Only if a state tries to. Coming from the same crowd who are always yelling about "states rights".
What shit hitting the fan? Are you implying a republican would ever get into trouble in this administration?
It really burns Elmo that he can't ever be president so he did the next best thing and bought himself one. But now the bromance is dead because Elmo stopped being useful to cheeto.
It's not about "free speech" either.

It's mind boggling that they even attempted it in the first place. Windows Vista had glass effects that were soon toned down, but apparently Apple doesn't learn from other people's mistakes.
They actually normally DO! That's always been one of the big Slashdot slanders of Apple -- that they're not the first mover, they just copy other people but do it really well. (I don't entirely agree, but that's neither here nor there for this conversation.)
Liquid Glass does give me serious Vista vibes, and so far, I don't get it. I've only tried it on one device so far, so I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm not incredibly optimistic.
It's a real joy to use the old versions of OSX. I miss those days. Aqua was a lot of fun.
I don't understand objection to skeuomorphism really. Apple and Microsoft has lost cite of their own design language though. If you are going to not base your UI on real world analogs, a valid choice now that we have a large population of "digital natives" you probably don't want to confuse expectations by trying to mimic the appearance of real materials.
I agree. Though I remember at the time one of the explanations was that simpler, flatter designers were more manageable for scalable display sizes, resolutions, DPIs, etc. I'm not sure I entirely buy that.
Ultimately I think it came down to a pissing contest between Apple personalities after Jobs was gone. Jobs was the dictator with a vision who kept all the other creatives in line. Scott Forestall lasted about a year and Jony Ive won that battle (though Ive himself only stuck around, in a partial capacity for another 6-7 years).
I hooked up an old pre-OSX Mac recently. A lot of those programs had really solid, clear designs. The Apple HIG used to be a really big deal. The Liquid Glass rollout feels incredibly rushed and half-assed. It's like since Apple has dropped the ball on AI they felt they had to do SOMETHING quick.
The same can be said about anything using RF to communicate.
So what's the application for this? Students in class? People in a movie theater? This is a nonstarter.
Being in an area where the government is interfering with cell comms.
When I worked at an unnamed company, this was the rule. HR said, "If someone else isn't sticking their neck out and employing them, then why should we?" In fact, candidates were screened by if they were actively working or not.
This is very common. Was common for 5+ years after 2000, 4+ years after 2008.
Men have been steadily dropping out of the workforce since the 1960's. It's a gradual descent, but still constantly downward. Right now we have a male non-labor participation rate that's extraordinarily high for a non-depression economy. A lot of men have simply decided they're not going to work if someone else... family, government, whoever... can support them. So a male applying for a job that hasn't worked in years throws up all kinds of work-ethic red flags to HR departments. No one wants to be the workplace where that guy struggles to become productive again.
"In exchange for this you will get access to substantially more money than if you didn't go to college."
No you don't. You have a CHANCE to access that.
The problem is there are much more college graduates than jobs that warrant that "substantially more money".
The hardest hit are those with certain arts or humanities jobs -- at least as far as pay. a BA/BS just isn't going to win you that 6-figure pay to allow someone to pay off their student loans unless you planned your major very well.
To be fair, some of the blame goes to employers. They want experience and real world skills -- which virtually NOBODY has right out of college. Its like they are hunting unicorns instead of training horses.
I would expect this article to not spread misinformation. This isn't a new trend. In January 1993 unemployment for all workers was 48% higher than recent grads, but by January 2003 it was 17%. The gap spiked again after the great recession, but unemployment for recent grads has been the same or higher than all workers since late 2018. Before the pandemic or ChatGPT's release (the main culprits in the article).
This has little to do with anything on your list. This is the simple result of too many of the jobs being created over the past decade have been low wage jobs that don't require college educations or much experience. This has dropped the unemployment rate for all young workers by 15% over the past 30 years while unemployment for recent grads rose 30%. The economy overall has gotten better for the bottom 20% over the past few decades (more low wage jobs and a larger social safety net) but for the middle 60% it has been slowly declining for about 50 years.
I wouldn't hold my breath, because this entire article is rubbish. This isn't some new phenomenon. Unemployment for recent college graduates and for all workers have been neck and neck since 2014, and unemployment for recent grads has been slightly higher almost every month from late 2018 to mid 2022, when it started to grow noticeably higher than all worker unemployment. This isn't because of a post-pandemic cooling off period or AI, it is a trend that started in the 1990s with a hiccup just after the great recession that corrected itself in about 5 years.
