Furious woman gets revenge on motorist parking in spot before ‘scam’ space revealed
An angry woman thought she was getting her own back on a motorist for parking in her spot only to find the space didn't actually belong to her. Shirley Lieu, from Australia, took to TikTok to explain how she blocked a car into the space after repeated frustrations over people parking in what she though was her space. But the story took a strange turn when the motorist sent a text message to Shirley asking why she had blocked the car into space, before claiming they were the owner of the spot - and Shirley wasn't renting it from them.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 BOISE, Idaho (AP) — U.S. officials are testing a new wildfire retardant after two decades of buying millions of gallons annually from one supplier, but watchdogs say the expensive strategy is overly fixated on aerial attacks at the expense of hiring more fire-line digging ground crews. The Forest Service used more than 50 million gallons (190 million liters) of retardant for the first time in 2020 as increasingly destructive wildfires plague the West. It exceeded 50 million gallons again last year to fight some of the largest and longest-duration wildfires in history in California and other states. The fire retardant cost those two years reached nearly $200 million. Over the previous 10 years, the agency used 30 million gallons (115 million liters) annually. “No two wildfires are the same, and thus it’s critical for fire managers to have different tools available to them for … [Read more...] about US testing new fire retardant, critics push other methods

Companies have a simple, legal way to help workers living in anti-abortion states: more paid time off
(THE CONVERSATION) Employers looking for ways to support their workers seeking abortions in states where it’s now illegal or soon will be don’t have it easy. From an employer’s standpoint, abortion is considered a type of health care benefit – and the rules that apply to that benefit are shifting rapidly from state to state. Abortion is also a political flashpoint guaranteed to produce controversy. And the problem is not going away anytime soon. Some companies are vowing to cover the cost of traveling out of state to get the procedure where it is still legal. Others are emphasizing that their insurance plans explicitly cover abortions.
