New York's COVID vaccine executive order will essentially allow all New Yorkers, regardless of age or underlying conditions, to receive a COVID vaccine at any pharmacy, despite greater restrictions at federal level.
It is active for 30 days, allowing time for more permanent legislation to be passed.

One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review.

Un passo indietro nel tempo che sembra una prova di forza del presidente a pochi giorni dalla maxi-parata militare della Cina: il cambio di nome appare infatti motivato dalla voglia del tycoon di mostrare i muscoli agli avversari confermando e rafforzando, nelle sue intenzioni, il dominio militare americano.
come diceva il vecchio Henry Ford senior: "Giovanotto: se Γ¨ costretto in continuazione a mostrare quel che vale, ebbene vuol dire che sono convinti che Lei non valga nulla!"

I dont know what to say. Hyundai is building a 15 billion dollar battery plant in Georgia.
ICE just raided the plants and arrested over 400 people, including executives from LG, who not only make more than half of the TV screens in the US, but automotive batteries.
This is an ongoing racist crisis, and news reports will be covering this for weeks, but at least 30 Koreans were seized.
(Korea is a democracy who had a President try a coup. He was impeached. He refused to leave. Koreans occupied the streets and the country shut down. President taken from offices, arrested, new President elected.
Just saying, this ICE action is even more embarrassing than it looks, and wow, this is crazy with added LSD)
in other countries like UK, if a medium/large business is one that is likely to have many immigrant workers, the HR department has to check the staff's documents and notify the immigration authority, so it would be very difficult for a business of that size to amass sufficient undocumented workers to warrant a heavy raid. But that does of course require investing in a reasonably well resourced public sector, which USA govt seems loath to do..
That happens in the US too. That's not the issue. Except for maybe the fact that in the USA we hold poor people accountable but not corporations, so only arrest the immigrants and not the executives.
Everyone knows that medium/large companies (especially in more dangerous/harsher conditions, like meat plants) hire undocumented workers en masse and purposefully cover it up, because they know they can get away with treating the workers worse since they are not protected by labour laws.
We don't (didn't) do mass sweeps because of how many essential workers are undocumented, it would cause massive disruptions in our food supply. We have had the capability, especially given the funding the US dedicates towards information gathering and "security".
But we know how much harm it would do to remove over 10 million workers, so we haven't. And then businesses have enjoyed having workers that are unprotected by labour laws, so we haven't legalized them either.
Letting businesses accrue large numbers of undocumented workers has not been due to lack of governmental funding or capability, and the raids now are about racism and attacking political opponents.
