see this increase in demand and see 2 things, something to propagand on and have an inflated number of "lost revenue". It's also possible they'll see this as the public doesn't care about the strike or workers rights
And even if you get refunded the money because they can't deliver then you have to go through UPS "support" or through your cc company. Both are not guaranteed to work and you could just end up giving them money for nothing or for a extra slow package you didn't need.
If you have the funds to do this then donate it to the strike fund you'll be doing a lot better for price to action.
