  One Fair Wage - Ending...

  Saru Jayaraman

  Before the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the country, more than six million people earned their living as tipped workers in the service industry. They served us in cafes and restaurants, they delivered food to our homes, they drove us wherever we wanted to go, and they worked in nail salons for as little as $2.13 an hour—the federal tipped minimum wage since 1991—leaving them with next to nothing to get by. 
   
   
   
  These workers, unsurprisingly, were among the most vulnerable workers during the pandemic. As businesses across the country closed down or drastically scaled back their services, hundreds of thousands lost their jobs. As in many other areas, the pandemic exposed the inadequacies of the nation's social safety net and minimum-wage standards. 
   
   
   
  One of New York magazine's "Influentials" of New York City, one of CNN's Visionary Women in 2014, and a White House Champion of Change in 2014, Saru Jayaraman is a nationally acclaimed restaurant activist and the author of the bestselling Behind the Kitchen Door. In her new book, One Fair Wage, Jayaraman shines a light on these workers, illustrating how the people left out of the fight for a fair minimum wage are society's most marginalized. They epitomize the direction of our whole economy, reflecting the precariousness and instability that is increasingly the lot of American labor.

  Freedom's Battle

  "Freedom's Battle" is an influential essay written by Mahatma Gandhi in 1922 during the Indian independence movement. In this thought-provoking piece, Gandhi reflects on the principles of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience as a means to challenge and overcome oppressive systems. 
   
  The essay begins with Gandhi acknowledging the critical juncture at which the fight for freedom stands. He passionately articulates the necessity of the struggle for independence and the moral imperative for individuals to resist unjust laws and policies. 
   
  Gandhi introduces the concept of Satyagraha, emphasizing the power of truth and nonviolence. He argues that nonviolent resistance is not a strategy of the weak but a potent force that requires great courage and strength of character. He believes that nonviolence is not a submission to injustice but a proactive, assertive force that can transform both the oppressor and the oppressed. 
   
  Throughout the essay, Gandhi explores the moral duty of individuals to engage in civil disobedience when faced with unjust laws. He contends that obedience to an unjust law is in itself a form of violence, and breaking such laws nonviolently becomes a powerful instrument for societal change. 
   
  Gandhi also touches on the idea of self-suffering as a means of resistance. He advocates for willingly enduring the consequences of civil disobedience as a way to awaken the conscience of the oppressor and the society at large. 
  "Freedom's Battle" is a call to action, urging individuals to recognize their agency in the struggle for freedom and justice. It remains a significant work that encapsulates Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence and its application in the pursuit of social and political change. The essay serves as a timeless inspiration for movements advocating civil rights, justice, and freedom around the world.

  The Digital Paradigm Shift - A...

  The journey into the digital age began with the spark of human ingenuity and the desire to simplify complex tasks. Early civilizations laid the groundwork for computation by devising systems to manage trade, record history, and calculate astronomical events. These early tools, such as the abacus and mechanical calculators, may seem rudimentary by modern standards, yet they were the building blocks of a monumental transformation. 
  In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the seeds of the digital age began to take root. Pioneers like Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace envisioned the potential of programmable machines long before the technology to build them existed. Lovelace's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine contained the first algorithm intended for implementation on a machine, earning her recognition as the world’s first computer programmer. Their ideas laid a conceptual foundation that would inspire future innovators. 
  The advent of World War II catalyzed the development of modern computing. The need for advanced cryptography, ballistics calculations, and logistical coordination drove governments and researchers to invest in computational technologies. Alan Turing, often referred to as the father of computer science, developed the Turing Machine, a theoretical construct that became a cornerstone of computer science. His work at Bletchley Park, cracking the German Enigma code, not only shortened the war but also showcased the immense potential of automated computation.
