Rents are rising faster than wages across the country, especially in these cities– www.cbsnews.com

Excerpt from www.cbsnews.com

Wages for the typical U.S. worker have grown since the pandemic, but for many Americans those gains are being gobbled up by rising rent.

Rents have jumped 30.4% nationwide between 2019 and 2023 while wages during that same period only grew 20.2%, according to a recent analysis from online real estate brokers Zillow and StreetEasy. Gaps between wage growth and rent increases were widest in large cities, including Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Miami, Phoenix and Tampa. Other cities where renters are feeling the tightest pinch include Baltimore, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, New York and San Diego.

The cost of renting began its sharp climb during the pandemic, as demand roared due to Americans fleeing major urban centers and opting for more space away from neighbors in the suburbs and rural areas. Rent is still increasing, housing experts say, just at a much slower pace than in recent history…

“New multifamily buildings coming online have eased competitive pressure in many markets, but in New York City construction just simply can’t keep up with demand,” Lee said in a statement.

Elon v OpenAI: judge disqualified after challenge from Musk’s lawyers | OpenAI– amp.theguardian.com

Ex-OpenAI co-founder alleges Sam Altman subverted company’s original goal of transparency, becoming a largely for-profit entity

The California judge presiding over Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, has removed himself from the case. Judge Ethan Schulman on Monday sustained a challenge from Musk’s lawyers, which cited a California state law that allows plaintiffs and defendants to remove a judge they believe cannot grant an impartial trial.

The law, known as California Code of Civil Procedure 170.6, does not require the person issuing the challenge to provide any factual basis for their claim that the judge is prejudiced against them. Each side in a case gets one such peremptory challenge, which is granted as long as it is filed with correct language and within a certain time frame.

What’s more offensive — and, for that matter, illegal? An employee calling a coworker a “gutter b****” and a “queen of the slums”? Or a CEO saying that bringing in a labor union will make the workplace “much slower” and “more bureaucratic”?

The answer is clearly the employee who racially and sexually demeaned his coworker. Yet in President Joe Biden’s administration, the CEO is the one getting punished.

On May 1, a National Labor Relations Board judge ruled that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy violated federal labor law when he said that unionization comes with downsides.

In January, the same NLRB forced Amazon to rehire a worker who insulted his colleague on the grounds that federal labor law protected him.

U.S. President Joe Biden’s bid to draw Vietnam closer as a strategic ally clashed with his desire for union workers’ votes on Wednesday as trade lawyers sparred over whether the Commerce Department should upgrade the communist-ruled country to market economy status.

The move, opposed by U.S. steelmakers, Gulf Coast shrimpers and American honey farmers, but backed by retailers and some other business groups, would reduce the punitive anti-dumping duties set on Vietnamese imports because of its current status as a non-market economy marked by heavy state influence.

Vietnam’s deepening economic ties to China loomed large in arguments on both sides of the issue at a virtual public hearing hosted by the Commerce Department as part of a review. A decision is due on July 26.

Prices in Argentina have surged so dramatically in recent months that the government has multiplied the size of its biggest bank note in circulation by five — to 10,000 pesos, worth about US$10.

The central bank announcement Tuesday promised to lighten the load for many Argentines who must carry around giant bags — occasionally, suitcases — stuffed with cash for simple transactions. Argentina’s annual inflation rate reached 287 per cent in March, among the highest in the world.

The new denomination note — five times the value of the previous biggest bill — is expected to hit the streets next month in a bid to “facilitate transactions between users,” the central bank said. The 10,000 peso note is worth US$11 at the country’s official exchange rate and US$9 at the black market exchange rate.

 

Feds Target Tesla Over Autopilot & Full Self Driving Claims– cleantechnica.com

Excerpt from cleantechnica.com

Words have consequences, especially when uttered by someone who has an enormous public following. For almost ten years, regulators have been wrangling with Elon Musk over his claims that Tesla automobiles can drive themselves with little to no input from human drivers. The name “Autopilot” has been controversial from the start, as many contend it lulls drivers into a false sense of security. Musk, in his own inimitable fashion, has refused to consider changing the name to something less controversial.

Full Self Driving implies the system is capable of Level 4 autonomous driving, which it clearly is not. It may be good, it may even be very good, but it is at best a Level 2+ system. Even Tesla admits drivers must “supervise” it, which confuses the situation even more. A year ago, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a directive that required Tesla to “recall” all of its cars sold in the US that had the “Autosteer on City Streets” feature installed (“recall” in this case meant that it had to roll out a software update). NHTSA describes the defect as follows:

A top PR executive at Chinese internet giant Baidu apologised Thursday after videos she posted online sparked accusations of toxic and abusive management and sent the firm’s shares sliding.

Qu Jing, the vice president in charge of public relations, posted a series of clips this month on video-sharing platform Douyin describing her tough treatment of junior colleagues.

“Why do I have to consider the family of an employee?” she asked in one.

“I am not her mother-in-law!”

“If your boyfriend calls you to ask about breaking up, what does it have to do with me?” Qu demanded in one clip.

“It is not my duty to know whether you are crying or not.”

In a separate clip, Qu attacks an effigy bearing the name of Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post newspaper in an apparent protest against a negative article.

She gloats in another that, while she remembered to buy gifts for colleagues, she forgot her son’s birthday.

Power companies in the AGEERA electricity generators’ association have rejected Economy Minister Luis Caputo’s proposal to use bonds to pay power wholesaler CAMMESA’s debt of over US$1 billion.

On Wednesday, the Government formalized the regime to pay CAMMESA’s debt to generator companies via resolution 58/2024 of the Energy Secretariat, which was published in the Official Gazette.

The government’s proposal, conceived by Caputo, consists of paying the debt for energy subsidies — with a 50% write-off — via a dollar-denominated bond, the AE38. This would defer overdue payments from December and January. The debt totals AR$1,100 billion (US$1.2 billion at the official rate, US$1 billion at the MEP rate), the resolution says.

US Supreme Court rules against Warner Music in copyright damages case– finance.yahoo.com

Excerpt from finance.yahoo.com

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of a Miami music producer in a legal fight with Warner Music over a song by rapper Flo Rida, resolving a dispute over the time limit for claiming monetary damages in copyright cases.

The 6-3 ruling, authored by liberal Justice Elena Kagan, affirmed a lower court’s decision that favored producer Sherman Nealy, who sued a Warner subsidiary and others in Florida federal court in 2018.

Nealy has said that his label Music Specialist owns rights to the electronic dance song “Jam the Box” by Tony Butler, also known as Pretty Tony. Warner artist Flo Rida, whose given name is Tramar Dillard, incorporated elements of “Jam the Box” into his 2008 song “In the Ayer.”

Nealy sued music publishing company Warner Chappell and others, arguing that they took an invalid license to “Jam the Box” from Butler, his former business partner, while Nealy was incarcerated for cocaine distribution. The producer requested damages for alleged copyright infringement dating back to 2008.

Bank of England edges closer to rate cut, possibly in June, as it predicts below-target inflation– abcnews.go.com

LONDON — The Bank of England maintained its key U.K. interest rate at a 16-year high of 5.25% though it gave a broad hint that a reduction could be on the cards as soon as June as inflation is forecast to fall below target.

In a statement Thursday, the bank’s nine-member Monetary Policy Committee voted 7-2 to keep rates unchanged, with the 2 dissenters backing a quarter-point reduction. Last time, only one member voted for a quarter-point cut.

Like the U.S. Federal Reserve last week, which also kept rates, on hold the majority on the panel wanted to see more evidence that inflation is under control.

The increase in the number of those backing a U.K. rate reduction is a clear indication that there is a shifting balance on the committee in favor of cuts.

Georgia Trump Case Could Be Tossed If Willis Is Disqualified– thefederalist.com

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

The Georgia Court of Appeals will consider former President Donald Trump’s appeal of a ruling that allows disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain principal prosecutor in the state election case. If Trump prevails, the case against the presumptive GOP presidential nominee could end as Democrats’ multi-case lawfare campaign continues to fall apart six months before the election.

In March, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee determined Willis, the embattled prosecutor who faced disqualification for an inappropriate relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, could continue to lead the state effort to imprison Trump for opposing election changes in 2020. The judge ruled Willis could remain on the case as long as Wade stepped down from the probe after the government paid more than $650,000 to Wade’s law firm over two years. Willis and Wade allegedly spent money ostensibly meant for Trump’s prosecution on lavish vacations to the Bahamas, Aruba, Belize, and Napa Valley.

Defendants in Willis’s politicized Georgia show trials earlier moved to have the Fulton County DA removed from the case, alleging an inappropriate affair with Wade before Willis’s office hired him. Willis and Wade denied the allegations. The district attorney testified in February that she reimbursed Wade for her share of the costs incurred on their trips together. When pressed in court on proof of reimbursement, Willis declared, “The proof is what I just told you.”

House Committee Report Finds Widespread ‘Misconduct’ In Union Elections By Government Labor Board– dailycaller.com

Excerpt from dailycaller.com

The National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) expansion of mail ballot elections has led to widespread mismanagement, misconduct and procedural irregularities by the agency, according to a report released Thursday by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

The NLRB issued a decision in November 2020 expanding regional agency directors’ ability to order that union elections operate by mail rather than the traditional manual ballot due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the decision, voter turnout has decreased while both institutional issues, like employees interfering in elections, and integrity issues, like inappropriate voter solicitation and the number of lost or voided ballots, have increased, according to the report.

The investigation spawned as a result of a former NLRB employee cooperating with the committee to detail instances covering 15 different NLRB regions and 33 representation cases, according to the report.

“Through blatant misconduct that resulted in the disenfranchisement of workers participating in union elections, the NLRB has outright corrupted its once gold standard of secret ballot, onsite elections,” Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx said in a statement to the DCNF. “By broadening its own authority and instituting a series of administrative changes that emboldened its own cadre of regional directors, the agency took risks that alienated voters. As this report makes clear, the NLRB’s administration of mail ballot elections has become deeply fraught with procedural misconduct and gross irregularities.”

Former President Donald Trump called for unity after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) forced a vote on her motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday. He called on House Republicans and Johnson to unify and have discipline going into the 2024 election.

After Greene went to the floor with the motion to vacate Johnson, which was later killed in a vote to table, Trump posted his response to Truth Social.

“I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s got Spirit, she’s got Fight, and I believe she’ll be around, and on our side, for a long time to come. However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the Radical Left Democrats, and all the Damage they have done to our Country,” he said.

“With a Majority of One, shortly growing to three or four, we’re not in a position of voting on a Motion to Vacate. At some point, we may very well be, but this is not the time,” Trump added. “We are leading in the Presidential Polls by a lot, both Nationally and in the Swing States.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) finds herself facing a renewed wave of opposition as House Republicans prepared a second censure resolution on Tuesday over anti-Semitic remarks. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) initiated the resolution in response to Omar’s comments at Columbia University, where she referred to Jewish students as “pro-genocide.”

This comes as a series of criticisms aimed at Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, over her rhetoric surrounding Israel and Jewish people. The four-page resolution aims to reprimand Omar for her “recent hateful comments and history of antisemitism.”

“She is perpetuating and increasing antisemitism in our country,” Bacon said after submitting the resolution. “The House of Representatives needs to take a strong stand and condemn these divisive and racist remarks that she has made, and those who continue to excuse her egregious behavior must stop.”

Bragg’s prosecution of Trump violates this important legal doctrine– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt from www.washingtonexaminer.com

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is prosecuting former President Donald Trump for unlawful federal political contributions and the subsequent concealment of those contributions. However, it is the Federal Election Commission, not the Manhattan DA, that is charged by Congress with enforcing federal campaign laws.

By taking federal law into his own hands, Bragg is way out of order. What’s more, he has run afoul of a somewhat obscure but vital doctrine created by the Supreme Court specifically to prevent such prosecutorial overreach.

This rule, known as the “primary jurisdiction doctrine,” says that a court should stay or dismiss a claim when it implicates issues within the special competence of a federal administrative agency. In this case, federal campaign finance violations are within the special competence of the FEC, not the Manhattan DA. Thus, the right thing to do is for Bragg to defer to the federal government on statutes it enforces.

Chicago will host the 2024 Democratic National Convention from August 19 to 22.

Chicago also has a ton of illegal aliens since it is a sanctuary city.

Optics are everything in politics. Could this be why Mayor Brandon Johnson wanted to open a new illegal alien shelter on the South Side?

Alderman Nicole Lee of the 11th Ward balked at the idea, especially after reading between the lines:

A large empty building nestled between two sets of railroad tracks in an 11th Ward industrial area on the South Side was under consideration to house migrants.

Last week, the Johnson administration informed Alderman Nicole Lee the plan was to move 900 new arrivals out of the Standard Club in the Loop into a new location

“In our initial conversion, there was mention of the DNC. And, like, the timing of it all felt a little odd to me. I don’t, first of all, I don’t think that we should be moving people to hide them. I hope that’s not what the actual case is,” Lee said.

Excerpt from conservativeroof.com

A fresh proposal from House Republicans aims to mandate that anyone charged and found guilty of engaging in illegal activity on a college campus be sent to Gaza for a minimum of six months.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, unveiled the bill on Wednesday, joined by fellow Republican Representatives Randy Weber of Texas and Jeff Duncan of South Carolina. The move comes in reaction to the continued protests against Israel taking place on college campuses throughout the nation.


Some of these protests have escalated into violence, resulting in confrontations between law enforcement and demonstrators, along with the arrest of hundreds of activists on numerous college campuses.

Ogles’ bill text doesn’t explicitly reference Israel or anti-Israel organizations. Instead, it focuses squarely on illegal behavior occurring on college campuses after October 7, 2023, a date marked by the surprise invasion of Israel by Hamas militants, resulting in the tragic loss of over 1,000 lives.

Barron Trump, former President Trump’s youngest son, was named a Florida delegate for this year’s Republican National Convention, marking the 18-year old’s debut into politics.

Barron will serve as one of the 41 at-large GOP delegates to represent Florida at the July convention, where the party is expected to officially nominate his father as its presidential candidate to run against President Biden in November, Republican Party of Florida chairman Evan Power confirmed to The Associated Press.

Trump, who turned 18 earlier this year, joins three of the former president’s other children — Donald Trump Jr., Eric and Tiffany — who were also selected as delegates. NBC News first reported Barron’s selection as a delegate Wednesday.

The Hill reached out to the Florida GOP for further comment.

“We are fortunate to have a great group of grassroots leaders, elected officials, and members of the Trump family working together as part of the Florida delegation to the 2024 Republican National Convention,” Power said in an emailed statement to the AP.

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

Millions of illegal immigrants have poured through the U.S. southwest border since Joe Biden took the presidential oath of office in January 2021. By design.

Contrary to the sentiments of the vast majority of Americans, Biden and congressional Democrats would very much like these “newcomers” to be able to vote — in November’s election, if possible. At least enough to keep the empty-vessel Democrat who currently occupies the White House for another four years. And they’re not going to let a little thing like the rule of law stand in their way.

Congressional Republicans are looking to check the left’s illegal inclinations.

“There is currently an unprecedented and a clear and present danger to the integrity of our election system, and that is the threat of noncitizens and illegal aliens voting in our elections,” Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said during opening statements Wednesday at a Capitol steps press conference.

Surrounded by lawmakers and election integrity watchdogs, Johnson laid out the case for urgent passage of the newly unveiled Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, aimed at shoring up glaring holes in the 30-year-old National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) passed during a simpler time, when politicians believed in borders. The bill would amend the 1993 “Motor Voter” law to require individuals to provide proof of citizenship before they are automatically registered to vote at state departments of motor vehicles and other agencies. It also requires states to remove foreign nationals from their voting rolls, something too many state election officials have been loath to do. The NVRA does not require direct proof of citizenship for voter registration.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has descended into the seventh circle of public relations hell. It’s entirely her doing. The woman who some had tapped to be on the shortlist for Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate wrote in her memoir, No Going Back, that she shot and killed her dog Cricket after his allegedly vicious demeanor left her with no choice. The dog was trash at pheasant hunting and then went on a rampage, killing chickens belonging to Noem’s neighbor.

Noem is adamant that Cricket wasn’t a puppy, as initially reported, and she chose her family’s safety above all else. It’s an unforced error—did she really need to share this story? People love dogs and hate dog killers. It’s not that hard. Based on what’s been reported on how Cricket was dealt with, I think of the scene in The Walking Dead, except it’s Noem telling Cricket to “look at the flowers.”

BIDEN’S RED LINE: In an interview that aired on CNN last night, President Joe Biden drew a stark red line in his dispute with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s plans to launch a full-scale assault on Rafah to finish off Hamas.

Too many civilians have been killed in Gaza “as a consequence” of U.S.-supplied bombs “and other ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “I have made it clear to Bibi and the war cabinet. They’re not going to get our support if, in fact, they’re going into these population centers.”

“They haven’t gone into Rafah yet,” Biden said. “If they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah. … It’s just wrong. We’re not going to supply the weapons and the artillery shells that have been used.”

“We’re going to continue to make sure Israel is secure, in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks like came out of the Middle East recently,” Biden said, indicating the flow of defensive weapons would be unaffected. “We’re not walking away from Israel’s security. We’re walking away from Israel’s ability to wage war in those areas.”

“The cost of buying a home in the United States is double what it was when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office. Economic growth last week, far short of expectations. Consumer confidence, maybe no surprise, is near a two-year low,” Burnett told the president. “With less than six months to go to election day, are you worried that you’re running out of time to turn that around?”
