And all of this would be better resolved if healthcare and employment weren't linked together in the US.

Its in the ruling. Google it, ita easy to find the actual ruling.

You can legally change their vote since votes are public for electors.

The Constitution was shat upon today.

Electors have to win their own elections at party conventions, FWIW.

This is stupid but reinforces the large urban underclass that capitalist rely in to keep wages as low as can be possible for all other workers.

Without a maintained urban underclass of cheap disposable labor we would all be worth more in the labor market and be a more expensive factor of production, bad your owners and shareholders.

Is that really the case, though? I'd be interested to know what jobs they're competing for.

No matter the particular job, wages across the board are a web, or spectrum, and the lower the min is the lower they drag across the board.

As minimum wage has gone up so have other wages across the board in restaurant work, construction, most service jobs, etc. This isn't related to inflation, because if minimum wage was tied to inflation it would be over 20/hr ar this point as shown by many studies of this. And the concrete finisher is paid relative to his wages as an unskilled laborer that he was started as. A raise from a higher number is better mathematically.

Having so many highly disposable workers has been the biggest safeguard to rising wages among our servants.

I imagine some stupid people will read this, be really concrete operational, and think it only affects burger flippers. It affects them.

Also more money being expended grows the economy. If fast food workers have more money them they won't qualify for medicaid, which is how a lot of business is being subsidized by the government. You have all americans who get insurance through work, but certain people don't have to do that and they get the government to cover that cost of business for them.

How big is medicaid and how many people on it are employeed by a fortune 500 company that is basically on welfare to keep its enployees healthy? Why can't McDonalds afford health insurance for workers? They're making billions of dollars a day off of them.

If social workers and nurses weren't paying for the health insurance of those they serve they would have more money for example.

First decision will be up in 3 minutes

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/18-9526_9okb.pdf

Held: For MCA purposes, land reserved for the Creek Nation since the
19th century remains “Indian country.”

"Today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation for purposes of federal criminal law. Because Congress has not said otherwise, we hold the government to its word."

5-4 decision, Gorsuch writes for the majority
The Gorsuch opinion is joined by RBG, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.
Roberts filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Alito and Kavanaugh in full and by Thomas except for a footnote. Thomas also filed his own dissenting opinion.

This means the tribes+liberal bloc wins, oklahoma+conservative bloc loses. With Gorsuch siding with the tribes, as he has in prior cases during his time in lower courts

Trump subpoenas will be decided in 2 minutes from now
