Smtimes your house is haunted because there's a ghost sometimes your house is haunted because you miss grandma and your mom misses her even more sometimes your house is haunted because the subtext of how the last owners decorated rubs you wrong way sometimes your house is haunted because you've sublimated the fact that you didn't want to move in the first place and Sometimes your house is haunted because there's a carbon monoxide leak. Lots of options.

childhood emotion of wanting a dragon that is your friend so bad that it feels like there is a vacuum in your soul that only a dragon who is your friend can fill

i’m “house phone” years old

i'm "computer room" years old

They mean that there's a room in your house where the household's single computer goes (no one has laptops or smartphones) and that is the "computer room" and if you want to type up a document or play a game or go on the internet you go to the computer room and use the computer in there.

No. That's not what the case was about.

Don't get me wrong, the ruling is bad. But that is NOT what the case or the ruling was about.

The case in question was Glacier Northwest v. Teamsters Local 174, and was about whether or not Glacier, a concrete manufacturing company, could sue the striking Teamsters Union over the loss of cement that had been manufactured but not delivered at the beginning of the strike.

Generally, employers are not allowed to sue employee organizations engaged in activities protected by the NLRA, like striking. However, SCOTUS found that this case falls under one of the only exceptions to that rule, which is intentional property damage or failure to take reasonable precautions to prevent such damage.

This ruling is bad in that it cracks open the door for employers to sue striking unions more if they can come up with a "property damage" angle, thus increasing the attack surface that companies have over unions.

The ruling is not carte blanche for companies to sue striking unions over any loss caused by a strike.

You should absolutely be angry about this ruling because it is anti-union bullshit. But be angry about it correctly, so you know how to talk about it and how to fight it.
