A quick definition of connexity:

Term: CONNEXITY

Definition: Connexity means being connected. It is like when you have a puzzle and all the pieces fit together to make a picture. In some places, connexity is used to decide if a person or company from another place can be sued in that place. They can only be sued if what they did in that place caused the problem that the person is suing them for.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Connexity (kə-nek-sə-tee) refers to the quality of being connected or the state of being connected. In some states, it also expresses the relationship that must exist between a foreign party and the state for a plaintiff to maintain personal jurisdiction over the party. Generally, the claim must arise from a transaction connected with the activities of the party in the state.

Example 1: The connexity of the internet has made it possible for people to connect with each other from different parts of the world.

Example 2: In some states, connexity is used to determine whether a court has jurisdiction over a foreign corporation. For instance, if a corporation has conducted business in a state, and a plaintiff files a lawsuit against the corporation, the claim must be connected to the corporation's activities in the state for the court to have jurisdiction over the corporation.

Example 3: The connexity between the brain and the nervous system is crucial for the body to function properly. The brain sends signals to the nervous system, which then sends signals to different parts of the body to carry out specific functions.

These examples illustrate the concept of connexity, which refers to the quality of being connected or the state of being connected. In Example 1, the internet has made it possible for people to connect with each other from different parts of the world, highlighting the connectedness that exists between people. In Example 2, connexity is used to determine whether a court has jurisdiction over a foreign corporation, emphasizing the importance of a connection between the corporation and the state. In Example 3, the connexity between the brain and the nervous system is crucial for the body to function properly, underscoring the importance of a connection between different parts of the body for optimal performance.

thats awesome. agree with everything you said! its cool. i was a UPS driver and became a shop-steward at my building. then became an organizer in our amazon division. so ive mostly worked with truck drivers and warehouse workers. its extremely important work! also very difficult. these companies are very powerful and break the law A LOT

oh that's cool! UPS made some big wins recently, yeah? are there any challenges you've found working w the Amazon division? i've heard some horror stories abt the things Amazon does to suppress worker rights and I wonder if that spills over to UPS

we had a big contract campaign in 2023. i was very involved in that. was an exciting moment. there are a million challenges. to keep it simple: the turnover rate combined with amazon's willingness to illegally retaliate against workers for organizing makes organizing feel like building a house of cards
13:06
cuz i lowkey just dont wanna retake
soapy
13:09
When the fees for illegal retaliation are low enough, and when any punishment takes years to enstate, many companies just see those fines as the cost of doing business. Amazon is for sure like that
@Invicat: I'm very interested in First Amendment litigaton & advocacy. I also think appellate work broadly is also interesting.
13:25
yooo we are talking about unions
13:25
im on a first contract campaign rn and when we win i pretty much am a shoe-in for shop steward
13:26
i did say id rather someone else do it bc i'm leaving for law school but theyre like Can You Do It Until You Leave and im like Ok Fine
for big law purposes i want to do biotech law, most likely either patent or ip
and later in life and/or ideally something in healthcare accessibility
reallt two can go hand in hand, especially working for companies such as pfizer which is one of the few companies that actually work towards access like suspending patents and funding manufacturing costs
but overall tbh, will have to shell out first (that sent, so early my bad)
but especially with the advent of technologies such as AI there will be massive ethical and legal issues in their development and implementation, so hopefully i'll be able to work in that field in a way that takes these considerations into account
14:08
i want to do that too

As the next week brings an election, I challenge you to decide which side: won their primary despite receiving 0 votes, has the power of the elites, war mongers, media giants behind them, is endorsed by adversary V Putin, preferred by China, throws concerts instead of addressing voters. The choice is yours dear friend. -Kremlin Operative, KGB grad 1980
