Turns out the flavorful chemicals in fresh orange juice go bad really quickly. Standard industrial practice is to treat the juice to remove the flavor for bulk storage, then each brand has a proprietary "flavor mix" they add at the time of filling the individual containers.

Not a hypothetical: Hostess folded, as did Yellow trucking. Unions can't save a business from bad business decisions or destructive market forces.

But businesses fold all the time, union or no union. When business is good, unions make sure the employees get a fair piece of that.

Girls are made to feel unwelcome in chess environments at a very young age. Of course once many drop out because of cultural pressure, the remaining small sample size will have less spread than the larger population of men who have been made welcome in chess environments their whole lives.

It's not just visual deepfakes, either. There are large language models out there now that can be trained on a person's writings to chat "in their style". Having such a model act like an acquaintance but prompted to express love and/or NSFW fantasies is a similar moral area to the deepfakes visual porn.
