Things certainly get harder if there are outside organizations who are pushing Tesla in the wrong direction. It's difficult to say that then we would expand, if we had outside organizations who were making things very difficult. We're not going to shut down the factory, but we wouldn't expand it either.
Olney: Financial disparity among teams has long existed, but the Dodgers' payroll will serve to galvanize the effort of other owners to rebuild the sport's financial system through some kind of proposed cap-and-floor design. As one former player said: "It's like we're back in 1994 -- you've got some owners looking for the players to solve ownership issues." The players went on strike in August of 1994, of course, and that fall's World Series was canceled. But it remains to be seen how far the owners will push to revamp the system, and whether the players' coalition will hold together as strongly as it did three decades ago.
I want Starbucks to succeed. My livelihood depends on it, said Dachi Spoltore, a striking barista from Pittsburgh. I know that Starbucks' success has to include and prioritize people like me who make the coffee, open the stores and keep the customers coming back.

This served as an opportunity for each side to lay out diverging views of the game's economics. It is widely expected that the sides will not be able to line up on a new deal before the expiration of the current CBA on December 1, 2026. If that's the case, MLB would immediately implement a lockout to freeze the 2026-27 offseason.
The Trump administration issued an executive order late last month, quietly declaring that NASA will operate as a national intelligence and security agency going forward. The order stipulates that the agency will now "have as a primary function intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work." It's a major departure for the agency, which has historically focused on space exploration, as well as space and Earth sciences over its 67-year lifespan.
Corpus faces two simultaneous efforts to oust her: one under Measure A, a voter-approved initiative passed in March granting the Board of Supervisors authority to remove a sheriff through 2028, and another stemming from a civil grand jury accusation filed in June alleging misconduct and abuse of power. If removed, she would be the first elected sheriff in California ousted by a county board.
