It’s all labor and the environment this week folks. While produce market workers in the Bronx won a 70 cent pay raise, Lyft drivers are stuck with the new “priority mode,” which they’re calling poverty mode. Take the best parts of the exploitative gig economy and mix em up with race to the bottom and you’ve got a whole new recipe for modern day feudalism. Biden has snatched the permits on the Keystone pipeline, and both Canada and Louisiana are having a sad time about it. Incarcerated people in New York State are seeing massive spikes in Covid cases and deaths. For a bit of good news, Biden has reversed one of Trump’s worst Covid-related policies by redefining what “suitable” work conditions are. We’ll take what we can get over here at Ironweeds.
