[monochrom] Jupiter's protective pull questioned

[das ende der nahrungskette]

For more than a decade many astronomers have thought of Jupiter as a 
protective big brother for planet Earth. The gas giant's 
gravitational pull is believed to slingshot incoming 
Earth-threatening objects out of the Solar System. This has led many 
to suppose it shielded the young Earth from impacts, helping to 
support conditions for life. But now, a preliminary study indicates 
that Earth would have done just as well, if not better -- in at least 
one regard -- without Jupiter's help.

[monochrom] Organized Labor in the US - Its Rise and Decline

[das ende der nahrungskette]

Organized labor's rise began modestly and was fragile in the earliest 
days of the republic. It gained strength in good economic times, then 
lost it in downturns like the depression in 1873. By the 1880s, 
things were better as the nation underwent rapid industrialization. 
With it came rising prosperity and workers wanting a share of the 
benefits. They turned to unions for help with skilled artisans 
leading the way helping the unskilled as well in their efforts to organize.


New labor organizations arose, older ones expanded, and as they did, 
they grew more active and militant. It led to the "great uprising of 
labor" in 1886, including the landmark Chicago May 4 Haymarket Riot 
protesting police violence against strikers the previous day. Its 
impact was hugely negative at first. It forced organized labor to 
regroup and settle in for a long period of recovery.


This was at a time the incipient labor movement was over two million 
and rising beginning with its organizing efforts launching it in the 
1870s. By the 1880s, it had enough strength to stage huge strikes for 
better pay and working conditions like the struggle for an eight hour 
day that had 80,000 strikers parading peacefully down Chicago's main 
Michigan Avenue on May 1, 1886 in what's now regarded as the first 
ever May Day Parade. [...]
