What Makes a Society More Resilient? Frequent Hardship.
  + stars: | 2024-05-01 | by ( Carl Zimmer | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Traditionally, historians have studied these downturns qualitatively, by diving into the twists and turns of individual societies. In a study published Wednesday, these methods allowed Dr. Riris and his colleagues to answer a profound question: Why are some societies more resilient than others? The study, published in the journal Nature, compared 16 societies scattered across the world, in places like the Yukon and the Australian outback. The more often a society went through them, the more resilient it eventually became. “Over time, you will suffer less, essentially,” said Dr. Riris, an archaeologist at Bournemouth University in England.

The weeklong Koyukon Athabascan burial ceremony in September was traditional in all ways but one: McCormick died in 1931. The 2,500-mile (4,000 km) journey ended at Morningside Hospital. For more than 15 years, volunteers in Fairbanks and in Portland have been working to identify the people who were committed to the hospital. Most records at the private hospital were lost in a 1968 fire, and territorial officials didn’t document those who were committed. McCormick died within weeks from a post-surgery infection.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Dallas Seavey overcame killing a moose and receiving a time penalty to win the Iditarod on Tuesday, a record-breaking sixth championship in the world’s most famous sled dog race. However, he was ultimately given a two-hour time penalty because he only spent 10 minutes gutting the moose, officials said. Race officials disqualified Burke on Feb. 19. But the state of Alaska then dropped charges alleging he choked his then-girlfriend in 2022, and the Iditarod Trail Committee reinstated him. The committee also disqualified Sass without explanation, other than pointing to a rule governing personal and professional conduct, and race officials refused to discuss it during a media briefing ahead of the race.

Leslie Redmond, 37, moved to Winnipeg, Canada, from Alaska in 2022. There's a really big Ukrainian population and a really big Polish population. So there are a lot of flavors and foods that are really ubiquitous up here that I wouldn't have had in the States. That was the case across Canada — and across the US — but I think that's kind of slowed down a little bit now. I would say Winnipeg is pretty equivalent to Alaska, but Alaska is higher than what you would find in the lower 48.

A vegan diet differs from a vegetarian diet in that it eliminates not only animal flesh but dairy, eggs or any other ingredient derived from animals. In each pair, one twin was assigned a vegan diet, while the other was assigned an omnivore diet. “I feel like a lot of people who do a vegan diet think ‘Oh great, soda is vegan. Cutting back on eating meat and animal byproducts can be done slowly, bit by bit. Harvard’s Hu agreed: “While this study showed a vegan diet may provide additional advantages compared to a healthy omnivorous diet, it does not mean that everyone should become a vegan or vegetarian.

Judge Arthur Engoron sided with Donald Trump’s attorneys, overruling an objection from the New York attorney general’s office to admit a PowerPoint presentation showcasing the history of the Trump Organization. The presentation, titled “The Trump story,” also included photos of Donald Trump with his father, Fred Trump, as well as sleek photos of various Trump buildings. The PowerPoint included Trump's purchase of Mar-a-Lago in 1985, which Trump Jr. described as "one of the few sort of American castles." Assistant Attorney General Kevin Wallace objected to the presentation, claiming the text descriptions were coaching the witness. The judge has also sided with Trump's lawyers during the trial, but this signals the judge is going to give a lot of leeway to both sides in their presentation.

UAW union members have been striking over job security and pay as automakers push forward in developing EV’s, which require fewer workers and cost more in raw materials. So what does that mean for the future of auto workers and the union? Illustration: George Downs/The Wall Street JournalThe United Auto Workers expanded its strike against Detroit’s automakers with a walkout at one of General Motors ’ largest and most profitable factories, marking the second straight day of escalation by the union. About 5,000 unionized workers walked out of GM’s Arlington, Texas, assembly plant Tuesday morning, the union said. The plant makes several large sport-utility vehicles, including the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade, which are GM’s highest-profit-margin vehicles globally.

GM earnings rise despite strike
  + stars: | 2023-10-24 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
The company’s earnings per share rose to $2.28, up from $2.25, in the past quarter. The company said that the strike cost it $200 million in its first two weeks of the quarter. The UAW has been on strike against GM as well as rivals Ford and Stellantis since September 15. The targeted strike started with work stoppages at one assembly plant for each of the automakers and 12,700 on strike but has grown since then. There are now more than 40,000 autoworkers on strike, with 9,200 members on strike at GM alone.

DETROIT – The United Auto Workers union on Tuesday expanded its strike against General Motors to a highly profitable full-size SUV plant in Texas — a swift response to healthy profits and record third-quarter revenue for the automaker. The walkout came just hours after the automaker reported third-quarter earnings results that beat Wall Street's expectations. As we've said for months: record profits equal record contracts," said UAW President Shawn Fain in a statement. Fain's claims of record results for the automaker reference record third-quarter revenue, according to the union. The automaker disclosed in its quarterly update that the UAW strike has already cost it $800 million in lost production — prior to the Arlington disruption — including $200 million during the third quarter.

The UAW said another 5,000 workers are going on strike, bringing the total number of UAW members on strike at the Big Three automakers to over 45,000, on day 40 of the strike. The workers took the strike to Arlington Assembly, home to some of GM's most profitable vehicles, the Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade. The union's strategy of targeted strikes has throttled billions in revenue for the Detroit Three while requiring fewer than half the 150,000 UAW members at the companies to forgo pay and walk picket lines. "It's time GM workers, and the whole working class, get their fair share." But he told UAW members "there is more to be won".

CNN —The United Auto Workers union took its most serious shot yet at General Motors in its five-week old strike as 5,000 members walked off the job at a plant in Texas. Arlington Assembly builds GM’s very profitable full-size SUVs, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade. The targeted strike at GM’s largest plant comes just hours after the company reported third quarter earnings, which grew last quarter despite the strike. It’s time GM workers, and the whole working class, get their fair share,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “GM’s latest offer fails to reward UAW members for the profits they’ve generated,” said the union’s statement.

GM agreed to have the workers at its future EV battery plants be covered by the national labor agreement governing other UAW members at GM, Fain said, after the UAW threated an expansion of the strike to a GM plant in Arlington, Texas, that assembles the company’s full-sized SUVs. GM has in the past insisted that workers in battery facilities are not GM employees, since the plants are run by joint ventures it has with Asian battery companies. Then on September 29 the UAW declined to expand the strike against Stellantis, once again citing progress in talks, but added a strike against one assembly plant each at GM and Ford. The union has said all along it stood ready to expand the strike to increase pressure on the companies. Fain described the Arlington plant “GM’s biggest money maker.”“It was that threat that brought GM to the table,” he said.

UAW President Shawn Fain plans to update the union's 150,000 members at Ford, General Motors (GM.N) and Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLAM.MI) on Friday, a person briefed on the union's plans said. In addition to Ford, talks with Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLAM.MI) and other automakers and the UAW have been active in recent days, sources said. Ford Chief Financial Officer John Lawler said Friday the automaker's retirement offer would assure UAW workers could retire with $1 million in savings. The targeted strike against the Detroit Three automakers began on Sept. 15 and is now in its 20th day. Rival Ford Motor (F.N) secured a $4 billion line of credit in August, ahead of the Sept. 14 UAW contract expiration.

The strike cost at GM reflects 16 days in which production was stopped at one GM assembly plant, a mid-size pickup truck and van factory in Wentzville, Missouri. The UAW ordered a strike at a GM SUV assembly plant in Lansing, Michigan, on Sept. 29. Against that backdrop, GM said in a securities filing that it has locked in a new, $6-billion line of credit through October 2024. The additional liquidity will require GM to maintain at least $4 billion in global liquidity and $2 billion in U.S. liquidity. Rival Ford Motor (F.N) secured a new $4 billion line of credit in August.
