[Press, A. (2020, October 2). It's time to end the subminimum wage for tipped workers. *Jacobin.*](https://jacobinmag.com/2020/10/tipped-restaurant-workers-waiters-coronavirus-subminimum-wage/)
> *Some progress has already been made toward ending the subminimum wage. So far, seven states have legislated an end to the practice. While theres movement in other locales, it is plagued by carve-outs that exclude certain tipped workers (in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomos order excludes restaurant workers, the largest group of tipped workers in the state).*
[Sankin, A., & Mattu, S. (2020, October 1). *I scanned my favorite social media site on Blacklight and it came up pretty clean. What's going on?* The Markup.](https://themarkup.org/ask-the-markup/2020/10/01/i-scanned-my-favorite-social-media-site-on-blacklight-and-it-came-up-pretty-clean-whats-going-on)
> *But the main reason Facebook follows you around its site is to build detailed profiles of each users interests in order to target ads that presumably will be more successful than non-personalized ads, since theyre in some way connected to things the user sought out on his or her own.*
[Scott, D. (2020, October 2). *While Trump gets the best health care in the world, he wants to eliminate coverage for millions.* Vox.](https://www.vox.com/21498783/trump-positive-covid-19-coronavirus-test-obamacare-supreme-court)
> *After testing positive for the coronavirus, President Donald Trump can rest assured he will receive the best medical care without having to worry about the cost. [...] But the challenges some Americans have faced in the pandemic could only get worse under the Trump agenda. Millions could lose coverage outright and protections for preexisting conditions could be overturned if the Trump administrations argument prevails at the high court.*
