Everything Everywhere Daily - How Casinos Work

Casinos are fascinating places. They can make tons of money, but they don’t really have a product. While it is often called entertainment, unlike other forms of entertainment, no one is entertaining you. In fact, the entire business is really nothing more than applied mathematics. With the proper application of mathematics and a liberal dose of high-tech security and proper management, a casino can become a cash machine.

The Daily Signal - How Racial Preferences Pigeonhole Minority Lawyers

How would you feel if your business forced you to do something based solely on your race? For some minority lawyers, that's a reality.

Racial preferences from clients take minority lawyers away from cases they’d prefer to work on, all to fulfill a quota.

GianCarlo Canaparo, a legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation (of which The Daily Signal is the news outlet), says that this can lead to mismatches in what a lawyer wants to do, and what he or she is forced to do. In some cases, that can lead to minority lawyers leaving their firms, exacerbating the problem.

"[Law firms] may pull a minority associate off cases that he or she wants to work on and put them on these matters, sometimes against their will, just so that they can fulfill these quotas," Canaparo explains.

Canaparo joins the show to talk about racial preferences and how they affect the careers of minority lawyers.

We also cover these stories:

President Joe Biden unveils a new, pared-down version of Democrats' social welfare spending bill.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., expresses reservations about cuts to the spending bill.
The NAACP asks professional athletes to boycott Texas over the state's laws on abortion, voting rights, and COVID-19 mask mandates.

NPR's Book of the Day - Zakiya Dalila Harris and Oliver Jeffers talk about different kinds of hauntings

It's almost Halloween, which means that we're in peak spooky season. So for today's episode, we bring you two books with two very different kinds of frights: a haunted house and...office politics. That's right: In The Other Black Girl, writer Zakiya Dalila Harris captures the all-too-real horror of being the only Black woman in her office. When another Black woman is hired, the tension gets dialed up even higher. And in There's A Ghost In This House, the author-illustrator Oliver Jeffers uses old photographs to create creepy illustrations that will give both children and adults goosebumps.
