>“The Teamsters do not care if you have a D, an R or an I next to your name,” Taylor said at a news conference in Houston last Wednesday. “We’re interested in one thing. Are you ready to help us tackle big issues to improve the lives of working families?”
And this is why trade unionism by itself is never gonna lead to liberation. Fighting for bigger scraps of the imperial pie is a losing battle.

>Some people don’t have a choice but to live in flood-prone areas, where land is typically cheaper. **Often, cities and towns only allow cheaper housing like mobile and manufactured homes to go in places that carry a higher risk of flooding**, said Andrew Rumbach, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute who studies climate risk. When a weather disaster destroys a mobile home park, often it gets rebuilt right where it was, Rumbach said.

Good comportment and proper decorum is not a guarantee of risk-free newsgathering (obvs). But the article touches on the general stakes touched by organic journalists while pursuing stories, and how important it is to follow conventions even when the outcome is wrong and unfair.
As well, practical advice on how to improve net results.
