The European Parliament is considering requiring all goods to be repairable.

mardi 18 juillet 2017 à 02:00

Just this year, right-wing Americans have mostly concluded that college education is harmful and bad for society.

mardi 18 juillet 2017 à 02:00

A US tricking company, Morgan Southern, makes drivers sign expensive lease-to-own agreements, which require them to save a lot of their pay in the company. They lose it all if the company fires them for any reason.

Drivers can't refuse to drive illegally long shifts, or they would get fired.

Drivers can't testify about this illegal practice, or they would get fired.

SCROTUS are attacking Clean Air and Climate defense in a budget bill.

The Capitol Switchboard numbers are 202-224-3121, 888-818-6641 and 888-355-3588.
