Here's the moment from Monday's hearing when Butzel-Long's attorney compared striking workers to domestic abusers.

This comparison is extremely deplorable and was stricken from the record following our lawyer's objection.

Thanks for noticing this @DanBuk4

An economist puts my book in the context of the debates among economists & anthropologists: "Where Jared Diamond saw “Guns, Germs, & Steel”, Nelson sees the perhaps somewhat less sexy trinity of mold, futures contracts, & dynamite."
(wait, what's sexier than a futures contract?)

@fightfor15 $15 is good but $20 is better! A living wage shouldn't be barely enough to live on. Is $15 enough to pay rent, support a family, and pay for healthcare?

@LeandraNessel At the Athens protest against the Muslim ban, some jerk drove by in a giant pickup yelling, "go back to where you came from." A protester yelled, "bless your heart," which made everyone crack up. After that, every time a driver yelled something nasty, everyone yelled it.
