Unions. Liberals.-----Detroit teachers sickout closes most schools today
Detroit teachers sickout closes most schools today - Crain's Detroit Business:
"A mass sickout has forced the Detroit Public Schools district to close 94 of its 97 schools.
The move by the Detroit Federation of Teachers was announced Sunday, a day after the district's transition manager said the district will have no money to continue paying teachers this summer without further funding from the state.
...The district's state-appointed transition manager Steven Rhodes said 45,628 of approximately 46,000 students were forced to miss classes Monday as 1,562 teachers called in sick.
Detroit's schools are expected to be out of cash starting July 1.
The state earlier gave the district $48.7 million in emergency funding to keep it open through June 30 as the Legislature considers a $720 million restructuring plan.
...Teacher strikes are illegal under Michigan law.
Sick-outs earlier this year caused tens of thousands of students to miss class."

NYPD Using 'Nuisance Abatement' Law To Force Small Businesses To Install Cameras, Agree To Warrantless Searches
NYPD Using 'Nuisance Abatement' Law To Force Small Businesses To Install Cameras, Agree To Warrantless Searches | Techdirt:
"...Under the guise of policing "nuisance businesses," certain precincts are targeting minority-owned businesses -- usually small bodegas, laundromats, etc. -- with abatement actions that force owners to either lose their source of income or capitulate to the NYPD's overreaching demands.
One business owner was hit with a "nuisance abatement" action -- one which could lead to his laundromat being closed for at least 30 days -- after undercover officers twice sold stolen goods to store customers.

Sung Cho's laundromat had nothing to do with either sale, other than being open for business when the sales were made.
Despite Cho's lack of culpability in the selling of stolen goods, the NYPD portrayed his business as a "facilitator" of illegal activity and hit his store with a restraining order.
As Ryley reports, the nuisance abatement program is prone to abuse, what with its one-sided court process (NYPD files complaint and asks for restraining orders without notifying the business owner or allowing them to challenge the orders) and very loose definition of "facilitation."
While the statute does provide that business owners must be given a chance to challenge an order within three business days of being presented with it, the NYPD routinely serves orders on Thursday or Friday, forcing businesses to close over the weekend, normally their busiest sales days..."Watch the Final Moments of These Incompetent ISIS Fighters
Watch the Final Moments of These Incompetent ISIS Fighters | The Daily Sheeple
When ISIS first swept across the Middle East, they seemed like an unstoppable juggernaut.
They really lived up to their propaganda.
Every town and city they came across swiftly fell under their draconian rule, as bumbling Iraqi soldiers failed to contain them, and the overwhelmed Syrian military failed to send them packing.
These days however, ISIS seems to be in disarray.
They’re short on cash and short on supplies. And as this video shows, they’re also short on competent fighters.
Vice News recently obtained headcam footage that a Peshmerga soldier had picked off of a dead ISIS fighter.
This is the current state of ISIS.
Their fighters are scared, poorly trained, and utterly incompetent.

Confederate Monument to be Removed from University of Louisville After 120 Years | TheBlaze.com:"After years of debates, the University of Louisville in Kentucky made the decision Friday to remove a Confederate monument from the spot it has held near campus since 1895.
The stone monument, which had been erected to honor the Kentucky soldiers who fought and died for the Confederacy during the Civil War, subsequently will be moved to a different location, according to the Associated Press. Capping the monument stood a statue of a Confederate soldier, as well."

No, slavery didn’t build America
No, slavery didn’t build America. | Intellectual Takeout:
"It’s a popular narrative, but history doesn’t support it.
...Southerners also relied on connections in the North for imported goods.
The South became, economically if not formally, a kind of colonial dependency of the North.”
That isn’t the description of strength that one would think would come from a region employing the “peculiar institution” that America supposedly was built upon.
Instead, it would appear that a region dependent upon enslaving others ended up enslaving itself to a free North.
...In 1860 the North had over 110,000 manufacturing establishments, the South just 18,000.
The North produced 94 percent of the country’s iron, 97 percent of is coal and – not incidentally – 97 percent of its firearms.
It contained 22,000 miles of railroad to the South’s 8,500.
The North outperformed the South agriculturally as well.
Northerners held 75 percent of the country’s farm acreage, produced 60 percent of its livestock, 67 percent of its corn, and 81 percent of its wheat.
All in all, they held 75 percent of the nation’s total wealth.”
That final statistic combined with the North’s victory in the Civil War should be sufficient to dispel the idea that America was built on slavery.
Keep in mind, too, that not all of the wealth in the South was generated by slaves.
Free men in the South also worked their own fields and industries.
The truth is, America was primarily built on the industry of free people.
Slavery was a terrible thing that went against the founding ideals of the country.
Nonetheless, we do not need to create false narratives to know it was wrong and to have sympathy for both those who lived through it and for those who carried the scars forward.
Indeed, it does damage to one’s cause to push a false narrative that cannot stand up under scrutiny and calls in to question any other statements one makes as well as the agenda for making them."

'Safe place' set aside for those upset at campus talk on transgenderism's threat to liberty
'Safe place' set aside for those upset at campus talk on transgenderism's threat to liberty - The College Fix
Matt Walsh appearance prompts need for safe space
This Thursday, members of the UC Santa Barbara Young Americans for Liberty are slated to host popular conservative writer Matt Walsh for a talk titled “An Encroachment on Liberty: How the Left Exploits Transgender Laws.”
Students offended by the topic, instead of simply not attending the speech, have gone a step further — and organized a “safe place” for the same time as the talk.
“Recently, the transgender community in Isla Vista [where UCSB is located] has been the target of hateful, abusive, and belittling statements and gatherings,” organizers state in announcing their counter event on Facebook.
“In response and as a sign of solidarity, there will be a free meal at St. Michael’s [Episcopal] University Church.
This Cinco de Mayo-themed meal will be a safe place for all who identify with or support the transgender community,” the announcement states.
...Organizers of the upcoming talk have indicated it promises to be something of an academic discussion not on the choice of transgenderism per se, but rather on how it is affecting our entire nation — an interesting legal and societal topic worthy of consideration by all stripes.
Said organizers: “[I]n the last couple years we have seen *the state* force businesses and citizens to, e.g., create “gender neutral” restrooms, or to pay for sex reassignment surgery, or to not ‘misgender’ someone on pain of a fee of $250,000, etc..."

Seattle Citizens’ Trash Now Safe From Unwarranted Government Snooping
Seattle Citizens’ Trash Now Safe From Unwarranted Government Snooping - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"A judge has ruled that snooping trash collectors in Seattle cannot simply go through garbage bins without any sort of warrant to determine whether its citizens are putting food in the wrong place.
It's a win for the property-rights-focused lawyers of the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF).
The Foundation brought suit last year on behalf of a Seattle citizen over a law that mandated that no more than 10 percent of a resident's "regular" trash bin contain food waste.
The food was supposed to go into the yard waste bin so that it could be composted.
Rather than simply asking residents to do this, the city decided to make it a law and mandate fines. The fines were minor—$1 per container violation—but nevertheless enforcement required permitting the guys picking up trash to snoop through containers to look for compliance..."

Obama Unveils New Gun Control Plan, Including ‘Smart Gun’ Requirements and More
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama announced new steps Friday to help curb gun violence, including by identifying the requirements that “smart guns” would have to meet for law enforcement agencies to buy and use them as well as sharing mental health records with the federal background check system.
Smart guns use various technologies to prevent an accidental shooting or help track down a missing gun.
“These common-sense steps are not going to prevent every tragedy, but what if they prevented even one?” Obama wrote in a Facebook post. “We should be doing everything we can to save lives and spare families the pain and unimaginable loss too many Americans have endured.”
As Obama unveiled a plan last January to expand federal background checks for gun purchases, he directed the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Justice to conduct or sponsor research into smart-gun technology.
Obama also instructed the agencies to regularly review the availability of such technology and to promote its use..."
This Childless Author Thinks All Women Deserve Maternity Leave
This Childless Author Thinks All Women Deserve Maternity Leave - Us Weekly
Childless author Meghann Foye has come under fire.
The reason: She believes that maternity leave is, in her words, a “time and space for self-reflection.”
...“After 10 years of working in a job where I was always on deadline, I couldn’t help but feel envious when parents on staff left the office at 6 p.m. to tend to their children, where it was assumed co-workers without kids would stay behind to pick up the slack,” wrote Foye.
That’s when the 38-year-old dreamed up the term “Meternity,” which she describes as “a sabbatical-like break that allows women and, to a lesser degree, men to shift their focus to the part of their lives that doesn’t revolve around their jobs.”
The New Jersey-based writer also feels that parents have an advantage in the work place..."

Know Thy Enemy: a Classier Take on Class Warfare - Texas Millennial Institute
Know Thy Enemy: a Classier Take on Class Warfare - Texas Millennial Institute:
"In case you didn’t know it, the ultra-rich are widely vilified—particularly within movements such as Occupy Wall Street and the political campaign of Bernie Sanders, which has captured the hearts of many a burgeoning millennial. Who are the ultra-rich? And why are they widely vilified? Many are executives, or work in industries such as finance, law, medicine, and technology—with the top 1% having an average household income of $1.2 million in 2008, according to federal tax data.1 While some inherited substantial wealth, many are self-made.
As for their vilification, it has a lot to do with what is called greed. Did ever a word sound more vicious? Greed is ugly, sinful avarice; the root of all evil; or so, at least, many of us are taught. While some look at the ultra-rich and see success, others see only greed."

The Death of a Nation
The Death of a Nation | PJ Media:
Adam Smith once observed that "there's a lot of ruin in a nation".
A lot, but not an infinite amount.
Venezuela proves that given enough stupidity it is possible to run through even the biggest design margin.
"From the 1950s to the early 1980s the Venezuelan economy was the strongest and most prosperous in South America.
..Unfortunately riches on that scale attract what economists call the curse of plenty, after the observable fact that "countries with an abundance of natural resources, specifically non-renewable resources like minerals and fuels, tend to have less economic growth, less democracy, and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources."
The problem is that easy money attracts the wrong kind of leaders and incentivizes the wrong kind of public behavior.
"Countries that rely on natural resource exports may tend to neglect education because they see no immediate need for it.
Resource-poor economies like Singapore, Taiwan or South Korea, by contrast, spent enormous efforts on education."
...But when the Venezuelans sought relief from the ordinarily corrupt governments in a Marxist named Hugo Chavez, they found it was possible to go from bad to worse..."
