• New York Times: Freight rail companies and unions representing tens of thousands of workers reached a tentative agreement to avoid what would have been an economically damaging strike, a relief for businesses and consumers. • Axios: The number of people primarily working from home tripled from 5.7% to 17.9% between 2019 and 2021.

The sentence is a bit longer than other rioters who pleaded guilty to the same misdemeanor charge and were not accused of violence, but Judge Carl Nichols said Packer’s lengthy criminal history contributed to that decision.
