Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.
Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

This is not a mistake, they started with Black women, as always, and we told them they would come for you.
This is not a data technicality. It is a warning signal.
Black women have long functioned as an economic bellwether because they sit at the intersection of multiple labor-market pressures: public-sector employment, care work, service-sector exposure, household financial responsibility, and structural inequity in hiring, advancement, and layoffs.

When Black women begin disappearing from the labor force, the economy is not becoming stronger. It is losing capacity.
