President Trump abruptly announced Tuesday that acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan is withdrawing from consideration to lead the Pentagon and he's naming Secretary of the Army Mark Esper as his replacement.

While speculation has brewed for days about Shanahan's status, the announcement came shortly after the publication of an explosive USA Today report that the FBI has been probing a violent domestic dispute from 2010 between Shanahan and his then-wife as part of his background investigation.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, the president said, “it's a difficult time for Pat,” adding Shanahan would take “some time off for family matters.”

WHO IS MARK ESPER, TRUMP’S NEW ACTING SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PICK?

“Mark Esper will be outstanding,” the president said of Shanahan’s replacement. “And, we look forward to working with him for a long period of time to come.”

In a resignation letter Tuesday, Shanahan said “it is unfortunate that a painful and deeply personal family situation from long ago is being dredged up and painted in an incomplete and therefore misleading way in the course of this process.”  The Pentagon said Shanahan's resignation will take effect at midnight Sunday.

“I believe my continuing in the confirmation process would force my three children to relive a traumatic chapter in our family's life and reopen wounds we have worked years to heal,” Shanahan said. “Ultimately, their safety and well-being is my highest priority.”

He added, “I would welcome the opportunity to be Secretary of Defense, but not at the expense of being a good father.”

After the 2010 incident, Shanahan and then-wife Kimberley both told police the other punched them, according to USA Today. Shanahan denied the allegations. "Though my marriage ended in sorrow and disappointment, I never laid a hand on my then-wife and cooperated fully in a thorough law enforcement investigation that resulted in her being charged with assault against me—charges which I had dropped in the interest of my family,” Shanahantold USA Today.

The Washington Postalso published a story Tuesday detailing other domestic violence incidents involving Shanahan's family, including how his son was arrested in 2011 after allegedly beating his mother with a baseball bat. The Post said Shanahan defended his son, saying at the time he acted in self-defense. Shanahan told the paper this week that resurfacing the incident “will ruin my son’s life,” while backing away from his original self-defense claim.

Without referencing the reporting, Trump announced on Twitter earlier Tuesday the acting secretary will not go forward with confirmation in order to focus on his family.

“Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, who has done a wonderful job, has decided not to go forward with his confirmation process so that he can devote more time to his family,” the president tweeted. “I thank Pat for his outstanding service and will be naming Secretary of the Army, Mark Esper, to be the new Acting Secretary of Defense. I know Mark, and have no doubt he will do a fantastic job!”

Esper has served as secretary of the United States Army since 2017. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1986 — the same year as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Last month, the White House announced Trump's intention to have Shanahan permanently lead the department, following his time serving as acting secretary. At the time, Shanahan said he was "honored" by Trump's decision.

“If confirmed by the Senate, I will continue the aggressive implementation of our National Defense Strategy," he said. "I remain committed to modernizing the force so our remarkable Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines have everything they need to keep our military lethal and our country safe.”

But in recent days, there were signs that Shanahan’s confirmation had stalled, as the Senate Armed Services Committee -- the panel that would have held hearings on the nomination -- still had not received paperwork formally nominating Shanahan to the position. Fox News was told the panel was still waiting for paperwork from the FBI’s background check.

Shanahan worked at Boeing for over 30 years before coming to the Pentagon as then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’s deputy at the start of the Trump administration. He has filled the role of acting defense secretary since Mattis' resignation last year.

text:
It was a dark and cold night when the boy stepped out of his room. He had heard loud noises and great shouts. It was his father again ranting and fighting with himself in the living quarters, the father worked in the mines during the days and drank during the night. The boy who just turned 15 had two older brothers whom left home because of the toxic environment created by the Father. The Father was never always liked this, when the Mother had passed away five years ago in a murder the Father had become dark and lonely not talking with his children whom he prized very much. The Father turned into the warm arms of liquor and women. “David!, David do you know what I had to do to keep you boys alive all these years?” asked the Father. David had heard this questions many times over and each time there was a different answer. “Yes Father, you tolled many years in the mine to provide for us” said David. “Well let this be a lesson to you, don’t ya ever go into the mining, it will cut you worse than we cutting the rock. I never had the time to do anything I wanted and now I just did something great, but you’re too young to understand, now get back to bed.” Replied the Father, the longest time he spoke to his child since the death, as he lifted up his shirt there was a forearm lengthen gash across his chest, blood seeping out of the make-shift bandages. Overnight the Father bled out over the cot he slept in since he didn’t change the wrappings and even loosened it to sleep.

David awoke from his slumber, rubbing his eyes, and heads into the bathroom to freshen up. Once done David goes into the living quarters and shrieks as he looks at the pool of blood around his Father. Blood all over the floor, on the walls, David shakes his father and then runs out to the neighbor’s house. Annie is a worker in the mines and works with David’s father. As David bangs on the door Annie opens up “What is it?” Annie asks, naked as a goat. “My da is dying you got to help him” David said in a panic. “Oh yea what’s wrong with him, aint waking up” Annie winked, scratching herself. “There is blood everywhere, just come” David said with anger. David pulling Annie’s arm to into his house. “Dear god what did you do to your Pa, David?” Annie asks. “Nothing, I swear I did nothing” David says confused, he would not hurt a fly so why would he hurt his Father. Annie stumbles outside, she had her eye on David’s Father, Annie began to yell and gathers a crowd. “Look and help, Matthew is dead and his own boy killed ‘em. Look at the gash and beating he gave to his da!”. Miners begin to rush inside the house to view the body, some of the men grab David and force him on his knees, and some begin to question David, why did he do this. “I didn’t do it, I swear on me mum” David said weeping. It was too late men had bought rope with them and began to tie a noose around David’s neck.
	They watched the situation unfold while drinking tea in the Clock Tower. The two managers of the mining town had a duty to their stockholders to guarantee continuous profits and flow of goods. A easy way of keeping overhead low was to cut wages for workers and then keep them in a reliance position, for low pay was easier said than done since they would not be able to purchase necessity’s without any cash at all. By having alcohol and cheap women around men would spend their salaries and become dependent on their jobs to provide for more vices, a little of supply and demand. There was no space for negations and no other jobs for miles. “So should we intervene on this one?” asked Lawrence. “Nope I don’t think that is a good idea” said Jacob. “Oh why do you say that?” Lawrence asked. “Look at them they are in their bloodly frenzy, and the last one was only a few months ago” said Jacob. “You’re right, but he’s only a kid” Lawrence said with a panic tone. “Oh, I have forgotten this is your first time, you haven’t seen them kill a child, well in short, like a pack of wild animals they will tear into him, it’s quite enjoyable” exclaimed Jacob. “Seesh, you seem hungry for blood too” Jacob said with worry, will I be like that he wondered. “Well this is another way of controlling them” Jacob said coyly. “Well I want to know why they chose to hang this kid, I am going to see why.” Lawrence said as he walked away. “Have fun” Jacob said with a smile and chuckle

As the men begin to tie the rope on a high post, people began to throw rocks at David who was being dragged and heaved upwards. “Kill him, kill him” they all chanted. The women began to sing a song of their people when such life or death events occur.
	In the mines we are already at the mercy of god
	In the light we are blind and in the dark we see all
	When the rumbling begins we take our last breath
	It’s all over just think of our song
A shot is rung off. With that the rope goes taunt and David hangs three feet off the ground. Kicking around grabbing his neck but with nothing to support him David slowly dies with a broken neck. David has a flashback of his favorite times he spent with his family. David just could not understand why this was happened and he did not have the time find out.

Lawrence walks through the crowd “Why was this child hang?” Lawrence bellowed. “He killed his Father” someone called out. “Where is the proof he killed his Father” Lawrence boomed. The crowd looked distraught, why was this manager interrupting their ceremony. Lawrence pushed into the front into the crowd and asked where fathers the body is. Darren one of the men who hanged David walked up to Lawrence “The boy had killed his Pa with a cut to the body, follow me I’ll show ya” Darren said leading Lawrence.

title: [MS] The one who flew over the moon (5Mins)

question: Who has cut Father's chest?

answer: Father says he has just done something great. He must have confronted someone and got into a fight. Who knows what the motive was? Perhaps a fight over a woman? Perhaps he confronted the person he thought had killed his wife?

text: We don't know who cut him.

refinement: We don't know who cut him-only the man at the end who claims he will lead the crowd to the true assailant does.

answer: David's father was cut by David.

text: That's what they think, but it might not be the truth.

refinement: At first everyone things David's father was cut by David, so the boy is hanged. Then a man named Lawrence shows up and tells them he'll lead them to the real assailant.

answer: David.

refinement: At first everyone things David's father was cut by David, so the boy is hanged. Then a man named Lawrence shows up and tells them he'll lead them to the real assailant.

question: Why would there be blood on the walls if father had bled out in his sleep?

answer: It's not clear.

answer: The father bled out in his sleep because he loosened the bandages and did not change them.

text: That might have happened, but it also opens up many possibilities.

refinement: One theory is that Father bled out in his sleep because he loosened the bandages and did not change them.

answer: Perhaps the fight that resulted in the injury happened in the living area. This may be born out by the bangs the boy heard and the beating that Annie says Father had suffered.

answer: There was a gash on the father's chest from a wound he sustained while working in the mines, and when he bled out in his sleep, the blood spread all over the room. This is why there was blood on the walls and floor when David found his father's body.

question: How and why are the mine bosses able to control their workers?

answer: The mine bosses are able to control their workers by providing alcohol and cheap women, as this keeps the workers dependent on their jobs and unable to negotiate for better wages. Additionally, when workers become unruly or disobedient, they can be executed in a public spectacle to scare the rest into submission.

answer: They pay the workers low wages. There can be no negotiations. There are no other jobs for miles around. They also ensure a decent supply of loose women and cheap booze. The men get into a cycle where they are dependent on their money to support their habits.

answer: They keep them in a reliance position by cutting their wages and keeping them in a reliance position.

text: No answer.

refinement: They give them low wages and provide things that will form the bases of potentially costly addictions and that are affiliated with mine work.

question: Why Is Lawrence so keen to stop the lynching?

answer: Lawrence is keen to stop the lynching because he believes that the boy is innocent and that he deserves a fair trial. Lawrence is also concerned that the lynching is becoming a regular occurrence in the town, and that it is becoming a form of entertainment for the people.

text: Lawrence walks through the crowd “Why was this child hang?” Lawrence bellowed. “He killed his Father” someone called out. “Where is the proof he killed his Father” Lawrence boomed. The crowd looked distraught, why was this manager interrupting their ceremony. Lawrence pushed into the front into the crowd and asked where fathers the body is.

question: Write a ~16 sentence summary.

answer: David's father is found dead in their home, and David is accused of killing him. The townspeople quickly turn into a mob and hang David, despite Lawrence, the manager of the mining town, trying to intervene. David's final thoughts are of happier times with his family before he dies from a broken neck.

answer:
David hears noises and shouts in the dark cold night. It’s his father again. He works in the mines by day and drinks all night. David is fifteen. His older brothers have left home because of the toxic home environment. It wasn’t like this until his mother was murdered five years earlier. Father turned from his treasured children to the arms of booze and women.

David sees that his father has a huge gash across. The father loosens the makeshift dressings in his sleep and by morning he has bled to death. David wakes his neighbour, Annie, to tell her that his father is dying. Annie tells the neighbours that David has killed his da. The men tie a noose around David’s neck.

The mine bosses watch from a distance. They manage their staff by balancing low wages with women and cheap booze. Lawrence wants to intervene and save the boy but Jacob tells him no. This lynch mob scenario has happened before not too long ago.

answer: David is a 15-year-old boy who lives with his father in a mining town. One night, he wakes up to the sound of his father screaming and finds him bleeding to death. The townspeople accuse David of killing his father, and he is hanged. In a flashback, David remembers his father's death and the events leading up to it.

answer: David is a 15 year old boy who lives with his father in a mining town. His father works in the mines and drinks during the night. His father is abusive and has a drinking problem.

On Monday, Jared Kushner's family business, Kushner Cos., was fined $210,000 by New York City for falsifying construction building permits. The violations occurred while the presidential adviser was CEO of the company.

 Andrew Harnik/AP

Kushner Cos. has been hit with $210,000 in fines by New York City regulators for filing false real estate paperwork over several years.

President Trump's son-in-law — and current adviser — Jared Kushner was still at the helm of the real estate company as CEO when, the New York City Department of Buildings says, the company routinely falsified construction applications at 17 sites.

The city's Building Department found the company frequently under-reported — and in some cases didn't report any — rent-regulated tenants living in its buildings, despite renting to hundreds of them.

Developers are required to report the number of rent-controlled tenants they inherit when they buy properties and renovate them. The requirement is a safeguard to protect tenants from steep rental increases or from being driven out to make way for higher-paying tenants.

On Monday, the city fined the Kushner family business for 42 violations at 12 addresses between January 2013 and September 2016.

"Protecting tenants is a key part of our mission to make construction safe for all New Yorkers, and we are determined to hold landlords accountable for the accuracy of their applications – no matter who they are," the department said in a statement emailed to NPR.

But Christine Taylor, a spokeswoman for Kushner Cos., contradicted what the city's Building Department told NPR.

"No fines were assessed against the company today," Taylor said in an email to NPR.

She acknowledged that "there were some violations issued for paperwork errors" but said "the company relied on third party consultants for the preparation of these forms and if in error they have been corrected or will be."

Despite denying the fines, she says that Kushner Cos. plans to present "the facts before an administrative law judge and until then no amount is due, if any."

Also under scrutiny is an investment group led by Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen. The New York Times reported that Cohen's business allegedly submitted false construction permits for three Manhattan properties. In each instance, according to a report by the Housing Rights Initiative, the Cohen group reported buildings "were vacant or without rent-regulated tenants, when they were occupied and many of the tenants had rental protections."

Concerning one building in the Lower East Side, the _Times_ reported:

  "At 172 Rivington Street, for example, the Cohen group indicated that there were no rent-regulated tenants in the 20-unit building, after the company purchased it in October 2011 for $2.1 million. But records indicated that there were 19 protected tenants there, but only 11 remained after the Cohen group sold the building three years later for $10 million."

In July, a group of current and former rent-stabilized tenants in one of the Kushner Cos.' Williamsburg, Brooklyn, developments, filed a lawsuitclaiming they were deliberately exposed to toxic smoke and other unsafe conditions. They argue it was to get them to move out so the apartments could be sold as high-price condos.

Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, NPR reported New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched an investigation into the business practices of the Kushner Cos. That investigation is ongoing.

Two Houses.

Picture two houses across the street from one another. They looked perfectly normal and sturdy on the outside, but on the inside they were run down and falling apart. Inside of one lived a quiet and peaceful man, and in the other lived a beautiful and cheerful woman. Neither of them, however, liked being outside the confines of their own house.

One day, the peaceful man ventured across the street to the other house and was invited inside. The two strangers visited, shared laughs, told stories, and enjoyed the others company. At the end of the day, the man returned to his house.

The next day he visited again, but instead of talking, he started to slowly repair the inside of the run down house. When one of his repairs would break, he would immediately come over to fix the damage with a smile on his face. The two housekeepers became used to seeing one another each day, and eventually, the woman would come over to the man's house to visit. The woman noticed that his house looked much worse on the inside than hers, and started to sneak inside at night while he was asleep to make repairs. When the man would try to fix something himself, or repair damages to his own house, he would fail, and sometimes even make things worse. But the next morning,  he would notice that things would be fixed. This puzzled the man and he decided to ask the woman about it the next time she came over.

The next evening they spent together, he asked and she informed the man of what she had been doing, and the man asked why. She replied,
"Because people who show a caring and wholesome heart deserve to receive the same treatment they give to others." The man became confused.
          "But I am a shut in. Nobody gives to me, and I don't give to them. Why does somebody like me deserve somebody as wonderful as you?"

The woman put her hand on the man's shoulder and looked into his dark brown eyes. She noticed a hurt that had always seemed to hide beneath his smile, a sorrow that hadn't been revealed in a very long time. She said in a soft and gentle voice: "Somebody that prefers to be alone does not always prefer being lonely. There is always somebody who will care."

The two embraced, and the man sobbed and became limp in the woman's arms. Once he had calmed down, the woman kissed him on the cheek and returned to her house without saying a word.

The following morning, he noticed another man performing landscaping on her lawn, painting the outside of her house, and cleaning her patio. Each day the house would look more and more beautiful. He became sad that the woman had found somebody else to do her work, and started to loathe the landscaper that would beautify her house all the time.

The woman remained indoors all day, trying to make the interior of her house look as pleasant as the exterior. However, most of her attempts at repairs or renovation were disasters. The person she hired was no help, and was only after her money. She began to miss her neighbors company, along with his sturdy repairs and his gentle smile. As days went by, the man and woman thought about each other more and more, but never saw each other.

One afternoon, the woman heard her doorbell ring. Knowing it wasn't the landscaper she hired, she curiously approached the peephole of the door. Seeing that nobody was outside, she opened the door and looked for pranksters. Looking down, she saw a small, dirty looking tin with a bow neatly placed on top of it.

The interior of the unkempt tin was extravagantly decorated with soft velvet from top to bottom, and in the center laid a simple necklace with a key on it, resting on top of a small note. Putting the necklace on, she unfolded the small note and noticed little droplets of water on the page.

"You are the only one that can make it feel less empty. Please take care of it for me while I'm gone. I must go, but I will return one day."

After reading it the woman dropped to her knees, and tears started to form in her tightly shut eyes. For what seemed like years, she spent the next few months wishing the man would come back and going into his house to take care of it while he was gone. She noticed that every little thing she had done to the house remained unchanged, as if he never tried to correct the small mistakes she had made.

Eventually, the man returned. The woman was thrilled and filled with happiness, but also saddened by the fact that the man no longer came across the street to visit her. A few days after his return, she noticed he was packing his belongings into boxes. Fearing that he might move away, the woman mustered up the courage to go talk to the man.

"Why are you putting everything into boxes?" The woman asked.
    "Because," the man replied solemnly, "I am looking to create new memories and find a fresh start." The woman said nothing and returned to her house, slamming the door and fighting back tears.

The next morning, the man was loading his belongings into a moving truck when he saw a pile of boxes bigger than his own sitting in the woman's lawn. He walked across the street to the pile, and saw a note taped to one of the boxes.

"I will always love you, and I promise that I will always be next to you. No matter where we go."

The man's face turned into a broad smile, and he looked up to see the woman on her front patio, looking right back at him, the necklace glistening in the sunlight. She ran into his arms and they kissed for what felt like an eternity. The pair continued to load all of their belongings into the one moving truck, and left that very evening. Holding hands with his true love, the man looked into the rear view mirror to see the sun setting on the old, abandoned houses for the last time, and felt what was truly a pure happiness. An odd and relieving sensation washed over him like a tide, as he realized that he would never have to search for anything in his life, as long as he lived.

answer: The peaceful man and the cheerful woman were neighbors. None of them love to venture outside of their house. One day, a strange thing happened - the cheerful woman invited the man inside. The two neighbors shared stories and had fun. The next day, the peaceful man visited without being invited. Instead of talking, he started to repair broken down parts of the woman's house. The two neighbors began to visit each other regularly due to the friendship that has developed between them.

text: The response spends a lot of time talking about what happened during the visits, but not much about the reasons behind them.

refinement: The peaceful man and the cheerful woman were neighbors. One day, the cheerful woman invited the man inside. The two neighbors shared stories and had fun. The next day, the peaceful man visited without being invited. Instead of talking, he started to repair broken down parts of the woman's house. He would even rush over to fix his repairs whenever they broke. The two neighbors began to visit each other regularly due to the friendship that has developed between them.

answer: The man visits the woman's house because he enjoys her company and finds comfort in the repairs she does for him. He also wants to repay her for the kindness she shows him.

text: The response says that the man finds comforts in the repairs the woman does and wants to repay her kindness, but the man was the one who started repairing her house.

answer: The peaceful man continues to visit the cheerful woman's house because they enjoy each other's company and enjoy working together. She also noticed his constant sorrow and decided to try to heal him by repairing his house and bringing joy back into his life.

text: The response contains lots of information not found in the text.

refinement: The peaceful man continues to visit the cheerful woman's house because they enjoy each other's company and enjoy working together. The man also enjoys fixing her house and keeping it well maintained.

answer: He really enjoyed her company that he didn't have a lot of tolerance to loneliness.

Stephen Smith worked at an AT&T call center in Meriden, Connecticut, for over 20 years before the giant telecoms company announced it was closing the city’s three call centers in February 2019.

“At 46 years old, I’m looking for a new job,” Smith said. “They basically told us we either need to move south or lose our job. It was out of the blue. We had no idea.”

Smith and about 90 of his colleagues were offered severance packages or the option to relocate to Georgia or Tennessee. But for most workers who have spouses with their own careers, elderly parents nearby in need of care, or children still in school, relocating on a whim isn’t an option.

These sudden mass layoffs have become increasingly common for workers at AT&T and many other big firms. But it was not meant to be that way.

AT&T’s CEO, Randall Stephenson,promised in November 2017 to invest $1bn in capital expenditure and create 7,000 new jobs at the company if Trump’s hugely controversial tax cut bill passed. Many opponents had slammed the cuts as a corporate giveaway that benefited the super-rich. But big firms lobbied for it, saying – as AT&T did – that it would fund job-creating expansions.

The bill was voted into law in December 2017, reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. AT&T’s benefit was a tax windfall of $21bn and an additional estimated $3bn annually. But instead of creating jobs and increasing investment into the company, AT&T has eliminated 23,328 jobs since the tax cut bill was passed, according to a recent report by the Communications Workers of America. The CWA also said AT&T reducedtheir capital investments by $1.4bn.

“The promises that were made from that legislation have not been fulfilled,” said Betsy Lafontaine, an AT&T call center employee in Appleton, Wisconsin, for nearly 30 years who was laid off after her center was shut down in March 2019.

An AT&T representative told the Guardian: “We continue to hire in areas where we’re seeing increasing demand for products and services, but technology is changing rapidly and that affects hiring and employment. There are fewer jobs in parts of the business that are declining and facing technology shifts.”

AT&T is among several large corporations whose CEOs announced support of the Trump tax cut bill by claiming if the legislation passed, their companies would ensure workers reaped benefits from it. But a report published on 22 May by the Congressional Research Service, a non-partisan thinktank for members of Congress, found the tax cuts did not significantly affect the economy or boost wages, but benefited investors more than anyone else.

“The evidence continues to mount that the Trump-GOP tax cuts were a scam, a giant bait-and-switch that promised workers big pay raises, a lot more jobs and new investments, but they largely enriched CEOs and the already wealthy,” said Frank Clemente, executive director of Americans for Tax Fairness.

He noted only 4% of the US workforce saw any sort of pay increase or bonus from the tax cuts. Meanwhile, data collected by ATF shows corporations have cut thousands of jobs since the tax cuts were passed, while using tax windfalls to buy back $1tn of their own stock, which primarily benefits corporate executives and wealthy investors since half of all Americansown no stock.

General Motors’ CEO, Mary Barra, was one of Trump’s economic advisers on tax reform, and the company vocally supportedworking with the Trump administration on tax reform “that is beneficial to the US economy, beneficial to US manufacturing and creates jobs”.

In November 2018, GM announced it would cease operations at five plants in Michigan, Ohio, Maryland and Ontario, Canada, resulting in the loss of more than 14,000 jobs in those communities. As GM is closing plants, the company has spent $10bn since 2015 on stock buybacks, and made a net profit of over $8bn despite paying no federal taxes in 2018. GM reported a tax windfall of $157m in the first three months of 2018 due to the Trump tax cut.

Daniel Adams worked at the General Motors plant in Lordstown, Ohio, for more than 25 years and is one of hundreds of workers faced with either being forced to uproot and relocate their families to continue employment at GM, or hope the company will cut a deal with the UAW union to reopen the plant.

“It’s like having a gun to your head,” Adams said. “They’re not only hurting workers, they’re hurting families.”

A GM representative said: “In November, we announced that four US plants would be on ‘unallocated status’ (meaning they don’t have a product assigned to them). The largest of the affected plants was our Lordstown Complex, which built compact sedans. We took the action because consumer demand has been rapidly shifting away from sedans and toward crossovers and trucks.”

Wells Fargo, the fourth largest bank in the US by assets, tied a minimum wage increase of $15 an hour to the Trump tax cuts and pledged increased investments in workers. The company is estimated to save $3.7bn annually due to the Trump tax cut. The bank’s 2018 tax savings were 47 times more than the costs of its minimum wage increases. Rather than invest in its workforce, Wells Fargo bought back 350m shares in early 2018, worthabout $22.6bn, increased CEO salary by 36%, and announced plans in September 2018 to eliminate at least 26,000 jobs in the US over the next three years as many of those positions are being sentoverseas.

“Nobody here saw any of that benefit; if anything, quite the opposite. They changed our healthcare plans in 2019, so the costs for everyone went up, the costs for prescriptions went up,” said Mark Willie, a Wells Fargo office employee in Des Moines, Iowa. “We need a voice because we’re often forgotten about in pursuit of profits, and that’s evident with the jobs being sent overseas.”

Wells Fargo said: “Savings from tax reform enabled Wells Fargo to further invest in our team members and communities. We have raised the minimum US hourly pay rate to $15 per hour, increased philanthropic support by 55% in 2018 to $444m, and we will target 2% of our after-tax profits for corporate philanthropy.”

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why does the article contend that the massive layoffs happening in big companies wasn't supposed to be that way?

answer: There was an expectation that governments would try to avert this sort of layoffs in favor of increasing decentralized jobs, which companies should work with. Randall Stephenson, the CEO of AT&T, pledged to increase investment in AT&T if Trump's tax cut gets passed. Such investments were withdrawn instead and resources redirected to buying back stocks and increasing executive salary.

text: This wasn't in the text and doesn't fit the context of the succeeding sentences.

refinement: Randall Stephenson, the CEO of AT&T, pledged to increase investment in AT&T if Trump's tax cut gets passed. Such investments were withdrawn instead and resources redirected to buying back stocks and increasing executive salary.

text: Add that AT&T also pledged to create jobs. Also add that GM, Wells Fargo, and other big companies benefited from the tax cuts while reneging on their promises of more jobs and investments.

refinement: Randall Stephenson, the CEO of AT&T, pledged to increase investments and create jobs in AT&T if Trump's tax cut gets passed. Such investments were withdrawn instead and resources redirected to buying back stocks and increasing executive salary. Other big corporations such as Wells Fargo and GM also benefited from the tax cuts while cutting jobs and buying back their own stocks using money gained from the tax windfall.

answer: Big firms had lobbied for tax cuts saying that they would use the money to invest in their companies and create jobs. Opponents said that the cuts would benefit the super-rich. The latter is exactly what happened. Investors benefited while big companies reduced investment and laid off workers.

The latter is exactly what happened. Investors benefited while big companies reduced investment and laid-off workers.

answer: They cite CEO, Randall Stephenson of AT&T, who promised under Trump's tax cut bill to invest a billion dollars and create 7,000 jobs if the law went into effect. Supporters of the bill said it would fund job-creating expansions.

text: The response fails to mention that these promises weren't fulfilled.

The promises AT&T made from that legislation have not been fulfilled.

answer: The article contends that the massive layoffs happening in big companies such as AT&T, General Motors, and Wells Fargo were not what the CEOs of those companies had promised when they convinced Congress to pass the Trump tax cut bill. The CEOs had promised that the tax cuts would create jobs and increases in investment for the companies, but instead of actually doing that many of the companies have used the tax windfall to increase stock buybacks and lay off workers.

answer: The article contends that CEOs of large companies promised to create jobs if the Trump tax cut bill passed, but rather than creating jobs they are now laying them off. The article contends this is not what the CEOs claimed they would do in relation to the Trump tax cut bill. The layoffs indicate that the promises made by CEOs related to the Trump tax cut bill have not been fulfilled.

text: Replace with "laying people off" and add "reneging on that promise".

refinement: The article contends that CEOs of large companies promised to create jobs if the Trump tax cut bill passed, but rather than creating jobs they are now laying people off and reneging on that promise. The article contends this is not what the CEOs claimed they would do in relation to the Trump tax cut bill. The layoffs indicate that the promises made by CEOs related to the Trump tax cut bill have not been fulfilled.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What did big business do with the money that they received from the tax custs

answer: Businesses used the tax windfalls to buy back $1 trillion of their own stock. This benefited investors and corporate executives. At the same time, they closed plants forcing people to relocate or lose their jobs. Only 4% of workers received increases or bonuses from the tax cuts.

answer: Lowered their capex investments.

text: The response failed to answer the question of what businesses did with the money. It needs to mention that big businesses bought back their own stock and gave salary increases to CEOs and other high-ranking corporate executives.

refinement: Big businesses used the money from the tax cuts to buy back $1tn of their own stock which primarily benefits corporate executives and wealthy investors. CEOs and other executives also got massive salary increases (as much as 36% in Wells Fargo) while only 4% of the US workforce saw any sort of increase or bonus from the tax windfall.

answer:
cut bill?

Big companies have primarily used their tax windfall to buy back their own stocks and to increase CEO salaries and other investments that mostly benefit wealthy individuals and investors rather than workers and their families.

text: "cut bill?" - seems like a typo or error that must be removed.

refinement: Big companies have primarily used their tax windfall to buy back their own stocks and to increase CEO salaries and other investments that mostly benefit wealthy individuals and investors rather than workers and their families.

answer: a stock buyback

text: The response is too short for a topical summary and must be expanded on. It's also formatted poorly.

CEOs and other executives also got massive salary increases (as much as 36% in Wells Fargo) while only 4% of the US workforce saw any sort of increase from the tax cuts.

answer:
cut bill?

Corporate executives and wealthy investors used the tax windfall to buy back stocks, increase CEO salaries, and send jobs overseas.

text: Seems like an error or typo and must be removed.

refinement: Corporate executives and wealthy investors used the tax windfall to buy back stocks, increase CEO salaries, and send jobs overseas.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why did companies who had backed the tax cuts still lay people off?

answer: Though these companies pledged to create jobs and invest in the workforce if the tax cuts passed, they instead have eliminated thousands of jobs and slashed investment, instead choosing to use their tax windfalls for share buybacks which primarily benefit top executives and wealthy investors. The tax cuts have not lived up to their promises, so companies are presumably just responding to consumer demand or other shifts in the market rather than creating jobs in compliance with their initial promises.

text: This part of the response is redundant and no longer answers the question. It should be revised to highlight that the companies are using the excuse of "responding to consumer demand and shifts in the market" for all the layoffs despite getting millions from the tax cuts.

refinement: Though these companies pledged to create jobs and invest in the workforce if the tax cuts passed, they instead have eliminated thousands of jobs and slashed investment, instead choosing to use their tax windfalls for share buybacks which primarily benefit top executives and wealthy investors. The tax cuts have not lived up to their promises and companies are claiming that the layoffs are in response to consumer demands and other shifts in the market, which is a lame excuse to cover up corporate greed.

answer: One reason is that technology and automation has made certain jobs either unnecessary or unprofitable, like telemarketing, certain customer service centers, and bank teller positions that are more easily facilitated by automated processes. Additionally, tax cuts have given companies an excuse to fortify themselves against big losses, like in the auto industry.

text: Some points in the response can't be substantiated by anything in the text. There was no mention of what types of jobs were threatened by automation, while companies fortifying themselves against big losses was not discussed. A full re-write is necessary.

refinement: Big companies that backed the tax cuts and promised job creation still laid people off because of corporate greed disguised as changing technologies that affect hiring and employment and taking action on shifting consumer demand.

answer: The companies claim that the layoffs are due to the changing economy.

answer: Companies such as AT&T and General Motors that backed the tax cuts have still laid people off due to changes in technology and shifts in demand. As a result, even though they benefitted financially from the tax cuts, they often did not use those savings to create jobs or make investments in their workers, instead focusing on stock buybacks and CEO salaries. This illustrates that the promised benefits of the tax cuts result more in increased profits for shareholders than job creation.

answer: They offered a variety of reasons.AT&T claimed that technological changes had affected how many people they needed in various parts of the business. GM claimed that market requirements had changed and they were just responding to the changes and Wells Fargo were eliminating jobs because of a jobs export.

The Sunspider crawls along my arm, its gem-body focusing the sun, leaving a tingling pain and barely burned line in my skin. It backs along, licking up the cooked flesh. It doesn't bother me, but I know it once made the others squeamish. I've grown used to it, and I love that I am contributing to the next generation of partners in my world. At the end of the hot months, I will spy them among the early ice crystals and know I am part of them. I move my arm down to the sand to allow this little mother to move on, and walk through past the small rock outcrop.

Away from the rocks, the sun seems harsher, and I squint from the pain it brings my eyes. The summer months are still to come; the spring is short. I must find a quiet place to sleep again.

As I move across the dried salt plains, I shield my eyes with my robe and look out to the horizon. The next set of rocky hills are distant. When I sleep so long, all changes. Mountains rise, though the oceans are long gone. For so long here it has been just the Sunspiders and I...I sleep my seasons, awake to greet them, and walk ahead to find the next tomb, hoping I am not the only and the last doing so.

The thousands-of-days winter has led to my travelling springtime. I sleep during the blackness and cold, then again during the fiery long summers as it bakes the world. The short spring and autumn are wonderful to me as I rise again to walk.

The days are brilliant, and each step forward is a memory so many before. The tap of my feet in the dust echoes the past. The nights are my calm rest, as I stare at the stars. I remember clouds. When they existed, I ignored them except as they prevented me from seeing into the distances. I know all things move, even those stars, but I'm not able to visualize the changes that have happened since my youth, though it's been so long that they must have.

I'm not sure what to expect. I spend all these times thinking that this will be the moment when I see something left behind from when I was not alone. Yet I know that with each sleep and each cycle around the sun the chance of spotting a connection to history lessens. Apparently I am the only thing made to last forever, as even the decaying foundations of our previous civilization fade away into oddly-coloured dust, and then disappear entirely in the winds.

I don't count the days walking toward my goal. I note that it gets hotter as I move along. The spring seems shorter each time, and I wonder if next time I will remember to keep track.

And then I am at the bottom of the outcropping. I stare up, the sun behind me, looking for glints and squared shadows that might be some sign. I am not disappointed when I don't find what I did not expect to see. The next morning I climb, and move sideways around the rocks, stopping frequently to stare again. Nothing.

I climb, and seek the caves, cracks and shadows...seeking a safe place to retire. Each small shadow is a relief from the sun, but not accommodating to my form. With practised effort, I pull myself up on a ledge and stop, as everything inside me screams. From deep within me, I yell and shriek, while standing utterly motionless.

A line! A depth! The remains of an old fire! A scrap of metal! My eyes are on fire, pupils opened as wide as they can, taking this simple but incredible view deep inside me!

I clutch at my sides and shake. I cannot move forward. I cannot risk this being a mirage.

I turn away, overwhelmed with everything...and fall. With shock I don't scramble to find hold in the empty air. I watched what I have sought for so long disappearing away from me in the distance, like it were falling away from me, and the whole world shifting in my view.

I think I remember bouncing. I don't remember coming to a stop between two jagged boulders. I am broken, flesh torn and whatever has been keeping me going all this time falling apart and falling out. It's early morning and I am looking up toward the sun. Its heat shines at my eyes and I watch where I hope shadows begin to appear.

A fire glints above me. A Sunspider, an identical diamond to the ones I have known. Not quite alive, and not dead. Much like me.

Another, and another...and soon hundreds. A thousand Sunspiders above me, their scattered light twinkling on everything around me. I cannot move, but I watched. I could not begin to count them above me, as they crawl over each other, refracting each others light, sending it in all directions. The are joining, separating, and spreading across the gap above me, creating a glowing shield. It's like nothing I have seen before, and I nearly forget my state. As they lock together and slow their frenzied actions, I seem them adjust, like a ripple on a pond, and I am struck that I still remember water.

They are focusing that light, and that sun. Together, like a giant lens, and I know they are part of me from all the times I've taken care of them. A shudder, and I know. They are finishing things. With that much power together, they are taking care of me. A funeral pyre. I think I smile, as they put an end to my journey. I'll become the dust in the winds and still keep travelling this world.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize the primary source of tension in this story.

answer: The primary source of tension in this story is between the protagonist and the sunspiders. The protagonist loves the sunspiders and appreciates their role in the cycles of life and their contribution to the next generation. At the same time, however, the protagonist is reminded that the sunspiders represent the burden of their immortality and the absence of companionship. The sunspiders, representing change and inevitable mortality, create tension for the protagonist, who is haunted by the inevitable end to their own life. When the sunspiders finally create a shield of light for the protagonist's funeral and end their journey, an overwhelming feeling of peace comes over the protagonist in knowing their purpose has been achieved.

answer: It seems the entire time the narrator is at risk of believing in mirages, and of succumbing to whatever this belief would lead them to do. The risks are as follows: the depth; following a line to get out of each cave and/or dwelling; mistaking the shadows for nefarious thing or underestimating shadows that foretell actual nefarious things; fires, and metal scraps. The spiders seem to be the greatest hallucination in their number, strength, and command over the entirety of the situation.

answer:
The primary source of tension in this story is the main character's fate. He is an old man and he has been alone for what seems to be longer than imaginable. The sunspiders, his companions, die separately in their own heat. No thought is given to their longevity past one season. The main character does not age, but can still be damaged. Already he is injured from the tumble he took in this tale, after and time of hunting around deathly oven of the sunspiders joining together and using their power to send his consciousness up to near space.

Now he is at the bottom of the outcropping, leaving a tumble trail of dried blood. The Sunspiders crawl up every single night, layer each other in a ballance of multicolored light, and focus them all on the old man, setting him ablaze. The old man, in his broken state, doesn't feel horror, but even more curiousity what their actions would mean. After he dies, they all scatter, the connected light dissipates, and they disperse to lay dormant. Apparently, it all means burying the old man.

text: There is no indication from the original text that the protagonist is an old man.

answer: The primary tension of the story is a desire to understand the world and its history while simultaneously realizing that there might be nothing left to be discovered. The protagonist feels a connection to the Sunspiders, which has become their primary provider of light and power. However, as time goes on, it becomes increasingly clearer that this may be the only thing of its kind left in the world. The protagonist unexpectedly finds evidence of human remnants, but then realizes that these are likely from the past, and not the present. This leaves them feeling momentarily content, but ultimately alone and without answers. The Sunspiders then come to the rescue, providing them with a final send-off and closure.

text: The response does not mention that the Sunspiders end his life by setting him ablaze.

answer:
The primary source of tension throughout the story is that the narrator cannot locate a lost civilization (possibly). This is a source of frustration for the narrator because it is implied that this civilization may have had valuable artifacts that the narrator could collect. This is why the narrator hopes to find a remnant from before the change of human life that tried to survive. The ants are used to situate the story into the future, because the narrator wants to know if humans are still present and alive in this period, because it feels like they still have purpose.

In the last paragraphs of the story, it is revealed that the narrator has memory of water, and the setting of this story is recontextualized because the current story is conveyed in images that the protagonist absorbs and then utilizes that information to recreate images of his/her own imagining. This leads to clumps of Sunspiders becoming like a lens while they adjust to a plan and then focus the sun on the narrator. In the finale paragraph, the Sunspiders collect and focus their light to form a noose and then use the fire to carry out a funeral pyre for the narrator. So, it is implied that the Sunspiders worshipped the instructions and the performer of the rites of their own intentions.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize what this story says about seeing.

answer: This story revolves around the protagonist watching the sunspiders, and starts with the Sunspiders slowly making their way up their arm. This creates light on their skin, which causes them some pain. The Sunspiders make their way to the sand and the protagonist watches them go to make sure they get to safety. When the protagonist looks up at the horizon, there is a lack of signs to indicate anything out of the ordinary. The protagonist moves to a set of hills, contemplates the changes that have happened over time, and begins climbing them. The protagonist reaches the bottom and sees hundreds of Sunspiders creating a light shield. The protagonist sees this light as the end of their journey and watches the Sunspiders with wonder as they create a funeral pyre. This story ultimately speaks to the power and awe of seeing something beautiful.

answer: The narrator describes how they believe that when they were younger they once were able to visualize the changes that have happened, as they were able to view clouds. As they grew older, they were not able to visualize the changes any more. This means that they were not able to do so by visualizing them in their mind, as one might with a specific image like a cloud. Considering the Sunspiders were able to digest the corpse of the narrator and the Sunspiders were able to reflect enough light to help create a funeral pyre, this shows that the Sunspiders are able to manipulate the light in their bodies in ways that the narrator was no longer able to.

The narrator was in awe of the beauty of sunspiders as they sent him off with a funeral pyre.

answer: Seeing something left behind from when the narrator was not alone is one of their main hopes but the narrator does not. The narrator checks the nearby outcroppings of rocks but doesn't find anything promising. If a "past-related object" is found then the narrator might not know what to do with it. The narrator needs to find a safe place to retire.

text: The response makes no mention of sight. It could just be left blank as well since the answer is only implied and not directly mentioned in the story.

answer: This story explores the idea of seeing not just on an intellectual level but emotionally. As the protagonist watches the Sunspiders create a luminous shield above him, he reflects on his purpose in the world and the relationships he has forged over time. The Sunspiders' ability to create light that rises and falls around him shows the power of seeing to create beauty and movement even at the end. The final moment of this piece is bittersweet as he knows his journey has come to an end, not with a resolution, but with completion.

answer: First of all, this story seems to lend evidence in support of the old adage "seeing is believing". It becomes clear that one primary source of conflict is the narrator's self-admitted inability to distinguish between reality and fantasy, yet the narrator must forge a path through these treks despite what they are seeing. However, in the end, they must believe that the spiders mark their demise-whether the spiders are real or not, because there is no other way out of the cave but to become dust.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize what motivates the narrator to keep going in this story.

answer: The narrator seems driven by their sense of connection to the Sunspiders, and through that, connection to the world around them. They love the idea of contributing to the next generation and preserving themselves on a much grander scale through the Sunspiders. In their barren world, they have relied on the Sunspiders to be a focal point that connects them. When the Sunspiders begin to arrange themselves in a pattern above the narrator, they create a light show, and this final gift motivates the narrator to continue on their journey. The heat, the risk to their body, and the idea of the end being their funeral pyre keep the narrator going. Their goal is to find something that connects them to the world before, and the Sunspiders help them find an accessible connection.

answer: They have grown accustomed to the whole perpetual cycle that has been going on for a long time - it seems effortless, and to find something new, anything is surely better than the whole sands-time, the time the year for walking. They have set goals that they did not think to consider. The change to this place, and the end of the Sunspider summers, with the promise of cold and dark, must feel as if they are being fully forced to disintegrate, with every trace of their civilization wiped out by the weather, and with no record of their existence left in the world. At least they can find the next generation, and feel their parts of their own will live on. Finding a connection to the peoples of yesterday can feel so motivating, the knowledge of them persists with tangible placeholders and artifacts, recalling a visual connection to history is perpetually vague, with each sleeping cycle taking us further away from them and nearer to the indistinct shades of the civilizations that rose and fell.

answer: One part of it may be the fact that civilization has long since vanished - the narrator isn't simply stuck on Earth, but in a barren desert. We learn that the narrator has lived for an unknown amount of time, so they are used to walking and weather. The Sunspiders might be drawn to the narrator's tools, partridges that emerge out of nowhere, or other clues that there's something alive nearby. Whatever the reason, they appear to want to congregate with the Sunspiders and commune with the beasts, or else they become one.

answer: The narrator seems to be motivated to continue because they are convinced they are not alone and want to see evidence of this. However, this component might also serve to prove that they were not always alone-as in, past tense. The narrator seems to be on a journey or at least an excursion that makes them feel like the last human alive, or the last human for a long while. The goal has been to find something in the nothingness, but it turns into finding refuge.

answer: The narrator's primary motivation is curiosity. They seek out the world around them and explore, while also looking for clues of what has already been before. The passion the narrator feels for discovery keeps them going, even when they outwardly seem resigned and apathetic.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe the turning point in the story.

answer: The Sunspiders begin grouping into several large clusters. The narrator realizes they are now forming a burning shield and focusing sunlight on the narrator. Attempting to move to recieve the sunlight, they realize they are broken and rolling down a hill to the bottom of the outcropping.

answer: The turning point in the story occurs when the author discovers that a group of sunspiders are acting as a giant lens, concentrating the power of the sun to create a funeral pyre that will finally end the author's journey. This moment is a shocking realization, and serves as the catalyst for a shift in the way they understand their place in the world. The author comes to terms with their mortality and realizes their significance in the ecosystem and amongst the life that defines their place.

answer: The turning point in the story is when the protagonist sees the Sunspiders join together to create a glowing shield, using their collective light and power to provide the protagonist with a final funeral pyre. The protagonist, who all this time has been walking without purpose, finally finds closure as a result of the Sunspiders' voluntary sacrifice.

answer: The narrator is en route to finding the refuge they need from the elements when they are overtaken with what seems to be the sensation of endlessness-causing them to tumble through what might be a crevice and into a cave. This physical descent may also symbolize the descent into madness, as they become fully convinced they are seeing hundreds of spiders. Regardless of whether or not the narrator succumbs to the madness or injuries and exposure, it is clear that this is a turning point from which it might prove difficult to turn back.
