The utility plans to ask state regulators this week for permission to install solar panels on some of its buildings in the city and to share the benefits with needy customers.

Public relations is an excuse.

The Upshot

The High Costs of Not Offering Paid Sick Leave

Research suggests that if sick workers stayed home more, it would help everyone else by reducing contagion.

Sickness should not be an externalized cost.

Jenna Heller, Matthew Rubin

They got together when they learned on a dating site that they are both pescatarians.

That sounds fishy.  

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

Clinton Has Few Ways to Fight Misconduct During Investigation

The government’s power to investigate is almost unlimited, with no real avenue to provide redress for a person harmed by publicity surrounding a case.

A failure of communications between the owners and the contractors.

The Ethics of Hunting Down ‘Patient Zero’

The debunking of an AIDS myth raises a moral question: When is justifiable to seek out the source of a disease outbreak?

The problem is the name.
A communicable disease cannot be stopped at its source.
The source of the disease is the entire infected population.
Quarantines provide the desired halt.
Witch hunting is not an ethical action.

Opinion

On Clinton Emails, Did the F.B.I. Director Abuse His Power?

If the announcement influences the election, it could be a violation of the Hatch Act.

James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, has performed a political act.
He is guilty of violating the Hatch Act.
He may escape the consequences of his action.
