Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting.
That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety.
Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

FYI: a hydronym is the name of a body of water.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded.

This feels like it got buried amid all of the mounting allegations around Reform and Farage's funding.
Farage leases property that he owns, to his own company, at exactly £10,000/year. That's a penny under the "over £10,000" rental-income declaration threshold. What is he trying to hide?

There was a global supply glut before the Strait of Hormuz closed. There will be a global supply glut after it re-opens (and it will, eventually). Supply gluts mean low prices. Adding to a supply glut will depress prices further, making these bad investments.
