The Daily Signal - #543: A Former Abortionist Explains Her Change of Heart

For years, Dr. Kathi Aultman, an OB-GYN, performed abortions, believing she was helping women. Then, a trio of abortions she performed after having her first child left her unsettled--and put her on a different path. Now she is an advocate for giving medical care to abortion survivors, and an associate scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute.

We also cover these stories:

• National Security Adviser John Bolton is out at the White House.

• The NRA is suing San Francisco over labelling the group as a terrorist organization.

• The first gay credit union is set to open soon.

Philosophers In Space - 0G71: Willy Wonka and The Meritocracy Factory

Oopma loompa do-ba-dee-do

We’ve got another topic for you.

Oompa loompa do-ba-dee-de

If you’ve got merit you’ll listen to me.

What you get when you reward the best?

Virtue for some and vice for the rest.

Aiming for merit with your social policy

Careful you don’t land on an oligarchy.

Oompa loompa do-ba-dee-da

Abandon meritocracy and you will go far.

You will live like egalitarian too,

Like the oompa loompa do-ba-dee-do

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Uber’s Chicago Move, Chemical Spills In NW Indiana

Uber wants to be more than a rideshare company. They want to dominate a number of transportation markets in the same way Amazon has become a one-stop shopping experience. To that end, Uber has leased the massive old post office building that straddles the entrance to the Eisenhower expressway, with plans to turn it into the headquarters for Uber Freight. But the company hasn’t turned a profit yet, and Wall Street isn’t as forgiving with companies as they were when tech first began to boom.

Then, steel companies are dumping poisonous chemicals into rivers and streams the feed directly into Lake Michigan. We’ll find out what’s going on, and the environmental impact.

The Best One Yet - Uber Freight’s $200M annual allowance, Starbucks’ 1st pick-up only store, and AT&T’s 23-page love/hate letter

Uber is already deeply unprofitable, but whipped up $200M to invest annually in its fastest-growing business: Uber Freight. Starbucks will launch its 1st pick-up only store in New York this fall, but it’s the early sign of American companies copying Chinese ones. And AT&T was smacked with a 23-page letter by a new major hedge fund investor, and it’s calling for huge change. Learn more about your ad choices.
