    GM is ready to give striking autoworkers the whole EV enchilada

    The United Auto Workers have scored a major win in negotiations with General Motors. The automaker has agreed to place its EV battery factory under the union’s “master agreement,” which came after the UAW made it clear that it planned on expanding its strike to include some of GM’s most profitable facilities.

    This comes after Ford claimed that the UAW was holding contract negotiations “hostage” over its forthcoming battery plants.

    This is one of the wildest Airbnb stories I’ve ever read.

    A woman rents a guest house in a Brentwood mansion through Airbnb, gets in a dispute with the property owner over mold, stops paying rent, and 540 days later, she’s still there.

    When Elizabeth Hirschhorn’s Airbnb stay ended in April 2022, she simply didn’t move out. She’s been living there rent-free ever since, and she refused to budge unless Jovanovic paid her a relocation fee of $100,000, according to a settlement offer reviewed by The Times. Jovanovic said his hillside haven has become a hell.

    You can’t make this up.
