I bought a toolbox from an estate sale a couple weeks ago. It belonged to a union machinist. In it were Shop Steward manuals from 1956 to 1988. They were nothing but guides on how to protect your screwup employees, hide your mistakes, shift liability elsewhere and screw over your employer. 
 

Nothing about doing a better, safer job.

Biden Administration quietly raised amount of Ethanol required in summer blend gasoline from 10% to 15%, three predictable problems will surface soon.
Last Friday the Biden administration raised the mandatory amount of biofuel, specifically ethanol, that must be blended within the U.S. gasoline supply.  The previous amount of 10% (summer blend) was raised to a year-round 15% (waiver) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  This is likely to lead to two sets of bigger issues, less food and higher gas prices.
First issue. The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is a government mandate, passed in 2005 and expanded in 2007, that requires growing volumes of biofuels to be blended into U.S. transportation fuels like gasoline and diesel every year.  Approximately 40 percent of corn grown in the U.S. is used for ethanol.  Raising the amount of ethanol required in gasoline will result in the need for more biofuel (corn).  With farming costs and outputs already under pressure this could be problematic.
