A moderate running in one of the country's most liberal
A moderate running in one of the country's most liberal districts, Goldman benefited from a logjam of progressive candidates vying for the newly drawn, open seat in Lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Niou, who is on track to finish a close second, openly considered a third-party bid against Goldman in November. But she -- along with the Working Families Party, whose ballot line she could have run on -- ultimately decided against it. * "I will not be on the WFP line for the general," ...

How can a system so flawed be so powerful?
How can a system so flawed be so powerful? Again, no one can opt out, so the consumer base is built in. The for-profit companies have no motivation to provide any real service for consumers. "One of the reasons that [errors] keep happening is that they can get away with it — they are an oligopoly, you can't pick between them, like you can with mobile carriers, says Wu. * All a consumer can do in the current system is dispute any errors, which relies on consumers knowing their rights and ...

There's still a shortage of workers
There's still a shortage of workersThe labor force participation rate ticked down to 62.1% from June's 62.2%, its third decline in as many months.

With this tool, consumers can look up nearby recycling centers. SERI also offers an online tool to find a certified recycling center. Jeff Seibert, the chief pr...

Charging deserts
Charging desertsThen I began to notice something. As I drove through North Carolina and then South Carolina, the little markers on the map screen indicating available chargers became fewer and fewer. During some fairly long stretches there were none showing at all. It wasn't an immediate concern, though.
