hanging

There are 257 open positions with titles that lead with "Senior" {Scientist|Engineer|Manager}. That seems extreme. Does no element of the organization develop from within?

  the ones that worked against construction of dense housing and public transit

I can't think of any public transit construction that has been denied, period, no matter how badly envisioned or constructed.

"We conclude that GBPs are an ineffective policy strategy to reduce gun violence, a finding consistent with descriptive evidence that (i) firearm sales prices are set too low by cities to appreciably reduce the local supply of firearms, (ii) most GBP participants are drawn from populations with low crime risk, and (iii) firearms sold in GBPs tend to be older and less well functioning than the average firearm.

I don't understand the qualifier. Hasn't Covid-19 been a boon to delivery services? If they can't profit during these artificially beneficial market conditions (boosted demand and endless supply of minions to do delivery), how can they ever profit?

  executive orders can decide what the law means

  extremely partisan Wisconsin court has now struck down that law in a blatant act of judicial activism

"Extreme partisanship" is more evident in your complaint about a "striking down" that didn't happen of a "law" that doesn't exist. The Court upheld existing law and struck down executive actions that violated it.

By the way, Supreme Court justices here in Wisconsin are elected on statewide ballots, not nominated for life like Federal judges. Your basis for calling them "extremely partisan" is, what, exactly?
