       Australian chain Coles Supermarkets is having employees wear body cameras to combat shoplifting. A retail trade union approves due to a rise of shoplifting, attributed to the rising cost of living. But it worries the cameras would turn each employee into a “mobile security camera.” While Coles reported an increase in theft, it also reported $1.1 billion in annual profit. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-14/coles-woolworths-staff-body-cameras-customer-abuse/102853054 #australia #surveillance #technology

The tunnel would zig-zag around several majority-white neighborhoods nearby. “There is a real need for public transit over highways, but public transit should work for the community instead of gentrifying or harming it.” https://capitalbnews.org/baltimore-amtrak-tunnel-displacement/ #amtrak #baltimore #train #transit #urbanism
