WorkWorkA Post-Google World"The essence of antitrust law is to try to keep the system working by recognizing that, at certain points, some companies may get too big for their own good, they're self-imploding, or the technology may become so dominant that it's just crushing all other elements where there can be innovation." - Judge Leonie Brinkema, 2023, United States v.

WorkWork WorkWorkWorkWorkG.O.P. Report to Denounce Biden Administration Over Afghanistan WithdrawalThey absolve former President Donald J. Trump almost entirely of responsibility for the debacle, even though an inspector general found in 2022 that the deal his administration struck with the Taliban in 2020, known as the Doha Agreement, to orchestrate a rapid U.S. withdrawal, was a major factor in the crisis. The report instead faults Zalmay Khalilzad, then the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation, for the shortcomings of that pact. WorkLiz Cheney Accuses G.O.P. Trump Backers of Betraying Their PrinciplesShe had particularly harsh words for Ms. Haley, who ran against Mr. Trump in the Republican primary this year and criticized some of the same elements of his character, policy and actions that Ms. Cheney has, but who has since committed to doing whatever she can to help elect him.

Hopefully, with the information gained from SpaceX’s failure, scientists can better understand how the ionosphere responds to human action. And, maybe, someone can once again build a spaceship that actually works. WorkBoeing said it'll build its next plane in SeattleA strike was looming on Sept. 13, but now the union will vote on Boeing’s proposed deal.

Work'Go higher': Bernie Sanders urges Harris to raise 28% capital gains tax rate proposal As Harris tries to build broad support from the center, Sanders\' tepid enthusiasm for her economic platform could work in her favor.

What I\'m doing is saying, let\'s require them to be fiduciaries, ahead of their own self-interest. And if we did that, I think it would solve the craziness that we\'re in.
