'...The cuts announced in August, combined with the relative lack of hiring plans and job turnover data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday, points to signs “the labor market overall is softening,” Challenger said. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey found that job openings fell to their lowest level in more than three years in July and brought the ratio of job openings per available worker down to less than 1.1.

'The original rules proposed to both candidates by ABC News will stand, including the muted mic setup first demanded by Joe Biden. ...The Harris campaign released a letter announcing the decision to back down. It's her incessant crying in defeat that's most interesting, though. This sure sounds like someone who doesn't expect to do well and is setting up a litany of excuses. ...Harris' demand for unmuted mics was not just about hoping Trump would interrupt her. It was about her wanting to interrupt him. Harris wanted to get into a back-and-forth with Trump in which she could cosplay as a good prosecutor, prodding him with yes and no questions to loaded accusations. With the mics staying muted, Harris can't set that up, and she's ticked off about it, as evidenced by her campaign's continued whining in the letter. ...'

'...the train wreck in which she lied and refused to take responsibility for the problems the U.S. is facing. Instead, she passed the blame to former President Donald Trump...

She also refused to decriminalize illegal border crossings that have caused more than 17 million illegal aliens to cross the southern border unlawfully. ...Harris also said she has zero regrets for covering up Biden’s mental health decline despite repeatedly downplaying concerns about his age.

Ars Technica reports that in an unprecedented move, NASA has publicly discussed the ongoing debate within the agency about the safety of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. The primary concern revolves around the reliability of the vehicle’s 28 reaction control system thrusters, which are crucial for precise maneuvering and pointing of the spacecraft.

'...What should have been a quick trip to the International Space Station may turn into an eight-month stay for two NASA astronauts if they have to switch from Boeing to SpaceX for a ride home. There's lingering uncertainty over the safety of Boeing's new Starliner capsule, NASA officials said Wednesday, and the space agency is split over the risk. As a result, chances are increasing that test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams may have to watch from the space station as their Starliner is cut loose to return to Earth empty.

'...The bad news for Kamala Harris is that she's a cringe factory and radical leftist who has said many things on camera that are far out of step with the mainstream American electorate. The good news for Kamala Harris is that her supporters, including media outlets, are frantically re-writing history and quite literally deleting the internet in order to mitigate and disappear those vulnerabilities. They're going to have a lot more scrubbing to do. For example, this is quite an inconvenient clip for her, in light of one of the newly-emerging byproducts of her abject failures as Border Czar (and yes, that's what she is)...'
