Above Photo: Elvert Barnes. New York City’s 65,000+ food delivery workers were celebrated as essential workers throughout the pandemic. But according to a damning new study, they aren’t actually being treated that way—instead, they routinely earn low wages well below New York’s minimum wage, lack basic labor and employment protections, and face dangerous working conditions on the streets of NYC. The report released this week, which was conducted by advocacy group Worker’s Justice Project in partnership with Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, is a four-month-long survey (December 2020-April 2021) of 500 app-based workers throughout the five boroughs, many of whom work […]

Anadolu Agency/Getty Images As Election Day nears, Facebook and Twitter are finding themselves in a Catch- 22, between conservatives who accuse them of stifling free speech when they block or put warning labels on questionable posts, and others who say the companies need to do more to stamp out online misinformation and conspiracy theories. “Nineteen days before voting closes in the 2020 election, I believe we are more vulnerable to online […]
(CNN)Caroline Giuliani, the daughter of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, is urging Americans to “end this nightmare” by voting for Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris. In a piece for Vanity Fair published Thursday, she called on voters to end Trump’s “reign of terror” and “elect a compassionate and decent president.” “I may not be able to change my father’s mind, but together, we can vote this toxic administration out of office,” Giuliani, who has publicly supported Democratic candidates in past presidential elections, wrote. “U.S. intelligence agencies believed that Rudy Giuliani […]
With only some 2,500 of BP’s global workforce accepting a golden handshake to leave voluntarily, the balance of the 10,000 lay-offs announced by CEO Bernard Looney in June as part of ‘greening’ the oil giant will be made based on staff performance ratings. Three-quarters of the 10,000 staff set to be laid off worldwide by oil giant BP will have no say in the matter, it has emerged. BP confirmed to Reuters on Friday that only around 2,500 staff had volunteered for redundancy under the plans announced in June by new Chief Executive Bernard Looney.

Las Vegas is known as the world’s boxing capital and has been host to many of history’s biggest fights. Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather have all fought in the “boxing mecca”. If 2020 were any normal year the match-up between Ukrainian-born Vasyl Lomachenko and Honduran-American Teofimo Lopez would be a huge spectacle with thousands of boxing fans cramming into the 20,000-seater MGM Grand arena. But on Saturday, 17 October, only a few hundred spectators – first responders from Nevada with special invitations – will be at ringside, socially distanced, in what is known as The Bubble. […]
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden suggested that children as young as eight-years-old should be allowed to change their gender identity if they decide they “want to be transgender.” The comment came on Thursday night at an election town hall hosted by ABC News, where a woman who said one of her two daughters is transgender asked Biden what he would do to protect LGBTQ rights. The former vice president said, “I will flat out just change the law.” He then told a story about seeing two gay men kissing each other and being told by his father, “Joey, it’s simple, they […]
Profits for the second-largest carrier in the US have plummeted amid the ongoing pandemic due to a steep decrease in passenger demand, it was stated during the firm’s third quarter reports. United Airlines has reported adjusted losses per share of $8.16 compared to $4.07 last year, much lower than estimated of $7.53, Smarter Analyst reported on Thursday. According to the Chicago-based carrier, the airline’s average daily cash burn was $25m in Q3, down from $40m in the second quarter, due to a 59 percent reduction in operating costs. But revenues fell 78.1 percent year-on-year to $2.49bn, falling short of estimates of […]
Is it a desperate last roll of the dice or the confident declaration of a woman poised to assume power? Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the runner-up in the disputed Belarusian election, considerably upped the ante with a bold warning. The exiled former candidate, who believes the contest was rigged to prevent her from claiming victory, has announced that the opposition she aspires to lead from her Lithuanian exile intends to move to more active measures in two weeks’ time, if her demands are not met.

The Spanish government has passed decrees to tackle wage inequality between genders, and warned it will impose hefty fines on companies who fail to disclose the salaries of their employees. The new regulations are “historical,” Labor Minister Yolanda Diaz said, adding that they will help to “bring to the surface labor inequalities and give workers the tools to eliminate them.” A law on gender equality in the workplace was approved earlier this year, and Socialist and far-left ministers in the coalition government on Tuesday passed two decrees detailing the legislation. Companies will now have to disclose the system they use to […]

The putrid political opportunism and stinking dollops of hypocrisy from the likes of arch Tory unionist and principle-free Ruth Davidson will have convinced hundreds of thousands even more that the crucial Scottish Parliament election in seven months’ time will be a day of reckoning for these parliamentary imposters.

By Lauren Weber and Katheryn Houghton | Kaiser Health News While the president and vice president forgo masks at rallies, the White House is quietly encouraging governors to implement mask mandates and, for some, enforce them with fines. In reports issued to governors on Sept. 20, the White House Coronavirus Task Force recommended statewide mask mandates in Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma. The weekly memos, some of which have been made public by the Center for Public Integrity, advocate mask usage for other states and have even encouraged doling out fines in Alaska, Idaho and, recently, Montana.

The Palestinian uprising in the early 2000s claimed the lives of more than a thousand Israelis as well as thousands of Palestinians. Could such a scenario unfold again, 20 years after the so-called second Intifada? A former IDF colonel is highly doubtful this will play out. As Palestinian anger with the historic agreements inked between Israel, Bahrain, and the UAE earlier this month continues to grow, reports have emerged that a third Intifada, or a popular uprising, is just around the corner.

The district attorney’s office for the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, has suggested in new court filings that US President Donald Trump could be the subject of a tax fraud probe, as “mountainous” public allegations of misconduct exist regarding 45 and his businesses.

The advantage of a machine-washable face mask is being able to properly clean it without much hassle. The problem is that face masks are small, and much like delicate pieces like bras and underwear, can get destroyed by other garments in the wash.

A mesh laundry bag is perfect for keeping your delicates from getting tangled around your laundry as it tumbles and tussles in the machine.

I’ve tried masks with ties, masks with a nose wire, pleated masks, contoured masks, mask clips. You name it, I’ve tried it. But what I’ve come to realize is that any old face masks just will not work on my smaller, narrower face.

The co-founder of Trump fansite The Federalist took to Twitter Wednesday to share a lengthy screed against wearing face masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus, ostensibly from a doctor. As the U.S. nears 5 million confirmed coronavirus infections and tops 157,000 deaths, Sean Davis retweeted claims that have already been repeatedly debunked. The Federalist enjoys the ear of a number of conservative politicians who have written for the outlet and praised its coronavirus coverage publicly despite its repeated promotion of misinformation. In June, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said, “The Federalist is an essential, transparent news media outlet that publishes […]

This Antifog Spray looks like it was made specifically for snorkeling or swimming goggles, but it works the same way with your glasses. It’s easy to use— just spritz some onto your glasses, and that’s it. This formula […]

As a frequent product and apparel reviewer, I test out a fair amount of gear in any given year. During the steaming catastrophe that is the year 2020, much of that gear has been non-medical face masks. I’ve now tried out close to a dozen different reusable cloth face masks, and in my non-medical opinion, most of them suck. From ear loops so snug they seem designed for a marmoset, to cloth that bunches up and slips off the nose, to masks with gaps so large at their sides a murder hornet could pass through, not to mention virus-laden aerosol droplets […]
Face masks are the new norm. They are an accessory you can’t leave your house without, just like your wallet, keys, and in the summer, sunglasses. And while we’ve rounded up and recommended plenty of our favorite ones, I recently came across a way to improve my overall face mask wearing experience. One of the biggest issues I run into is I keep losing my face masks. Or, I take it off and have to put it in my pocket when I’m not wearing it. Another complaint is that the elastic hurts people’s ears, giving them migraines if they wear it […]

What I’ve noticed lately about wearing face masks is that I find myself critiquing every part of it. At first, I just dealt with a mask that only kind of fit my face.

I knew I needed to find a mask that worked on all levels: comfort, style, and safety. For all-day wear, I knew I could count on my BAGGU mask, because of how comfortable […]
