Net Neutrality Returns to a Very Different Internet: The FCC voted 3-2 to restore net neutrality rules that had disappeared during the Trump administration.

Quick Glance: FCC Votes to Reinstate Net Neutrality Rules

The Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 along political party lines to reinstate rules repealed in 2017 that prevent internet service providers from disrupting your internet speed.

The FCC also ordered the U.S. divisions of China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile to stop broadband internet access services in the United States.

Reinstating the rules has been a focus for President Joe Biden, who signed an executive order urging the FCC to restore net neutrality rules put in place under President Barack Obama.

The FCC argues there are a number of benefits for consumers by establishing basic rules for ISPs so they don’t block legal content, throttle speeds, and create 'fast lanes' for people who can pay for it.

Elon Musk and Tesla: Is the CEO’s controversial behavior responsible for company’s struggles?

mercurynews.com/2024/04/22/elon-musk-and-tesla-is-the-ceos-controversial-behavior-responsible-for-companys-struggles/

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges

The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.

Experts suggest that Musk's conduct may deter potential customers, but larger issues impact his company. With growing competition in the electric vehicle market, his polarizing personality could lead to more significant long-term damage.

While Musk may be damaging Tesla’s image with some consumers, the primary focus remains on the product and its dependability. Many consumers do not base their purchasing decisions on the political views of the company's leader.

Quick Glance: Disneyland performers seek unionization

Performers who assist in bringing Disney's popular characters to life in the Southern California theme parks filed a petition on Wednesday to form a labor union.

The workers, including parade performers, character actors, and support staff at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, requested The Walt Disney Co. to recognize the union they are calling "Magic United."

A significant portion of the over 35,000 workers at the Disneyland Resort, which includes the theme parks, are already unionized. Parade and character workers announced their plans to unionize in February under the Actors' Equity Association.

Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades, but organizations have seen growing public support in recent years. The NLRB, which protects workers' rights, reported over 2,500 filings for union representation in the 2023 fiscal year, the highest number in eight years.

Quick Glance: Outlook on Labor Markets in California, New Jersey, and Connecticut

There’s now at least one unemployed job seeker for every vacancy in five US states, indicating a loosening of the labor market in parts of the country.

Connecticut joined California, Nevada, New Jersey, and Washington in the list of states where the ratio of jobless people per opening is one or more. Meanwhile, Arizona and New York are nearing parity with a rate of 0.9, according to February data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The ratio of one or more in some states suggests a dynamic in the labor market being monitored by Federal Reserve officials for potential interest rate adjustments. This trend aligns with a gradual cooling and lower inflation.

Nationally, the job market remains challenging, with job openings outnumbering unemployed individuals. The ongoing rate of 0.7 over 10 months implies the potential for every unemployed worker to find at least one available position.

Quick Glance: Tesla Layoffs Impact Bay Area with Over 2,750 Jobs Lost

Tesla mass layoffs hit Bay Area's Fremont and Palo Alto facilities, resulting in over 2,750 job cuts. The job cuts are part of a broader 10% workforce reduction at Tesla, affecting various locations.

The layoffs are set to commence on June 14, impacting employees across multiple sites in Fremont and Palo Alto. In addition, significant job losses will occur in Lathrop, Burbank, and Austin, totaling thousands of affected workers.

Tesla's decision to eliminate a large portion of its workforce stems from the need to reduce costs amidst industry challenges. CEO Elon Musk emphasized the necessity of these layoffs despite their impact on employees and communities.

The company's restructuring plan reflects a shift in focus and operational strategies to address market dynamics, including declining stock value and competitive pressures in the electric vehicle sector. Tesla's future direction aims to navigate these challenges while maintaining its position in the industry.

Quick Glance: Former UFC Champion Cain Velasquez Shooting Trial Start Date Set

The trial for Cain Velasquez, the former mixed-martial arts champion charged with attempting to kill a man accused of molesting his child and instead shooting the man's stepfather after a lengthy South Bay car chase, is scheduled to start on September 9, as ruled by a judge on Wednesday.

Judge Elizabeth Peterson also scheduled a pre-trial hearing for June 26 to determine the readiness of the prosecution and defense for the trial in September.

Velasquez has been out of jail custody since November 2022, participating in wrestling and mixed-martial arts events in California and Arizona under release terms allowing court-approved travel for work.

Velasquez, facing potential life imprisonment, is accused of shooting at Harry Goularte Jr. at least twice while he was traveling with his mother and stepfather from Morgan Hill to San Jose on February 28, 2022, to be fitted for an ankle monitor at a county office.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.
