Rhiw Kamala Harris slams Trump after first debate: What we saw was a dog whistle through a bullhorn
For want of a comma, we have this case, Circuit Court Judge David Barron wrote in the opening line of his opinion.Because of that missing comma, a federal appeals court allowed drivers for a Maine dairy to go forward with their dispute over overtime pay.The particular kind of comma at issue is an Oxford comma, which is th stanley cups e final comma in a list of items. Itrsquo not always used. Herersquo an example:Irsquo;m going to buy strawberries, ice cream, and cake.The Oxford comma is the one that comes after ice cream. This comma -- also referred to as a serial comma -- is often not used, though grammar guides have argued about it for decades. The AP Styleguide has consistently said itrsquo not usually needed. We generally don t use the Oxford comma in a simple series, @johannaharvey: The U.S. flag is red, white and blue. APStyleChatmdash; AP Stylebook @APStylebook May 29, 2013 In the labor dispute, drivers for Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, Maine, sued in federal court seeking more than $10 million in overtime. But the company argued it was exempt under the law. According to Maine law, stanley cup overtime doesnrsquo;t apply to these duties:The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of: 1 Agricultural produce; 2 Meat and fish products; and 3 Perishable foodsNote that ther stanley taza ersquo no Oxford comma in the phrase describing the exemptions.

CONGESTION PRICING....Matt Yglesias was touting the virtues of congestion pricing in urban areas earlier today and got some pushback on the grounds that additional fees would hurt poor people more than the rich. I think his answer is about right:Of course the costs of congestion pricing would fall hard on people of modest means, but that s because the cost of anything falls hard on people of modest means. But the whole crux of the argument for congestion pricing is that free roads come with real costs. They cost money to build as would priced roads but on top of that, they impose huge costs in terms of traffic and delays. That cost, is borne by everyone but, again, people of modest means tend to pay the mo stanley quencher st since in search of affordable housing they re pushed the furthest out onto the metropolitan fringe.You ll see the same objection raised in other areas as well, notably from social justice environmentalists who, for example, oppose cap-and-trade schemes because they hurt the poor or, alternately, don t do enough to actively help the poor . It s a perfectly justifiable concern, but when you focus too much on it you end up being p stanley cup aralyzed. You can t do anything that carries an immediate cost, no matter how worthy the cause, because the cost will, inevitably, hurt the poor more than it hurts the rich.Far better, I think, to support things like gas taxes and congestion pricing but insist that some or all of the revenue be earmarked to ameliorate the impact on low stanley mug -incom
