Biden's vaccine/test mandate for large employers to take effect January 4: wsj.com/articles/emplo…
OSHA factsheet: osha.gov/sites/default/…
Includes ALL employers, no matter the industry (or health nexus) BUT excludes isolated/remote/outdoor workers (assuming they work that way 100% of the time)
Also note: the mandate is expressly intended to protect "Unvaccinated Workers" from "Grave Danger" - grave danger that they themselves could easily choose to avoid with... a vaccine that they choose not to take.

The NextDoor NIMBYs are now worrying that shadowy out-of-state corporations are buying up all the houses around here so that they can... change local zoning laws and build large, multifamily buildings near their original investments?
Me, every time I read this stuff
p.s. yes, someone did bring up Bill Gates in the thread (buying land, not vax-chipping us)

What kind of snake is this, Twitter? Brown snake? Image
Update: it is very dangerous. We have therefore captured it and are in the process of mailing it to @JonahDispatch and/or @MrJoshPerry
Just kidding, you guys. The 8YO has named him Bob and is looking for dead bugs (and/or live pundits) to feed him.

Whether this is an improvement will depend on the duty-free quantities. If low, it's just replacing one type of restriction w another, more administratively burdensome one. That the USW "applauded" the deal doesn't give me much optimism.
(P.s. Unless the quantities are high, the EU totally caved.)
P.p.s. I actually have experience working w the other 232 TRQs that the Trump admin put in place for certain countries. They are insanely complicated & onerous.

In other words, an very merry early Christmas to my fmr trade lawyer colleagues.

Classic example of why protectionists often win the political debate: a single Indiana steel mill closure in 2017 gets a book & NPR feature, while everyone ignores the broader trends in Indiana's economy & manufacturing sector npr.org/2021/10/20/104… ImageImageImageImage
They also ignore the flipside of imports/offshoring - all the foreign investment in Indiana, including (especially) in manufacturing ImageImageImage
I guess there's no market for a book abt this (or my awesome, Indiana-made Subaru - which def benefited from lower, pre-tariff steel prices, btw) ibj.com/articles/globa… ImageImage

"Lazy crane operators making $250,000 a year exacerbating port crisis, truckers say" news.yahoo.com/lazy-crane-ope…
"one terminal in Long Beach has started using automated cranes, and truckers rejoice when they are summoned to pick up cargo there. It is efficient and quick." 🤔
Reminder: "the unions have for years fought efforts to automate ports on both the West and East coasts—just as they fought containerized shipping and computers decades before that."

cato.org/commentary/ame…
Another reminder: the truckers (Teamsters, at least) aren't exactly blameless in all this too, having opposed NAFTA trucking liberalization (and thus limiting US capacity) for decades...
