“The GMB estimates that paying 1,300 additional workers costs Amazon over £300,000 a week.”
Amazon would rather do this at one warehouse than have its workers form a union.
This is how much they fear unions. If this doesn’t convince you how important unions are, nothing will.

Surprised to see the best answer on this is from Danny Sauter. None of them explicitly urge a No vote (boo), but Sauter, Sharon Lai, and Moe Jamil say kind of critical things about it, with Sauter being the most strongly critical.

Several factors converging at once have renewed the Biden administration’s hopes that it can break through the Gaza stalemate in the next week or two.
Mr. Biden’s team wants to capitalize on the successful defense of Israel from Iranian attack,
rising public pressure in Israel to free the hostages
and Saudi eagerness for a new diplomatic and security initiative.
The window may be short.
The president’s advisers are pressing for a cease-fire deal before Israel ca…

Biden Team Sees Narrow Window for Deal on Cease-Fire and Hostages in Gaza
A number of factors have converged to make this a moment when the president might be able to break through the stalemate, advisers say. But their optimism has been dashed before.

Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on this week's Haaretz Podcast says for Ben-Gvir, Smotrich and Netanyahu, #Gaza is only the beginning - they are aiming for "Armageddon, that will make it possible to expel many of the Palestinians in the West Bank."
‘We Are Very Close to an Eruption Taking Place in Israel’ | Portside

‘We Are Very Close to an Eruption Taking Place in Israel’
In a recent op-ed in Haaretz, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right ministers of knowingly steering Israel into an all-out war.

Florida Man Leaves Tactical Vest And Loaded Rifle Behind After Crashing Stolen Plane Into Lamp Post — Jalopnik
If I was going to try and steal a vehicle, I’d at least make sure I knew how to control it before I made the dastardly attempt. That doesn’t appear to have been a consideration for one Florida man that tried to make off with a light aircraft this week, as they managed to crash the craft into a lamppost before even making it to the runway.

Latest mock draft has the Cowboys giving up on young player
The NFL Scouting Combine is taking place this week, which leaves just enough time for another mock draft. We reviewed one by A to Z Sports film/draft analyst James Foster last week where the Cowboys surprisingly took a cornerback. This go around we have another one from A to Z Sports, only this time we have one from Destin Adams, who has boots in the ground in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine.  Surprise, it is another pick that I don't agree with: Illinois defensive tackle, Jer'Zh…

Picking the best Day 3 draft targets for the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of 2024 NFL Combine
The Las Vegas Raiders have a ton of hard decisions to make regarding their roster. Obviously, free agency comes first, but the NFL draft is where they will make the future core of the roster. With the NFL Combine this week, all eyes are on some huge prospects. The Raiders are there in Indianapolis, Indiana, to see what all happens, interview players, and watch workouts. We know all of the needs this team needs. They are a team that barely missed out on the playoffs last season with a terrible o…

Despite all the pantomimed assurances of communications to the proper parties yesterday, nobody today had any idea why I am here. I'm tired. Tired of incompetence. Tired of clearly…

Edit: So reason has prevailed, and we will not be getting another.
Our ages (74 and 67), potential compatibility issues with current incumbents, and costs have all factored into the decision.
Thanks!
The mother of one of our cats (Zaz) is due to have another litter next week.This is what's going on in my mind.
We have 3 Cornish Rex Cats already:
Badger who is 9, we got as a retired breeder, then aged 6
Pangolin, also retired breeder is about 4
Zaz will be 2 next week.

No! Three cats are plenty. Especially Cornish Rex cats.
Three is an odd number, you need 4 to be safe.
While relative peace reigns why risk upsetting everyone?
If you can afford it and have room for another litter tray, why not?

I always felt bad for crews that got assigned Boeing and not SpaceX for the first launch, such a giant bummer.
Fingers crossed all goes well.

The last several days have seen a Republican stampede to distance the party from the Alabama Supreme Court’s decision of a week ago, when it ruled that embryos frozen for in vitro fertilization (IVF) should be considered children and that their injury can be treated like injury to a child.

Cowboys have 'mutual interest' with familiar running back
Earlier this week, a report named both Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook as running backs interested in a deal with the Cowboys. In the case of the former, that feeling appears to be mutual. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Elliott and the Cowboys “have mutual interest in a reunion.” The former No. 4 pick began his career in Dallas, spending seven years with the team. Over the early portion of that span, he was one of the league’s dominant running backs; Elliott led the NFL in rushing in 201…

Ezekiel Elliott Sends Strong Message After Cowboys Reunion
The Dallas Cowboys reunited with an old friend earlier this week, signing running back Ezekiel Elliott to a one-year deal. Elliott is pumped to rejoin the Cowboys and made that very clear with what he posted to his X account on Monday. Given how brutal Dallas’ backfield situation was, many were identifying Elliott as a potential fit over the last month. Prior to signing Elliott, the Cowboys’ running back room featured Deuce Vaughn and Rico Dowdle. They were expected to select a halfback in …
