‘Lazy Girl Jobs’ Won’t Make Gen Z Less Anxious

Journal Editorial Report: The week's best and worst from Kim Strassel, Bill McGurn and Jason Riley. Images: Zuma Press/Invision/AP Composite: Mark KellyJust when you thought Gen Z couldn’t get more annoying, it has a new trend: Lazy Girl Jobs. According to a 20-something self-styled life coach on TikTok, this entails leaning into, no, not exciting and meaningful careers—take that, Sheryl Sandberg—but low-stress, mostly or completely remote jobs paying $60,000 to $80,000 so that you can enjoy lives of non-work-focused safety and comfort. She recommends looking for openings like “Marketing Associate” and “Customer Success Manager” and in one video declares (if one can declare anything in a monotone): “The whole point is for us to go live our lives and be amazing humans.”

He was looking for help with depression but also told his therapist that he was feeling frustrated after having lost out on a research fellowship. The patient, who was white, felt the reason was affirmative action. They argued that it would be unfair for a clinician of color to have to provide therapy to a “racist” patient.

Journal Editorial Report: The week's best and worst from Kim Strassel, Allysia Finley, Bill McGurn and Dan Henninger. Images: EPA/AP/PA/Reuters Composite: Mark KellyThe global-warming industry has declared that July 3 and 4 were the two hottest days on Earth on record. The reported average global temperature on those days was 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit, supposedly the hottest in 125,000 years. The claimed temperature was derived from the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, which relies on a mix of satellite temperature data and computer-model guesstimation to calculate estimates of temperature.

At Virginia Tech, that slogan applies to the school’s official Bias Intervention and Response Team, or BIRT. Hokies are encouraged to report one another’s ill-considered opinions or crass jokes. On May 31 the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to end this, but a dissent by veteran Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III is a persuasive signal flare for the Supreme Court to take the case and defend free speech.

The driver claimed to have been using the car’s full self-driving function, which appears to have malfunctioned. Complaints of “phantom braking” even when Teslas aren’t “self-driving” have been piling up too.

Another Kind of March Madness: Tell the NCAA to Buzz Off
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( William Mcgurn | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Final Four is upon us, and with it the fiction that National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball is an amateur competition. The NCAA has a vested interest in this fiction, because the bulk of its annual $1.14 billion in revenue comes from its March Madness tournament. Critics fall into two broad camps. The first complains that those generating the cash—the players—are the only ones who aren’t paid. The other argues that college sports has become a big business, corrupting our universities.
What’s the Matter With Arkansas?

Arkansas is “the reddest state not only in the South but in the entire nation.” So declared the chairman of the state GOP at the 2020 Republican National Convention, just before the Arkansas delegation cast its votes for Donald Trump. Arkansas went for Mr. Trump by nearly 2 to 1 in both 2016 and 2020. Both of its U.S. senators and all four representatives are Republicans. In November, Republicans added to their already comfortable majorities in the state House and Senate. In that same election, Sarah Huckabee Sanders trounced her Democratic opponent and was elected governor.

The Gaslighting of East Palestine

Ever since a Norfolk Southern train loaded with chemicals went off the rails in Ohio, residents of East Palestine have wondered if their home will ever be safe to live in again. On the one hand, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Ohio EPA and a private contractor hired by the railroad say the air and water are safe. On the other, residents are experiencing symptoms such as skin rashes and nausea, and there are thousands of dead fish in local streams. On top of this, some activists claim that authorities who say it is safe are covering up.

Will a Democrat Challenge Joe?
  + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( William Mcgurn | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Joe Biden is running. Though some have called on him not to seek re-election in 2024 for the good of the Democratic Party—including three New York Times columnists in the past week—most observers know what one of those columnists, Maureen Dowd , acknowledged: The 46th president is in no mood to listen. Democrats who want the president to step aside have good arguments, from polls showing most Democrats want someone else atop the 2024 ticket to legitimate fears about Mr. Biden’s health. But those arguments aren’t going anywhere. And they won’t so long as there is no Democrat willing to primary him.
