Excerpt via the US Department of Labor:

“While independent contractors have an important role in our economy, we have seen in many cases that employers misclassify their employees as independent contractors, particularly among our nation’s most vulnerable workers,” said Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh. “Misclassification deprives workers of their federal labor protections, including their right to be paid their full, legally earned wages. The Department of Labor remains committed to addressing the issue of misclassification.”

Specifically, the proposed rule would do the following:

Align the department’s approach with courts’ FLSA interpretation and the economic reality test.
Restore the multifactor, totality-of-the-circumstances analysis to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor under the FLSA.
Ensure that all factors are analyzed without assigning a predetermined weight to a particular factor or set of factors.
Revert to the longstanding interpretation of the economic reality factors. These factors include the investment, control and opportunity for profit or loss factors. The integral factor, which considers whether the work is integral to the employer’s business, is also included.
Assist with the proper classification of employees and independent contractors under the FLSA.
Rescind the 2021 Independent Contractor Rule.

Aug 23 (Reuters) - A former Louisville detective is expected to plead guilty on Tuesday to helping to falsify a search warrant that led to the killing of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman whose death fueled a wave of protests over police violence against people of color.

The former officer, Kelly Goodlett, is scheduled to appear at 1 p.m. (1700 GMT) before U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings in a federal court in Louisville, Kentucky. She is expected to be arraigned and to enter her plea…

Federal prosecutors also charged Jaynes and current Sergeant Kyle Meany with civil rights violations and obstruction of justice for using false information to obtain the search warrant. A fourth officer, former Detective Brett Hankison, was charged with civil rights violations for allegedly using excessive force.

How the gun charge was dropped (I just started legal studies so correct me if I'm wrong).

While Wisconsin law calls for the prohibition of firearm possession by anyone under 18, a loophole based on adult supervision or the size of a particular firearm allows killers like Kyle Rittenhouse to avoid any form of accountability.

In terms of the potential food shortage crisis, US Congressional Agriculture Committee Chair, David Scott, stated the following "We do not have a food shortage, but the supply is in the hands of our truck drivers.".

The comment was made at a recent hearing on the challengesto the nation's food supply chain. As of today, 80,000 commercial truck drivers are needed to fulfill supply orders.

Excerpt via Forbes Magazine:
The American Trucking Association says the industry is about 80,000 drivers short to “optimally meet current freight demand.” The trade organization says the shortage pre-dates the Covid-19 pandemic but only grew more severe after it started.

In a report titled “Supply Chain Watch,” the ATA attributes the shortage to factors such as retirements in an aging workforce, a high number of current and prospective drivers failing drug tests and a small percentage of female drivers.

But Marc El Khoury, a trucking industry veteran, boils it down to two factors. “Having worked in trucking we know why turnover happens—not paid enough, not home enough,” he told Forbes.com.”

“We don’t even know if she actually entered the park or not. We know she used to come here once in a while, and the deli that she went to was only about three blocks away from here,” Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura said.

The sheriff says another reason they searched the body of water is because people have been found there in the past.

Saturday’s search yielded no sign of Jashyah or any of her belongings….

Jashyah’s mom, Jamie Moore, last saw her daughter after she picked up a few items from the store in their neighborhood. She lost her mother’s card and went back to retrace her steps…

Authorities say there is footage of an older man buying items for her at the deli, but he has been identified and has been helpful.
