Liam Dann: No more economic booms - RBNZ’s grim warning as productivity woes come to a headSira Thienou scores 16 points, No. 18 Ole Miss women coast to 89-24 win over Alabama StateWASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump announced his choices to lead two of the country’s top public health agencies late Friday, as well as his pick for surgeon general. Former Florida Congressman Dave Weldon will be tapped to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Marty Makary will be nominated for commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and Fox News medical contributor Dr. Janette Nesheiwat was put forward as the next surgeon general. All three positions require Senate confirmation. Trump wrote in his announcement for Makary that he would “work under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to, among other things, properly evaluate harmful chemicals poisoning our Nation’s food supply and drugs and biologics being given to our Nation’s youth, so that we can finally address the Childhood Chronic Disease Epidemic.” Makary is a surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland. His biography says he “has published over 250 peer-reviewed scientific articles and has served on several editorial boards.” “Dr. Makary served in leadership at the World Health Organization Patient Safety Program and has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine,” according to his biography. “Clinically, Dr. Makary is the chief of Islet Transplant Surgery at Johns Hopkins. He is the recipient of the Nobility in Science Award from the National Pancreas Foundation and has been a visiting professor at over 25 medical schools.” Makary wrote an op-ed published by The Wall Street Journal in February 2021, sharing his prediction that the COVID-19 pandemic would mostly be over by April, which he said was “based on laboratory data, mathematical data, published literature and conversations with experts. But it’s also based on direct observation of how hard testing has been to get, especially for the poor.” COVID-19 did not end by April 2021. In fact, it went on to kill thousands more Americans. “Some medical experts privately agreed with my prediction that there may be very little Covid-19 by April but suggested that I not to talk publicly about herd immunity because people might become complacent and fail to take precautions or might decline the vaccine,” Makary wrote at the time. “But scientists shouldn’t try to manipulate the public by hiding the truth. As we encourage everyone to get a vaccine, we also need to reopen schools and society to limit the damage of closures and prolonged isolation. Contingency planning for an open economy by April can deliver hope to those in despair and to those who have made large personal sacrifices.” In prepared remarks to the House Select Subcommittee on the Covid Pandemic in May 2023, he wrote that “Nothing speaks more to the intellectual dishonesty of public health leaders than their complete dismissal of natural immunity. They never talked about it.” Trump wrote in his statement announcing Makary as his pick for FDA that the agency had “lost the trust of Americans, and has lost sight of its primary goal as a regulator.” He added that Makary would “course-correct and refocus the Agency.” FDA pick spearheaded ban Weldon was instrumental in codifying into law the “Weldon Patent Ban,” which makes a permanent prohibition on patenting human embryos, something that Trump noted in his statement. “Dave has successfully worked with the CDC to enact a ban on patents for human embryos,” Trump said in a statement. In 2011, the ban was signed into law by former President Barack Obama in the America Invents Act, and made permanent after Weldon left Congress. His colleagues named it after him because of his advocacy on the issue. “In addition to being a Medical Doctor for 40 years, and an Army Veteran, Dave has been a respected conservative leader on fiscal and social issues,” Trump said in a statement. Weldon, 71, served in Congress from 1995 until 2009, when he retired. He is a former physician and if confirmed by the Senate, will now head a roughly $17 billion agency that is tasked with responding to emerging health threats. Surgeon general Trump wrote in his nomination for Nesheiwat that she “is a fierce advocate and strong communicator for preventive medicine and public health.” “She is committed to ensuring that Americans have access to affordable, quality healthcare, and believes in empowering individuals to take charge of their health to live longer, healthier lives,” Trump added. According to her biography, Nesheiwat graduated from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and is a double board-certified medical doctor practicing in New York. She “brings a refreshingly no-nonsense attitude to the latest medical news, breaking down everything you need to know to keep you — and your family — healthy at all times,” according to her website’s biography. Nesheiwat is the medical director at CityMD, which is a network of urgent care centers in New York and New Jersey. States Newsroom is a nonprofit news organization whose members include N.H.

This was the result of a revision to the U.S. personal savings rate by the BEA. Of course, the money only ever existed in a government-published report. But the original “bullish” data was widely cited as a sign that all was well with the economy. In truth, Americans are burning through their savings at a rapid pace. During the pandemic citizens reached record savings levels due to stimulus checks and programs, but since then all those excess savings have been burned through. Biden’s inflationary and anti-growth policies have taken their toll. U.S. credit card debt recently surpassed $1.14 trillion, a new record, while growing at unprecedented speed. Compounding the problem, APRs on credit card debt are also at record highs, well over 20% on average, with certain cards reaching APRs of over 33%. That’s not far away from payday loan APRs. And it’s not just American savings data that has been manipulated to appear healthier than it truly is. New home sales data for the U.S. over the summer was also recently revised sharply downwards. Payroll data and job openings have also been revised downward this fall. All sorts of bullish economic beats have been quietly revised to misses . It appears that the Biden administration broadly exaggerated economic statistics in an attempt to make the economy appear healthier than it truly was. Strangely, these data corrections don’t get nearly as much attention as the original (incorrect) reporting did. Once the “good” headline number comes out, traders and algorithms react immediately to the news. But they largely ignore subsequent bearish revisions, which don’t get nearly as much coverage in the news. It’s just the way the world works. When investors want to see positive economic data, they’ll find it. But eventually, the country will have to address these underlying issues head-on. Fortunately, we will soon have a competent leader in the White House to do so. A Renewed Sense of Purpose If this economy was a game of poker, Donald Trump would have been dealt a 2-7 off suit. It’s a bad hand, statistically speaking. But I believe that the Trump administration will, in time, overcome the subpar cards they were dealt. President Trump is set to cut red tape, eliminate waste, and make smart infrastructure investments. These aspects alone will have a highly significant impact on our financial outlook. Moreover, since the election, there’s a renewed sense of purpose in the country. Investors and business people understand how important this outcome was for the country. Before Trump’s win, there was widespread malaise throughout the country. There simply wasn’t much cause for optimism. Now the nation feels reinvigorated. The country is excited about the idea of Elon and Vivek’s DOGE slashing government waste. The people want to see widespread agency corruption ended. And when was the last time you saw this much attention paid to cabinet picks? Never. Americans have finally re-engaged with their government. This morale boost will be immensely helpful as we work through these headwinds. In economics, attitude matters almost as much as fundamentals. I still expect a recession to hit soon, if we’re not already in it, due to the Biden administration’s economic fumbles. It remains to be seen just how bad things might get in the short run. In terms of Trump’s policy plan, the new tariffs will encourage foreign companies to manufacture in the U.S. It’s simple: if you want to sell to America, set up shop here and create jobs. Trump made some progress on this during his first term, but now that the GOP has control of Congress and a mandate from the American people, it should be a smoother process this time around. Tariffs can also be a powerful bargaining tool, as Trump has already shown with Canada and Mexico. Importantly, Trump’s team understands that it is impossible to tax our way out of this situation. The only path forward is to grow the economy faster than the debt. Once we turn that corner, the problem begins to address itself. I’m not saying it’s going to be all smooth sailing. True reform is always a challenging process. There will almost certainly be more inflation on the horizon (but not nearly as bad as if Kamala had won). This is an unavoidable consequence of decades of reckless government spending. Still, the outlook for the nation has improved dramatically since November 5th. We have a rare chance to make meaningful, lasting change in America. It’s exciting to see it finally taking shape.Is Enron back? If it’s a joke, some former employees aren’t laughing

The Kolkata police on Sunday (November 24, 2024) arrested Bikash Mishra, accused in the coal smuggling scam case being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The arrest comes at a time when the process of framing of charges in the multi-crore scam has commenced before a special CBI court at Asansol in West Burdwan district. The accused was arrested on the complaint of a minor and was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Bikash Mishra, brother of key accused Vinay Mishra, was arrested by the CBI in 2021 and was later granted bail. The accused was sent to judicial custody for a day, and while being taken out of the court in a prison van, he claimed that his life was in danger. Bikash Mishra said that “the government’s future will be at stake” if he spoke out. Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee was questioned by the CBI in connection with the coal pilferage scam. In July 2022, the CBI filed the first charge-sheet in the coal pilferage scam against 41 persons, accusing them of “fraudulently misappropriating coal from the coal reserve of leasehold areas under the dominion of ECL (Eastern Coalfields Limited) and also from the coal stock parked in the railway sidings for sale and supply”. Subsequently, two more charge-sheets were filed by the agency, and the number of accused stood at 50. Mr. Banerjee was not named in the charge-sheet, which pressed charges against former General Managers, former Chief Managers, and former security and other officials of the ECL. One of the prime accused is the still absconding TMC leader Vinay Mishra, brother of Bikash Mishra. The framing of charges is likely to conclude in the next few days. There are a total of 396 witnesses in the case. Published - November 24, 2024 10:54 pm IST Copy link Email Facebook Twitter Telegram LinkedIn WhatsApp Reddit West Bengal / Kolkata / India
