Lexie Rizzo took on Starbucks. Now she's out of a job. Today, a look at the U.S. labor laws that are supposed to protect workers who are organizing unions.Read more:People describe Lexi Rizzo as a “coffee person.” She loves drinking coffee, talking about coffee. And she loved her job at Starbucks. She worked there for nearly eight years, until she got fired in March.Rizzo believes she was fired for being a union organizer. Rizzo joined the unionization efforts in 2021, when her Starbucks became one of the first three stores in the country to successfully unionize. In the past year, judges have ruled that Starbucks violated U.S. labor laws more than 130 times across six states, among the most of any private employer nationwide. The rulings found that Starbucks retaliated against union supporters by surveilling them at work, firing them and promising them improved pay and benefits if they rejected the organizing campaign. Starbucks founder and ex-CEO Howard Schulz has denied any wrongdoing – and remains confident that his company does not need a union for his employees to be happy. Greg Jaffe reports on Rizzo's case and examines the U.S. labor laws that are supposed to protect workers who are organizing unions.

Emma hosts Dan Canon, civil rights lawyer and professor at the University of Louisville, to discuss his recent book Pleading Out: How Plea Bargaining Creates a Permanent Criminal Class. Emma begins by running through the arrest of an Iranian citizen for planning an extrajudicial assassination attempt against John Bolton, extrajudicial assassination expert, and Rudy Giuliani assures the public that Donald Trump is actually happier and more secure than ever. Then she's joined by Professor Dan Canon as he walks Emma through the history of the plea bargain – today the most common conclusion to a criminal case (97% end in guilty pleas) – and how we came to put so much discretion in the hands of judicial cops (prosecutors) to center our judicial system around efficiency. First, Professor Canon brings us back to the inception of the plea bargain in 1830s Massachusetts, with the industrial revolution seeing a massive influx of white male suffrage in the working class, resulting in the political elite immediately launching a concerted attack on the labor movement via massive and incredibly vague criminal statutes like vagrancy and drunk and disorderly, thus needing to prosecute these individuals with efficiency the Massachusetts legislature legitimized the plea bargain. This saw a rapid shift in the US judicial system, with plea bargains going from illegal and frowned upon, to making up well over 80% of cases in Massachusetts by 1880, and continuing to effectively null the concept of a “jury of one's peers” well before those “peers” could include women or people of color. Next, Dan and Emma walk through how the US criminal system developed around the plea bargain over the next century, with federal involvement in criminal justice expanding massively during the prohibition era, and continuing in the wake of the 21st Amendment as the US government turned to the beginnings of the war on drugs, only for Nixon and Reagan to massively accelerate it a half-century later, all requiring US prosecutors to charge such mass numbers of people at an incredibly rapid speed, regardless of the context and content of their arrests. Wrapping up, they reflect on the role of union busting in creating the plea bargain, looking at how the US' carceral state works to create this permanent criminal underclass, separated from society and isolated as individuals, before concluding with a discussion on the necessity of rebuilding our system as a whole, rather than reforming it bit by bit. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton as they take a tour of Mar-a-Lago's lovely facilities, Crowder asks Kari Lake whether she, as governor of Arizona, would disband the FBI and IRS, and the crew debates DeSantis' role in the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago. Matt from CT talks jury processes, and Brandon and Emma reflect on Howard Schulz, once Hillary's potential NLRB nom, and his violent union busting coming back to bite him. Kilmeade calls out Biden for lowering inflation and also trying to continue to lower inflation, Matthais from New Jersey explores the privatization of public space in the wake of integration, plus, your calls and IMs!

Amazon, created in the Seattle garage of Jeff Bezos, was incorporated on 5th July, 1994.  Before Bezos had settled on the site's name as a way of conveying the size and scope of the e-commerce platform he intended to build, his working titles had included Cadabra, Relentless, Awake, Browse and Bookmall. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why Washington was chosen as the launch location for the company; reveal how Bezos was able to resell individual books from wholesalers without breaching any Ts & Cs; and compare notes on their first-ever Amazon purchases…  Further Reading: • ‘Amazon Was Founded 25 Years Ago This Friday.

စီးပွါးရေးကပ်ကာလအတွင်းမှာပင် Starbucks ဘယ်လို ကျော်လွှားခဲ့လဲ ?

1974年4月，在美國紐約，時任國務院副總理的鄧小平，代表中國政府在聯合國第六屆特別會議上發言。 14日，工作人員租了一輛加長禮車，帶他觀光市容。人們問他想看什麼景點。68歲的鄧小平不假思索地說：“華爾街！” 接下來在中國發生的種種變化，大家都目睹了。 1974年的中國還處在“文化大革命”當中。鄧小平在想什麼？他是如何為這個遍體鱗傷的國家找的出路的？1995年，微軟公司創辦人比爾·蓋茲意識到公司如果繼續開發軟體，將面臨被淘汰的危險。於是通告全公司，向互聯網轉型。2008年，星巴克連鎖咖啡店的創辦人Howard Schulz 重回領導職位，希望帶領公司走出經濟衰退的低谷。當時公司的淨收入狂降53%！他沒有裁員，廣開言路，擴大慈善事業，用一系列看起來很小的舉動，扭虧為盈。2012年，電器連鎖店Best Buy面臨危機。總裁Hubert Joly需要帶領公司殺出一條血路。他採用是一個所謂“第一次騎自行車”的方法。現在的疫情，各國都需要有遠見和有分析能力的領導者。這集節目，也許會給大家一些啟發。

Broke out the Gaggia Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine. Had Two double Lattes with W&S Kaffee aus Linsengericht Deutschland. If you want to see something cool, go to WS-Kaffee.de and see Angela Merkel celebrating her 60th Birthday in Berlin with her closest friends with Kaffee roasted by Thomas and Christian Schulz (No relation (that we know) to Starbuck’s Howard Schulz) but hey, could be?

All I want to do is talk about how strange today's episode is, but I can't honestly say it's much stranger than usual. So here's today's totally on-par episode, where Jess, during her reviews for airport Starbucks, somehow confirms that she did NOT "gig" the frogs. Also, I get a bit personal and talk haircuts. We want to get our show into more drums, and for just pennies a day, you can make that happen by simply telling a friend. Word of mouth, friends.  Otherwise, check us out on the internet! We love to get reviews from fans. I try to be relatively active with folks on Twitter, and Jess is talkin' to fans on Facebook: Facebook Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/Everyones-a-Critic-2327696304154655/ Twitter: @CriticEveryone foreveracritic@gmail.com I wish we had HBO; this Watchmen show seems like a real hootenanny eh?    

In this interview with Robert Ringer, David Webb once again shows why he has a reputation for being one of the calmest, most rational media personalities in America.He first weighs in on the Democratic presidential field and how the candidates magnify the split in the Democratic Party. He also explains why he sees New Hampshire as very important to Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, but why Iowa is not.Webb says Amy Klobuchar “is done,” Beto is “pretty much gone,” and Pete Buttigieg, though he has a smooth delivery, “has no substance.” As to the other candidates, he dismisses them as having “never showed up.” Lastly, he chimes in on the possibility of Michael Bloomberg and Howard Schulz entering the race, and why he doesn’t believe Bloomberg can win but Schultz can.On the Russian-collusion investigation, Webb gives his take on the people brought in to look at the Trump dossier and the threat to Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Susan Power, Huma Abedin, Sally Yates, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and even Barack Obama.Regarding Christian Amanpour’s outrageous suggestion to shut down Trump supporters who yell, “Lock her up,” Webb dismisses her as “not really a journalist.” On the border crisis and Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, he shares his thoughts on the most important things the United States needs to do to bring the crisis under control.Among other things, Webb also dissects the Radical Left's socialist agenda, Charlottesville, the history of Antifa, racism, Stacy Abrams' startling comment about identity politics, and why Republicans are so bad at messaging.

Powerpoint Free Presentations   Visuals on a screen are very powerful communication tools when presenting.  Being able to show graphs can really drive home the point. If numbers are not so easy to follow or accessible, then proportion differences, trend lines, bars, pies, colours can be persuasive.   Explaining complex sequences with diagrams is good too.  This makes the potentially confusing more accessible.  Photos are really great for presentations.  “One picture is worth a thousand words” was used in an advertisement way back in 1918 in San Antonio Texas, although the base idea has been around for centuries.  Images are powerful communicators.  Just the image by itself or with one word, or a line of text are also spicing up the speakers communication effort.   The problem is everyone is doing it.  We all have our power point deck ready to go when we present.  We are not differentiating ourselves from other presenters.  Often the slides on screen don't actually add much to the presentation either.  There is a herd mentality going on here.  They say in banking, that it is acceptable to fail conventionally, but not by doing exotic stuff.  The same in presenting.  It is fine to be boring and dull, as long as you follow the railway track of what ever other presenter is doing.  If that boring shtick suits you, then keep doing that.  By the way, let me know how it is working out for you.   If you want to stand out amongst the average, the Lilliputians of Presenting, the nondescript and forgettable don't always go for the slide deck.  Mix it up a bit.  I saw Howard Schulz of Starbucks fame, give a presentation in Tokyo.  He had one slide.  That was the Starbucks logo.  He was able to talk with just that image in the background and he kept the interest of the crowd.  He spoke about something he knows a lot about – his company.  We actually know a lot about our subject matter too and we can do it with out any slides.   One downside of slides is that it seeps the audience attention away from the speaker.  We are shifting our eyes away from the speaker to what is on the screen.  This is often compounded as an error, by some helpful “know nothing” who switches the lights off at the same time.  Now the screen has won all the attention because the speaker has disappeared into the darkness, the void, and only their voice is apparent like some pre-recorded content for the light show.  The entire repertoire of the facial expressions and body language available to the speaker have been neutralised.   The screen based presentations have the advantage of being milestones and markers along which the presentation can flow.  You don't have to remember what comes next, because all you have to do is push a button. This is a quite handy.  You can put something up on screen and talk to the point and this flow will progress logically and smoothly.  When you are free-forming, you are up on the high wire and have no net.  We have to remember though that only we know the order.  If we mess it up and put one bit in the wrong place only we will know. The audience will be oblivious for the most part and we can just blatantly carry on, as if nothing happened. So the downside is not that great.   You can still keep your order by writing out your speech, as a full speech or as points.  This is your navigation to keep the speech on track. The key is not to read it out to the audience.  Talk to the points instead.  We want our eyes fixed on the audience members throughout. That means eliminating any and all distractions.  Ideally, we don't want our eyes dropping to glance at a page and then having to look up again.  It is not the end of the world if that happens, as long as you keep the glancing bit quick.  Better to think in silence with your chin up and looking at your audience, than with your head down scanning a piece of paper on the rostrum.   So save yourself a lot of time worrying about the finer points of slide deck creation and instead concentrate on the key messages you want to get across.  Also when delivering with no bright screen in play, the audience has nowhere to go, but to look at you.  Make sure you return the compliment by looking at them throughout the talk.  Eye contact, eye contact, eye contact is the rule. Giving an audience a change from the usual makes you memorable.  By contrast, you seem quite at ease up there on the high wire.  The audience members know they can't do that, so the respect factor for you goes right up.  Your talent and skill as a speaker stands out more powerfully and the contrast with the punters out there, chained to their slide deck, becomes more pungent.

If you've ever wanted more abundance and prosperity in your life, then do we have the life-transformative, overflowing show for you. Today we'll be talking with one of my all-time favorite human beings, though she doesn't know it yet. Her name is Lisa Nichols, she's one of the stars of the movie The Secret, one of the most requested public speakers in the world, and one of the most successful African American businesswomen and entrepreneurs out there. And the founder and CEO of one of the only publicly traded personal and business development companies, Motivating The Masses, Inc. She's also on a mission to help teens through her non-profit foundation, Motivating the Teen Spirit, and she's also an incredibly inspiring author of seven amazing books including the NY Times best-seller ‘No Matter What' and her latest book, Abundance Now. And that's just what we'll be talking about today, about finding abundance now, amplifying your life and your personal prosperity beginning today. That plus we'll talk about the power of playtime, the importance of the Caribbean, the danger of jet skis, turning down Jack Canfield 5 times, that is, and how to go from dead last in swim meets to record-setting, plus catastrophic key-lime pie and the adventures of Mustard Man and Garlic Girl!
