Getting even is a need for many people. Donald Trump has made getting even the central theme of his existence. The crawling thing inside him that passes for a soul only wants to punish and diminish his perceived enemies. He lives for this.
The Alumni Association says they changed their mind because it allows them to focus on its core mission of preparing cadets to lead, fight and win as officers.
I believe that is a lie and pitiful nonsense as well.
The award to Tom Hanks was well founded. It would be hard to find any American who has done more for the public of the Academy and the American military.
Why is this award being revoked?
Revenge.
Tom Hanks campaigned for Joe Biden. He was not one of Donald Trump’s friends.
He had to be punished.
This is despicable. It is the behavior of a tyrant. Every Middle Eastern despot, every fascist leader and every South American medal draped fool, all share the same need to make their enemies pay.
There is never enough praise, awards and attention to fill the empty hole of Trump’s tiny ego.
So, he settles for revenge.
The English has a phrase which I want to use on this occasion “he’s not fit to clean his boots.”
And so the fact of the matter is clear. Donald Trump is unworthy even to clean Tom Hanks’ boots.
The story referenced below is a sad tale but a common one.
A young man feeling pressured by his employer worked long hour days for a long period of time and as a result died.
A small sacrifice for predatory capitalism.
I believe in righteousness but there is small part of me that admires the complete ruthlessness of working people to death for maximum profit.
If you can work a human being for forty hours a week, you get the benefit of a regular employee but if you can classify his job as not being covered by hourly limits, you can get him to work eighty hours a work, two workers for the price of one. My understanding is that a hundred hours is the current popular number.
Do I need to tell you that this is a cruel from of exploitation?
We live in a society that worships mammon. The fact that the Bible expressly prohibits the worship of money does not seem to have any traction at all.
Of course any sort of Christian based belief system parted ways with American capitalism long ago.
So, people are being sacrificed to the bottom line. In this case, worked extreme hours for long periods ot time. Dying young saves the company from the problems of paying retirement and there are many other benefits besides.
I remember studying child labor in the late 19th Century. They worked six days a week, 12 hour days. Of course, that is only 72 hours. One could be impressed at the kindness of management.
It is well understood that when huge multi-national corporations mistreat their workers, that they have little individual recourse. They are an atom alone in the universe to paraphrase one of predatory capitalism’s most revered leaders, Margaret Thatcher. Alone and helpless against politically influential and in the case of the United States, politically invulnerable.
Overworking people is just a corporation and its leadership mistreating and exploiting human beings. It is simple abuse.
Why hasn’t anything been done about this?
Because we have two political parties, one dominated by oligarchs and the other has a thing called corporate Democrats which means they attempt at times to appear to be friends of the working class but their abject corporate servility and devotion to corporate contributions are so ingrained they find that any action that might benefit common workers is in their view unrealistic and radical.
In fact, it is quite clear that corporate Democrats find voters a bit intimidating and troublesome. That is why they employ think tank and professional to avoid contact with the teaming masses praying for help.
And so the abuse of workers, unpaid overtime, illegal firings, union busting and sometimes simply working a human being to death is beneath the concern of those running our government.
In the United States corporate profits are superb even magnificent.
Do you know why?
It is hard to fail as an American corporation because you pay few or any taxes, you can legally treat your workers as little more than cattle, and largely exist outside all the rules — and if rules get in your way, you can get them fixed.
It is a very comfortable place for a corporation to exist, not so much for the worker though or the citizen or any human being with moral fiber.
Read the story below and realize that he died for corporate profits.

Madison E. Goldberg writing for People Magazine has a article: Microsoft Engineer Dies at Work at 35 as His Family Warns of Overworking Employees.
A 35-year-old Microsoft engineer died at work in Silicon Valley last month and his family is now warning companies of overworking their employees.
Pratik Pandey was “found face-down” at 2 a.m. local time on Aug. 20 in Mountain View, Calif., on Microsoft’s campus, according to the Palo Alto Daily Post.
The Climate web site whose staff was fired and operations halted is getting a second shot at life. This time as a private venture, climate.us.
Anyone with any concern for our future on this planet should add this to their browser as a useful and important web site.
Rebecca Lindsey is quoted in the article linked to below as saying:
“What’s happening can feel so overwhelming that it’s easy to feel like you’re powerless to do anything about it,” said Lindsey’s team member. “But sometimes you have to just look out and see what’s within your reach. And this problem is within our reach, so we just see it as sort of doing our part.”
And she is right. Every day some new horror, some new obscenity, some new assault on justice, on knowledge, on actual Christianity is thrown out there like a stain on white silk by the current administration and it is easy to get exhausted by the flood.
Eric Holthaus writing for the Guardian wrote the following article: Scientists breathe new life into climate website after shutdown under Trump.
Earlier this summer, access to climate.gov – one of the most widely used portals of climate information on the internet – was thwarted by the Trump administration, and its production team was fired in the process.
…
Now, a team of climate communication experts – including many members of the former climate.gov team – is working to resurrect its content into a new organization with an expanded mission.
Their effort’s new website, climate.us, would not only offer public-facing interpretations of climate science, but could also begin to directly offer climate-related services, such as assisting local governments with mapping increased flooding risk due to climate change.
This is an important lesson, an act of defiance against the fools and charlatans running the current regime.
We must never give into hopelessness.
Our democracy is at stake.
We must fight. They are fighting for scientific knowledge and a respect for factual data. Look at their courage and hard work and realize that what we do matters.
In one of the greatest, if not the greatest, scientific disaster in this nation’s history, the head of the CDC was fired followed by the resignations of some of the finest scientific minds in the nation.
On one side of this firing and these resignations we have an unhinged conspiracy theorist. On the other we have seasoned scientists with decades of experience in dealing with vaccines and disease.
In any other administration, science would prevail.
But we have this administration.
(A picture from the book, An Illustrated History of Ireland from AD 400 to 1800. It was published in the 19th Century. It seems to carry an appropriate ambience for the current situation. jp)
In many business ethics disasters people die, nations are severely harmed, land become barren and toxic. What do you say about this one? This is a situation where a nation’s defense against disease is being compromised. It is possible that millions will die, certainly thousands.
Why this massive shake up? Why are these people being gotten rid of?
What possible rationale could there be to remove these medical and scientific experts from the defense of our nation?
Apparently, the worst and the least of the internet conspiracy theories.
On that basis a great nation goes naked in an environment where new diseases are evolving moment to moment?
Well, yes.
Have we as a nation gone completely mad? Are our leaders a band of unhinged lunatics?
Certainly, there are times when that seems to be the case. The District of Columbia is infested with the National Guard of several states. The President is trying to fire people he is directly prohibited by law from firing and the Supreme Court using a thing called a “Shadow Docket” finds that the President can do pretty much what he wants in spite of the clear English language meaning of the law.
So, the government is in a real way crazy right now.
But people dying because of this craziness? Not just dying but dying when we have the vaccines to prevent it? Are you sure that these people should be allowed to go this far?
You know and I know that this is madness.
Once, we’ve come to agreement on the fact that these people are crazy, we arrive at a new problem.
What are we going to do about it?
Right now we can vaccinate a large proportion of the population against the latest version of COVID. Kennedy has limited those vaccinations to people over 65, a small proportion of the population that can be protected. COVID is infecting people right now in large numbers.
People are going to die who don’t need to die.
That offends me. Doesn’t that offend you?
What are we going to do?
How long can this government go on doing these kinds of things?
Below are a couple of news stories and some quote that relate to this story.
James Pilant
MIKE STOBBE writing for the Associated Press has an article that I have linked to below and quotes a few lines from.
When the White House fired Susan Monarez as director of the premier U.S. public health agency, it was clear to two of the scientific leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the political meddling would not end and it was time to quit.
“We knew … if she leaves, we don’t have scientific leadership anymore, ” one of the officials, Dr. Debra Houry, told The Associated Press on Thursday.
“We were going to see if she was able to weather the storm. And when she was not, we were done,” said Houry, one of at least four CDC leaders who resigned this week. She was the agency’s deputy director and chief medical officer.
And then I have this.
Sarah Fortinsky writing for The Hill in an article: Biden White House official on RFK: ‘This is wacky, flat-earth, voodoo stuff’
The health secretary (Kennedy) reflected on the children he’s encountered since arriving in Texas, saying at the event, “I know what a healthy child is supposed to look like.”
“I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today, as I walk down the street, and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, with inflammation,” Kennedy said.
“You can tell from their faces, from their body movements, and from their lack of social connection,” he continued. “And I know that that’s not how our children are supposed to look.”
This is the man in charge of the nation’s health. He believes that he can tell if a child is “overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, with inflammation” by looking at them. (My words, my emphasis.)
Well, not quite so many as 1.4 million, at least not yet. That is the implied number. There have been 414 reports of engine failure and these are significant. They imply that we could be looking at an endemic problems that is only now be revealed.
(Mythological beasts from a lower plane of Hell, that may also require a probe into their warranties.)
So, I give you my usual advice. That is – let the story and the investigations develop and over time the truth will be revealed.
Now, I must admit we live in strange times. Our current regime is very pro-corporation and this inquiry and its possible legal consequences could simply disappear.
You might say – “James, that is a horrible libel on our elected current regime. They wouldn’t sell their honor or the lives of their fellow Americans for money.” As of this date a very large number of investigations have already ceased, and in many more situations, the rules changed to favor industry. Even now selling or renting or drilling on the precious resource of the American people, public lands and our parks, has become more and more a reality.
Well, we will see what happens.
(But if the investigation is stopped or disappeared, I will report it on this site. jp)
In an article published in Reuters, entitled: US probes into more than 1.4 million Honda vehicles over engine failure, there seems to be some concern over faulty engines in Honda vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a probe into more than 1.4 million Honda vehicles sold in the United States over concerns that connecting rod bearing failures in their engines could lead to complete engine failure.
In a letter dated August 20, the regulator said it received 414 reports of the issue in various Honda and Acura vehicles’ 3.5-liter V6 engine.
…
The investigation covers 2018-2020 model year Acura TLX, 2016-2020 Acura MDX, 2016-2020 Honda Pilot, 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey, and 2017-2019 Honda Ridgeline vehicles.
In 2024, the agency probed 1.4 million Honda vehicles on reports of serious engine issues following the Japanese automaker recalling 249,000 vehicles in November 2023.
Let’s hope it is just a few engines.
What are the business ethics here? It is wrong to sell defective vehicles. Those who have made purchased by mischance such defective vehicles should be made whole by repairs, new vehicles or money damages. There is no need for an in-depth analysis of Shareholder rights or Corporate citizenship, our laws on defective sales are sufficient for this situation.
Elon Musk just canceled a spacecraft launch, settled a lawsuit over paying ex-twitter employees for what must have been at minimum hundreds of millions of dollars and federal judges in California and Maryland certified separate class action lawsuits against the carmaker and its CEO personally.
(An illustration from Dante descent into the nine planes of hell. It seems appropriate. JP)
But there is more, much more.
One of the reasons people buy particular models of car is the resale value. The idea that you might get back a high proportion of your purchase prize is a compelling one.
The resale price of a Tesla is collapsing, at least, according to Mike Taylor, writing for the Cool Down. He suggests the collapse might be do to the many controversies, some of them political, surrounding the controversial figure.
Mike Taylor writing for The Cool Down in article entitled: New report reveals stunning trend in used Tesla vehicle prices: ‘Quite exceptional’ reports that the value of used Teslas is collapsing.
The cost of a used Cybertruck has dropped the most over the last year: 30.4% to $83,963. The Model S is down 22.6% to $26,534, the Model X is down 16.8% to $37,747, and the Model Y is down 12% to $29,216. The most affordable offering is the Model 3, which is down 8% to $23,318.
“The fact that its average used car sale price would dip below the industry average, which includes inexpensive mass-market vehicles, is quite exceptional,” Electrek reported, noting used Tesla prices are down 4.6% year over year, while the market is up 1.2%.
Why is this important?
“It’s proof that the Tesla brand has taken a massive reputational hit and there’s no clear recovery in sight,” Electrek stated. (My emphasis. jp)
The other day I was reading an article in which Elon Musk claimed that if you want to be amazingly rich, all you have to do is work 120 hour weeks. I immediately discarded the nonsense classifying it as one of those ridiculous screeds where wealthy people attempt to appear virtuous against all actual evidence. (I will not link to it – if that kind of braggadocio is your cup of tea, you can look it up.)
However, we do have an insight into how he makes money from an investigation by CNN and discussed in an article from The Cool Down.
Cody Januszko writing for The Cool Down has an article entitled: Small businesses forced into bankruptcy after multimillion-dollar deal with Tesla: ‘It’s been horrible’
CNN’s recent investigation sheds new light on Tesla’s business practices. Many of the small businesses that Tesla contracted were not paid for their labor or products, forcing at least two of them into bankruptcy.
“It’s been horrible. If I didn’t have my family, I don’t think I would have made it,” Jennifer Meissner, one of the business owners who went bankrupt, said.
Unpaid contractors have filed liens against Musk’s companies. Liens are legal claims against property that allow a creditor to take the property if the debt isn’t paid.
CNN’s financial analysis shows that more than $110 million in liens have been filed against Tesla over the past five years, with a potential $24 million still owed.
It would appear to me that if you don’t pay your bills, you can accumulate a lot of money. These small businesses, at least the ones still surviving, are making legal claims against Tesla, so something about payments that is very bad is happening. Let us see what develops.
In international news surrounding the fellow, Elon Musk, we have this burst of disaster journalism. Musk’s AI, Grok, has been superseded in China by the local’s AI system. What do you think? Several hundred million in losses? That is just a guess. I would think providing an AI system for cars produced in China would be in the tens of billions of dollars but I might be mistaken.
Joe Wilkins writing for Futurism has an article entitled: Elon Musk Just Suffered a Humiliating Defeat in China
And now, more than a month after Musk promised to roll Grok out to Teslas “next week,” it turns out a Chinese AI model will be taking the chatbot’s place.
According to Bloomberg, Tesla’s Chinese division is planning to introduce in-car voice assistance via DeepSeek and Bytedance’s AI models at some point in the near future.
It would seem that the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune are falling with intensity upon Musk and his empire. Of course, there are many critics who might find the barrage just and fair. Well, there are a lot of points of view out there.
What are the business ethics issues here? Corporate citizenship would be a good call. Tesla does not seem interested in paying taxes or benefiting the nation to whom it owes so much.
Of course, we could do Stakeholder analysis. The government, it could be argued always seems to come up on the short end of the stick on these deals with Elon Musk, — cars, spacecraft and DOGE all seem a bit problematic. What about the American People? Elon Musk seems to me more of a well paid parasite than any kind of benefit. But we could do the full shareholder analysis. How would we classify Elon Musk with his enormous wealth and powerful connections purchased for many millions of dollars? Would we call him a Super Stakeholder? His needs seem at times to outweigh citizens, nations and economic systems. All these appear as little more than pawns to our class of oligarchs.
Sometimes, it seems like we are reading a new and cruel version of the Iliad and the Odyssey where the gods of Greek mythology walk the earth and interfere with the destinies of men. These billionaires seem every bit as capricious as Hera and Zeus, and their depredations are equally cruel.
We cannot escape reading about these people, however godlike they think they are. The news will continue to roll in.
Let us see what happens to him and his empire next week. I’m sure it will be interesting.
A few days ago, there was an attack on the CDC by a gunman. Our current regime hardly bothered to take note but the CDC is home to scientists and highly professional experts in their fields. These are the dregs of humanity in the eyes of our oligarch managed masses of barely literate malcontents currently occupying the highest offices in Washington. And so, the shooting did not trouble our government.
But those who have spent their lives working to protect and improve the lives of all Americans resent being shot at by crazy people and disparaged by their current “leadership.” That is not surprising. What is also not surprising is that they are publicizing their discontent.
They have published a signed letter demanding change and one of the changes is for Kennedy to stop spreading misinformation.
That first paragraph quoted from the letter found below is a mountain of eloquence and it may find its way into the future history books once we escape the clutches of the current regime.
(A picture from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes showing Sherlock and a criminal.)
Below is a report from Time magazine entitled Hundreds of Public Health Workers Call on RFK Jr. to ‘Stop Spreading Inaccurate Health Information’ After CDC Shooting written by Chantelle Lee.
“The attack came amid growing mistrust in public institutions, driven by politicized rhetoric that has turned public health professionals from trusted experts into targets of villainization—and now, violence,” public health workers said in the letter, which was also addressed to members of Congress. “CDC is a public health leader in America’s defense against health threats at home and abroad. When a federal health agency is under attack, America’s health is under attack. When the federal workforce is not safe, America is not safe.”
The public health workers went on to accuse Kennedy, a prominent vaccine skeptic, of being “complicit in dismantling America’s public health infrastructure and endangering the nation’s health by repeatedly spreading inaccurate health information.” They cited several statements and actions that Kennedy has made in recent months, pointing to his claim that mRNA vaccines “fail to protect effectively” against upper respiratory infections such as COVID-19—despite years of research showing that the shots are both safe and effective—and his announcement that HHS would be winding down mRNA vaccine development. They also condemned his decision to remove all the experts from a critical vaccine advisory committee. And they said some of Kennedy’s past comments—such as claiming that there is a “cesspool of corruption at CDC”—were “sowing public mistrust” in the health agency.
Will Kennedy stop spreading lies and misinformation? Don’t be ridiculous! In this administration, lies and misinformation constitute the very core of their being. They are living evidence of an accumulation of half assed beliefs, ill formulated concepts and huge masses of things they would like to be true but aren’t. He isn’t going to change. He owes his office to craven subservience to the “great” leader.
What are the ethics here?
These aren’t hard calls. The health care workers who have labored long and with amazing success to protect all Americans are heroes.
Right now they are being lambasted for doing their jobs. Many, a great many, are right now being fired in the name of “efficiency.” This government’s idea of efficiency is the destruction of a government that works and not just that but an embrace of a radical anti-science, anti-rational, belief system more befitting a basement dwelling conspiracy theorist than a working 21st Century government. It is all such a damned shame.
What is happening is wrong to the very center of the bone. There is not rational defense for what the government is doing.
When will this end? When will good, competent people return to rule?
Well, we will see if we can ride these horrors out.
The modern world has many hazards. Some of them are well known like e-coli and forever chemicals. But from time to time something news comes out to threaten our existence and today we have a new one, that is, radioactive shrimp.
Let us have a look at a news article reporting on this new threat. In a posting, an essay written by Richard Hall and Rebecca Schneid reports the following.
The Food and Drug Administration has warned the public not to consume certain frozen shrimp products sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.
It said the warning affects the Great Value brand of raw frozen shrimp sold at the superstore, adding that anyone who purchased the products should dispose of them.
A statement from the agency said the FDA was “actively investigating reports of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) contamination in shipping containers and frozen shrimp products” shipped from Indonesia.
(This is an illustration from one of Mark Twain’s travel books published in he 19th Century. We may presume in the current situation that he is retreating from radioactive shrimp. jp)
The article does a good job of explaining what industrial uses are made of Cesium-137 which is good substantial reporting but gives no clue as to how the shipping containers from Indonesia got contaminated.
It seems to me that in the future Wal-Mart might do radioactive checks on incoming goods. An Internet shows that radiation detection devices are quite inexpensive and readily available. In fact, Wal-Mart itself has a good variety of the devices which it sells online.
This incident is a rebuke to those that claim government is an unnecessary burden. Without the FDA and the US Customs and Border Patrol, we would never have known we were in any danger.
The struggle between Progressives and Corporate Democrats currently rages.
We live in what is often described as a free enterprise system, loftily described as free market. However, any examination reveals that we don’t do much free marketing in this country. There are many barriers to economic entry, a host of monopolistic segments of the economy, a horde of anti-capitalist non compete agreements and the list goes on an on. And then, of course, we could talk about a litany of economic villains evading the free market using government subsidies, tax breaks and regulatory capture besides the constant illegal dumping of pollutants, tax evasion and direct law breaking.
It is a wonder that you can look around at the American Business landscape and wonder how any intelligent human being could describe it as a free market.
But they do.
And now we come to the idea of a government, in this case, a city run grocery store. Shouldn’t we depend of the free market for groceries and much else?
Yeah, that would seem to be the general rule.
But what if capitalism, the free market, isn’t functioning correctly? One of the tenets of the free market is that when there is a need, the free market will adroitly jump in and fill it. Many people especially economists who are very often paid to maintain a fierce defense of free market principles. That is, they get paid to write free market propaganda and they often owe their jobs to the contributions and influence of the corporate elites and our corrupt and incompetent ruling class.
The truth of the matter, the facts of the matter, is that the free market fails on a regular bases in many areas of need and of necessity and generally speaking the powers that be don’t care.
Many parts of New York are “food deserts.” Large areas with no access within a reasonable distance to buy nourishing food.
Zohran Mamdani wants to change that. He wants to create number of stores where residents of the city can buy good food and a wide variety of food for themselves and their families. He wants to step in act on behalf of his constituents, the people of New York. He wants to help protect them from malnutrition and make sure they have a healthy diet. He wants the people of his city and their children to live long and fruitful lives.
Working for the people that elected you instead of your corporate donors is a very radical idea in the Democratic Party. And Mamdani has attracted the ire of what are very kindly called Corporate Democrats. I prefer other descriptive terms.
Is it a good idea? I think it probably is but as a man of some experience a lot depends on how the program is done, and the quality of the people creating and running it.
When I was a young man, I often wondered why a great program worked at the original site but no one could duplicate it. And then I understood. One visionary leader with capability and confidence can take what in hindsight is a not very good idea and make a roaring success of it. I’ve seen it done. Leadership and energy determine many things in this nation.
This sounds like a good idea. And when you have an innovative idea and young and energetic people willing to run it, it stands a good chance of success.
For a more in-depth view of this city run grocery idea, here is an essay linked to below.
In an article entitled: Here is everything you need to know about New York experimenting with city-run grocery stores, author Katalin Nagy discusses the Mayoral candidates idea for city run grocery stores.
In a recent interview with News 12 New York, Mamdani outlined the vision for a pilot program that would include launching one store in each of the city’s five boroughs. He also mentions that the plan would potentially be supported by $60 million in public funding.
These stores would be strategically placed in areas known as “food deserts.” These are neighborhoods where access to affordable, fresh groceries is scarce. The stores would primarily sell essential items at wholesale prices to help counter rising food costs.
Mamdani’s proposal is designed as a public option for groceries that would frame access to healthy food as a basic right. In campaign videos and public comments, Mamdani has stated that these stores would operate like a civic institution, similar to a fire station or public library, and would ideally eliminate middlemen to lower grocery prices.
Zohran Mamdani might be one of those leaders we so desperately need to replace the old tired face of the Democrats and to lead a better America where the wants and needs of the people come first.
Corporations find democracy at the very least inconvenient but in Missouri, the will of the people is not a problem. Pesky voters with weird ideas that would cost corporations money can be brought to heel with astonishing ease.
(We, the American people, suffer from unfettered corporate power. May vengeance live amongst us and justice return.)
In Missouri, corporate power clearly seen to undo and reverse democracy. Before I get into the details, let us discuss the right and wrong of it.
Why am I discussing this in a business ethics blog? Because it is wrong for corporations to run the government be it city, county, state or federal. “We the People of the United States,” in the preamble of the United States Constitution enshrines in law the power of the citizens, not corporate or monopoly power or even worse, our newly minted oligarchs.
The people of Missouri voted for paid time off for illness or illness in the family like that of a child. It wasn’t a narrow win, it was a big margin. The people had spoken.
But the legislature and the governor nullified the will of the people. Can you think of a sadder sentence? The men elected to do the will of the people, at the very least, the very least protect them. And they failed. They directly defied the expressed will of the people of their state.
It was evil and wrong of the legislature and the governor to do this. In a democracy the people rule. But not in Missouri.
The corporations and businesses that defeated the people’s will are in the wrong and they should suffer fro what they did. But the Republican super majority in the legislature protect them from the repercussions of their pitifully evil acts.
But there are currents in the lives of men, and the haughty attitude of the bought (should I say “rental”) men in the Republican Party will get their comeuppance in time.
Are there good people in Missouri who will not stand idly by and take this injustice? Where are the heroes who would reverse this evil act? Time will tell if they appear.
Here is the story from my friends at the Progressive Magazine authored by Eleanor J. Bader.
When 58 percent of Missouri voters approved Proposition A in November 2024, they assumed that the ballot measure’s passage would finally grant private sector workers the ability to take paid time off when they were sick or needed to care for an ailing family member. But they were wrong.
Although the paid sick leave policy took effect on May 1, 2025, allowing workers in companies with fifteen or more employees to earn one hour of paid leave for every thirty hours worked, the state’s Republican-dominated legislature opted to override the popular vote and overturn key parts of the measure just two weeks later. Governor Mike Kehoe signed the repeal into law on July 10.
