And that brings me to the second missing ingredient in the briefs supporting Rahimi: the Second Amendment itself. That is not surprising, the Cato brief notes, because when Section 922(g)(8) was enacted, there was no recognized right to individual gun ownership in the first place. to be deprived through such minimal process.”Other briefs in support of Mr. Rahimi take issue with the nature of protective orders themselves. When I first read Judge Ho’s opinion, I regarded it as an odd digression from the matter at hand, namely how to interpret and apply the Second Amendment. Does even this trigger-happy Supreme Court want to be seen as stripping from women in mortal danger from their intimate partners whatever safety this 29-year-old law has provided?

On Sunday, Israel declared war and began implementing a siege of Gaza, cutting off access to power, food, water and fuel. At least 10% decided to take him up on that offer, he told CNBC, and he believes more will do so in the coming weeks. Even during war, much of Israel's tech community is still finding a way to push forward, according to Ben-Aroya and a handful of other members of the tech community CNBC spoke with. "Everyone is covering for each other," Ratzon told CNBC. Of digital bank One Zero's almost 450 employees — all based in Israel — about 10% were drafted for reserve duty, CEO Gal Bar Dea told CNBC.

So it's no wonder that through the past couple of years, working on and around private credit deals has become Wall Street's career du jour. Private credit is most often floating-rate debt — that is, debt where interest rates rise in concert with rate hikes. 'Unheard of' salaries, while risks abound in the marketIt's worth noting what private credit is: we're talking about debt and loans. "For most of my career, attracting new attorneys to private credit was a challenge. Proskauer's private credit group now has 90 lawyers, 24 of whom are partners, working full-time on private credit.

☆ Americans are being pinched by rising prices and grueling debt - and the pain isn't going away soon, analyst says
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( Theron Mohamed | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Higher prices and interest rates are pressuring consumers and companies, Stephanie Pomboy says. Meanwhile, businesses are suffering a "migraine" in the form of higher debt costs, the Macro Mavens founder and president said. She pointed to the pressure on consumer spending, the limited supply of labor, and striking workers raising companies' costs by driving up wages and securing settlements. Inflation surged to a 40-year high of 9.1% last summer, spurring the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates from nearly zero to north of 5.25% today — a 22-year high. Higher rates can ease upward pressure on prices by encouraging saving over spending, hiring, and investing.

☆ Illegal child labor on the rise with nationwide violations found, Labor Department says

JBS has said that they do not tolerate child labor and that they would stop using PSSI at every location where the child labor violations were alleged to have occurred. In addition, the Wage and Hour Division of the Labor Department is currently pursuing more than 700 open child labor cases. Officials at the Labor Department emphasized in a press call this week that the increase in child labor violation findings is partially due to “significantly enhanced child labor enforcement efforts” in recent months. The fight to weaken child labor lawsThe Department of Labor on Thursday said its interagency task force on child labor has begun cross-training with other governmental agencies like Health and Human Services and the Office of Refugee Resettlement to identify and report possible incidences of child labor exploitation. But at the same time that violations of child labor protections are rising, states across the country are introducing legislation to weaken child labor laws.

We met a big leaf magnolia, which produces the largest flowers of any deciduous tree in North America. Its blooms, as big as my head, smelled like a warm Southern evening. It is an ancient species, having evolved 95 million years ago, long before bees existed. Osage oranges evolved in tandem with the giant ground sloths that roamed the earth some 80 million years ago and considered its fruit a delicacy; the sloths died out about 10,000 years ago. It’s one of his favorite trees in the arboretum.

☆ Look at What John Roberts and His Supreme Court Have Wrought Over 18 Years - The New York Times

The justices have simply replaced Chevron’s rule of judicial deference with its polar opposite, a new rule that goes by the name of the major questions doctrine. But how to tell a major question from an ordinary one? The Heller decision in 2008 opened the Second Amendment door a crack, granting individuals the right to keep a handgun at home for self-defense. The question in the case is whether the Second Amendment allows the government to bar gun ownership by an individual under a restraining order for domestic violence. That the answer actually might be “no” — domestic violence wasn’t even a concept in the 18th century, when the Second Amendment was adopted — is too astonishing to contemplate.

I remember sitting in the dark when it flickered to an end, completely destroyed. I reread “The Lottery” every few years and have listened to many audio versions, none of which get the last line right in my opinion (the closest is Maureen Stapleton for The Caedmon Short Story Collection). When I first read the story it seemed fresh — was fresh, I suppose, only 23 years old. I was a kid when I first read “The Lottery,” and a weird kid at that.

Last week was a somber one in the world of letters. June 13 saw the death of the great novelist Cormac McCarthy, author of “All the Pretty Horses,” “No Country for Old Men” and “The Road,” among many other acclaimed books. On this week’s episode of the podcast, Gilbert Cruz talks with Dwight Garner about McCarthy’s work, and with Pamela Paul and Emily Eakin about Gottlieb’s life and legacy. “The two never worked together,” Cruz notes, “but it’s fascinating to imagine Gottlieb — who has argued with historian Robert Caro for half a century over punctuation marks — editing McCarthy, who rejected the use of quotation marks, semicolons and other such frippery. … I don’t know, maybe the two would have gotten along just fine.”We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review’s podcast in general.
