Contract underway.
Author: Raine
Date: 06/15/2020 13:08:35
I have been thinking about Rousseau and the theory of 'The Social Contract'.
I will be writing more on that for Thursday as I literally went down the figurative rabbit hole researching it.
Right now the current contract is being rewritten by people of good faith with little trust. People of bad faith are no longer honoring it at all -- this administration has all but torn it to shreds. It's happening before our very eyes. How the negotiations go is hard to tell
|Let's get this week rolling.

#SCOTUS will not take up federal govt’s request to overturn California’s “sanctuary state†law, which bars state & local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities

Mornin' all! 
The decisions coming out today are slow because the server is overloaded. The second case was Forest Service v. Cowpasture. Looks like it's about running a pipeline through the Appalachian Trail lands.

The Court holds in the US Forest Service Case (also known as the Appalachian Trail case) that because the Department of the Interior's decision to assign responsibility over the Appalachian Trail to the National Park Service did not transform the land over which the trail passes into land within the National Park system, the Forest Service had the authority to issue the special use permit" to Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

Good morning, bloggers!!!
I hope that you are doing well. Raine, I am looking forward to your blog on the social contract. A college professor I had, Charles Branham, argues that the key quesiton in American life has been to whom the "inalienable rights" in the Declaration of Independence apply and what the phrase "all men are created equal" mean. He later went on to be the director of the DuSable Museum of African-American History in Chicago.

Morning, comrades.
Back from an interview with a School Bus company near my hometown of Saugus - good potential, but like everyone else, no actual transport work right now due to the shutdown. I drove along the beach - it was completely surreal, parking lot empty and lots of on-street parking around Red Rock. Tough to even drive on Lynn Shore Drive in normal times.
I've also got an application out to UPS - I'd take that in a second, they're close enough to ride my bike. (and no commute to Boston!)

Oh, I don't know this case. I've section hiked some of the AT (Trail name: "Hundreds") and a friend of mine through-hiked it last year (Trial name: "Pilgrim"). Close to home for me.

In some good news, I have two interviews tomorrow. One looks very promising based on the salary scale. The other seems to be less than I am making now. Both are in California.
