“I don’t know what possessed me to open four spades,” Cy the Cynic said to me after today’s deal. “Maybe the devil made me do it.”In a penny game, West had led the king of hearts, and dummy showered down with two aces and the jack of trumps!When West continued with the ace, Cy ruffed. He led a trump to dummy’s jack, unblocked the ace of diamonds, ruffed a heart and drew trumps with his A-K-Q — leaving him with none. When he led the queen of diamonds next, East won and led the queen of clubs. The Cynic ducked that and escaped for down one.LOW TRUMPIf the devil made Cy open four spades, he also proffered temptation by giving dummy the jack of trumps. Cy would succeed easily if dummy had a low trump.Cy should take the ace of diamonds at Trick Three. Then, to keep control, he overtakes the jack of trumps and takes his three high trumps. He loses a diamond to the king, ruffs the heart return and runs the diamonds. West gets only his high tr...

Stellantis Diversity Groups Mobilize to Provide Scab Labor at Auto Parts Plants

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:44:30 GMT

Stellantis — one of the big three automakers locked in negotiations with the United Auto Workers — is mobilizing its internal diversity groups to provide volunteer labor at parts distribution facilities affected by the UAW strike, according to internal emails obtained by The Intercept. The communications marked with Stellantis’s Diversity and Inclusion logo seek members of the company’s Business Resource Groups, or BRGs, to help keep parts flowing to the automakers’ customers. Company officials put out a request last week for volunteers to staff its parts distribution centers across the country, particularly in Michigan.
