Once praised, settlement to help sickened BP oil spill workers leaves most with nearly nothing

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

Thousands of ordinary people who helped clean up after the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico say they got sick. A court settlement was supposed to help compensate them, but it hasn’t turned out as expected. A large majority got only the minimum award and had to file individual lawsuits to recover more. However, attorneys familiar with the issue say only one person has received a settlement after suing — and that took extraordinary luck and effort. Judges have dumped plaintiff experts. BP has fought every case. Читать дальше...

Choctaw artist Jeffrey Gibson is first Native American to represent the US solo at Venice Biennale

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

Jeffrey Gibson’s takeover of the U.S. pavilion for this year’s Venice Biennale contemporary art show is a celebration of color, pattern and craft. That's immediately evident on approaching the bright red facade decorated by a colorful clash of geometry and a foreground dominated by a riot of gigantic red podiums. Gibson is a Mississippi Choctaw with Cherokee descent. He is the first Native American to represent the United States solo at the Venice Biennale. The last time Native American artists were included was in 1932. Читать дальше...

As earnings season rolls into its heart, hopes rise for broader gains

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

Last year, a handful of Big Tech stocks were behind much of corporate America’s profit growth.

Give credit to the remarkably resilient U.S. economy, which continues to hum despite high interest rates meant to bring inflation down. The expectation is for that strength to translate into stronger revenues for companies broadly. Even more pressure than... Читать дальше...

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has completed a book about her years in public life. The memoir ranges from legislation she helped enact to such traumatizing moments as the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol and the assault at her San Francisco home that left her husband with a fractured skull. Simon & Schuster announced Thursday that Pelosi’s “The Art of Power” will be released Aug. 6.

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

President Joe Biden will accept endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia as he aims to undermine former President Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The decision to highlight the Kennedy family endorsement on Thursday, more than six months from Election Day, is an indication of how seriously Biden’s team is taking the threat of the independent bid potentially using his last name’s lingering Democratic...
