Conservatives have been questioned for years on what they have conserved. Billions of dollars have been invested in conservative causes, but what do they have to show for it? With the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett and the influence of the Federalist Society, conservatives have seen victories in landmark rulings that overturn Roe, cripple affirmative action, and restore the Second Amendment.

The Epoch Times: In China, Government Jobs No Longer Mean 'A Solid Rice Bowl'
Ruzhou, a city in China's Henan province, is facing a financial crisis that has left public employees without paychecks for months, causing many to struggle to make ends meet. The city, once known for its robust economy, is now unable to pay teachers, firefighters, police officers, and healthcare workers. The situation in Ruzhou reflects a broader local financial crisis in China post-COVID.
The financial woes in Ruzhou are due to mismanagement, corruption, and the sheer size of the Chinese Communist Party. Poor tax collection and a depleted treasury have resulted in the inability to pay salaries. The city's healthcare workers and traffic employees have already protested over unpaid wages. The COVID-19 pandemic and the decline in real estate development have further exacerbated the city's revenue losses and economic prospects.

The Federalist: Courage Is The Only Path Out Of The Fake ‘Winsome’ Gospel
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a graphic designer who refused to create wedding websites for same-sex couples. This victory for Christians highlights the challenges they face in a society where traditional religious values are increasingly marginalized.

Forbes: How Tracking Wardrobe Usage Boosts The Circular Economy
Consumers are largely unaware of the environmental impact of their fashion purchases. Luxury brands like Gucci and mass market retailer Zara are entering the resale market, but it is unclear how this affects carbon emissions. At a fashion technology conference in Amsterdam, Reaktor's principal consultant for strategy and business design, Olof Hoverfält, shared insights from his Wardrobe Diary Project, which tracks the use and environmental impact of clothing. The data reveals that close to half of our wardrobes are heavily underutilized, and the cost per wear of garments is often higher than expected. This tracking could help brands manufacture more sustainably and encourage redistribution models like reselling and subscriptions.
The Epoch Times: ANALYSIS: Broadcasting Experts Say Online News Act Poorly Drafted and Harmful to News Media

However, experts say the legislation is poorly composed, lacks certainty about costs, and could force smaller media outlets to invest in advertising or rely on federal subsidies. They predict that the Liberal government will face pressure to modify or scrap the bill due to its negative impact on the media industry.
