On the latest episode of Patriot Act, Hasan takes a look at how the video game industry has grown into a $139 billion a year business and a cultural force. While gaming is more prominent than ever, some of the most popular video games are made under unfavorable working conditions. Hasan examines the exploitative labor practices at game developers like Epic and Riot Games, and the ways in which workers are finally fighting back.

August 08, 1911

On this date, President William H. Taft signed legislation increasing the membership of the House from 391 to 433, with provisions to add two more Members when New Mexico and Arizona became states. The legislation took effect on March 3, 1913, during the 63rd Congress (1913–1915). Debate on the bill, however, raised concerns that the House was growing to an unwieldy size. “Members are . . . supposed to reflect the opinion and to stand for the wishes of their constituents,” declared Representative Edgar Crumpacker of Indiana, who chaired the House Committee on the Census. “If we make the ratio [of persons per Representative] too large the idea of representation becomes attenuated and less definite. The personal interest of the voter in his representative becomes less important to him, and we may lose something of the vital strength of our representative form of government.” In 1920, partly because of a fear of a large House, Congress failed to apportion the House for the first time after a decennial census. In 1929, the Permanent Apportionment Act capped House membership at 435, where it has remained, save a temporary increase to 437 Members from 1959 to 1963 after Alaska and Hawaii achieved statehood.

Earlier this year, a corporation called Par Pacific purchased US Oil in Tacoma, one of Washington state’s five refineries. Their plan is to expand the facility to accept more crude oil by tanker, rail, and possibly tar sands from the Trans Mountain pipeline. Tar sands are one of the dirtiest sources of oil on the planet. When they spill into water they are nearly impossible to clean up.

Thankfully we’ve got a chance to push back. The Department of Ecology is currently hosting an open public comment period to renew the refinery’s 401 water quality permit, which includes plans to protect us and our water sources from dirty oil. If enough of us submit comments to the Department of Ecology, they’ll have to push back on Par Pacific’s dirty plans.

I have decided to end the coverage of Congress… when if  unless until and hopefully sooner rather than later comes back for the People of the US of A … what we have imo is an illegitimate government with the face of leadership bending over grabbing their ankles to change Not only the Norms, Rule of Law, Regular Order and or the congressional protocols but OUR Constitution was at risk on 1/20 now it is in crisis while moc put their heads down hoping praying to keep their seats until election season is over … Our government Our Constitution Our Norms policies procedures protocols are far from perfect but We are NOT a Kakistocracy though if you a even listening or watching who is being put into seats of power would admit we are already suffering. This guy in charge seems to want Autocracy  or as wiki states …  with absolute autocratic power over the state and government — for example, the right to rule by decree, promulgate laws, and impose punishments. … This is NOT an America anyone wants to experience for long … 2.5yrs is long enough imo

Vote for the democratic party to end this era of trump … clean up the Senate and ask the republican members why they support trump what flag are they flying?
