The FTC estimates about 30 million people, or one in five American workers, from minimum wage earners to CEOs, are bound by noncompetes. It says the policy change could lead to increased wages totaling nearly $300 billion per year by encouraging people to swap jobs freely.
The dissenting commissioners, Melissa Holyoak and Andrew Ferguson, argued that the FTC was overstepping the boundaries of its power. Holyoak predicted the ban would be challenged in court and eventually struck down.
I don’t mean to be paranoid but sometimes I think about who benefits most from conflict and division on the American Left, and whether they have the resources to artificially sow mistrust of reliable news and advance an agenda that benefits Russian interests.

This seems to be an indication that Israel has been a lot more precise in targeting fighters than I thought. I don’t see another explanation for the huge disparity between men and women.
The typical combatant to civilian casualty rate in embedded urban warfare is about 1/4. Obviously any civilian death is tragic, but it is a reality of war.

Some commenters don’t understand why this is significant. They think it only has to do with who has been positively identified (which is important ongoing work).
Rather, it is cause to revise our understanding of the “indiscriminate killing” narrative. Since Hamas does not incorporate women in their primary fighting forces, the high proportion of men is a strong indication that Israel has been much more precise in targeting militants than previously reported.
War is always a tragedy and I hope that Hamas and Israel can come to an agreement that releases the hostages and ends this conflict so no more civilians have to die.
You’re misunderstanding. Civilian casualties are a tragic reality of war, even moreso during embedded urban warfare, and even more when an enemy has had time to dig in (about 20 years in this case). Hamas combat units do not include women (although they do use child soldiers). This indicates that far more Hamas fighters were killed than previously reported.

I think Graham is just a sleazy politician and knows it will give him more clout. Republicans who have taken a stand against Trump have mostly ended their careers; it’s been a surprising amount of courage from some individuals I didn’t think were capable.
