The Decline of the Working Musician
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=90535&nl=daily]
Before the gig economy consumed a third of the workforce, it was
mostly musicians who worried about gigs. There are debates about the
origins of the word—some believe it derives from an
eighteenth-century term for horse-drawn carriages that may have
doubled as stages for performers, while others contend that it was
adapted from a Baroque dance called the gigue. But the “gig,” as
shorthand for a casual, one-off paid performance, entered the popular
lexicon during the Jazz Age of the nineteen-twenties and thirties.
There was a mystique to the gigging musician wandering the big city in
search of work, because this work was creative, improvisational, at
times transcendent.

Can Direct Democracy Save Abortion Rights? - The New Yorker
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=90535&nl=daily]
In the first Presidential race since the Supreme Court overturned Roe
v. Wade, the American electorate appeared to stake out two seemingly
irreconcilable positions. Voters gave a mandate to Donald Trump, who
appointed half of the conservative supermajority that abolished the
constitutional right to abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health
Organization. Yet, at the same time, eight states showed majority
support for constitutional amendments that codified abortion rights,
including five states that went for or are leaning toward Trump. In
Missouri, where abortions are completely prohibited except for health
emergencies, Trump won easily, but so did an amendment enshrining
reproductive rights in the state constitution. Trump is poised to win
in Arizona, which has a fifteen-week ban, and where voters affirmed an
amendment protecting abortion rights until fetal viability. A similar
measure in Trumps home state of Florida, Amendment 4, won a slightly
larger majority than Trump himself didand yet the measure failed,
because it did not reach Floridas sixty-per-cent threshold for passing
constitutional amendments. The South Florida Sun Sentinel, reporting
on a ballot initiative that received fifty-seven per cent of the vote,
ran the headline Voters Reject Florida Abortion Rights Amendment.
