Green Desk: Unions Hate Biden’s EV Push
“Alliance Between United Auto Employees And Former President Trump On Electric Vehicles Threatens” ‘Alliance Between Union And Democratic Party’ notes Nathan Bomey of Axios, with the UAW “stopping support for Biden’s 2024 campaign.” Already “one in three UAW members voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020.” And “UAW President Shawn Fain cheated” Biden after “The Department of Energy announced a $9.2 billion loan to Ford to construct battery factories within the South” because “electric vehicle factories won’t employ as many individuals as traditional assembly plants’ and possibly ‘lower wages in latest battery joint ventures’. Because “Democrats need the Midwest to keep up political power, the president’s commitment to promoting electric vehicles tests his support amongst longtime allies
China defeated: Base in Cuba = Global takeover
“It has long been clear that China and Cuba, among the many few remaining communist countries, see the US as a typical enemy.” warns Miles Yu in The Wall Street Journal — hence China’s “using Cuba for eavesdropping and military training”, a “espionage effort” that began “after the collapse of the Soviet Union.” “The influx of Chinese weapons into Cuba is a direct violation of countless U.S. sanctions,” at the same time as “Chinese wiretapping efforts” goal Florida, “which has one in every of the biggest concentrations of U.S. military facilities and commands within the country.” “For the past 20 years, each political parties have been deliberately indolent about this threat.” So “American leaders of all political persuasions” must “get up to it.” “Now’s time to start out.”
Economic Watch: Fed Regs are bleeding Americans dry
The prices of the brand new Biden-era federal regulations – implemented “at a rate that outpaced that of the Obama administration” – “are nearly $10,000 per household” economist Casey Mulligan reports for the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. And if “regulatory costs proceed to rise at the identical pace as throughout the Obama administration, Biden’s total regulatory costs over eight years could be nearly $60,000 per household.” In contrast, 4 years of Trump’s regulatory moves “reduced regulatory costs by nearly $11,000 per household.” Oh, and Biden’s federal agencies underestimated the actual cost of their rulemaking by about 256%. “Government regulation often is the biggest single barrier to prosperity.
Gadfly: Schumer & Co. versus democracy
Senator Chuck “Schumer’s disappointment at having to talk and vote to forgive lots of of billions of dollars in loans says quite a bit concerning the decline of our constitutional values” impresses Jonathan Turley in The Hill. The Supreme Court’s rejection of President Biden’s “ridiculous” student loan “was no surprise” as each Biden and Nancy Pelosi said it will be an unconstitutional seizure of power by Congress. Nonetheless, now “Schumer and his associates” say they “view support for their power as an act of constitutional ‘cruelty’.” It’s an “interesting position for those that have campaigned to guard ‘democracy’ because they at the moment are urging presidents ‘to avoid presenting this vital agenda to Congress because they know the bulk would oppose it.’
Libertarian: Blame the Feds for the Air Travel Blues
“It’s an old one-job meme that is ruining hundreds of vacation plans, business trips, and family reunions this time around.” growls Matt Welch of Reasoncommenting that the Federal Aviation Administration doesn’t have “enough air traffic controllers to satisfy consumer demand for air travel, especially within the Recent York City area.” He quotes an article by Reason’s transport policy chief Robert Poole for The Post: ATC shouldn’t be “dwelled within the federal bureaucracy” but treated as “public use”: “Today, air traffic control is provided by ATC tools in 83 countries, including Canada, whose system has newer and higher technology than the FAA.” Until the agency hires more people in three states, warns Welch, “expect hundreds of cancellations and much more rage on social media.” “And as at all times, blame the feds.”
