Breitbart: Bipartisan Bill Aims to Protect AM Radio as Automakers Move to Kill It
Lawmakers propose 'AM for Every Vehicle Act' to require automakers to retain AM radios in vehicles, in response to growing trend among car manufacturers to exclude AM radio. The bill aims to compete with electric vehicle producers who have given up on the AM band due to interference with electric operating systems. The legislation has bipartisan support and is championed by Republican senators JD Vance and Ted Cruz, with backing from the FCC's Jessica Rosenworcel who cites public safety imperative for having AM radios in cars. Until the bill is approved and new vehicles are compliant, a warning sticker indicating the lack of the band is required if a car is sold without AM radios.

Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: Inflation Is Here for the Long Run
Americans are increasingly feeling the bite of inflation, with 61% reporting financial hardship due to rising costs, according to a recent Gallup poll. The longer inflation persists, the more it hurts as monthly price increases compound, reducing real incomes. The credibility of the Biden administration and Federal Reserve has been eroded by claims that inflation would be transitory, when it is likely to persist because of factors such as supply chain disruptions, decoupling from China, and increases in the cost of clean energy. Biden's nominees to the Federal Reserve lack the financial macro expertise needed to solve the problem.
Despite the retreat of inflation from the peak rate of 9.1% in June 2021, Americans are still feeling the pinch, with long-term higher inflation expected to lead to reduced real incomes and a psychological tax on those weary of rising prices. Economic growth policies may be replaced by those fostering diversity, inclusion, and equity, while the government's push toward cleaner energy will push up prices. Biden's nominees to the Federal Reserve lack the expertise needed to solve the problem. U.S. households appear to have a better understanding of the problem than Wall Street; 61% of Americans report financial hardship due to rising costs, and consumer expectations for inflation over the next few years are moving higher.
The Epoch Times: Australian Government Supports Carbon Capture and Storage Witih Scarce Funding
The Australian Federal Resources Minister, Madeleine King, has backed carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a necessary part of decarbonization efforts and a way for the industry to reach net-zero emissions. She has announced that the federal government will soon commence public consultation on a new round of greenhouse gas storage acreage. However, critics accuse CCS of being an unproven technology that distracts from actual climate action.
Woodside Energy CEO, Meg O'Neill, welcomed the decision and called for the development of a national CCS strategy and promoting Australia as a regional leader in CO2 storage. Critics, such as John Kerry, doubt whether it will be possible to implement CCS at scale, quickly, and affordably to stave off global warming. Although the industry has expertise in geological storage, the federal government has not yet announced project funding to assist with its roll-out.
The Epoch Times: San Diego to Sue SeaWorld for $12 Million in Unpaid Rent
San Diego City Council votes 8–0 to sue SeaWorld for $12 million in back rent for 2019 to 2021, including unpaid rent, late fees, and interest. City Attorney Mara Elliott says SeaWorld has refused to pay back rent on its Mission Bay leasehold and is the only city lessee to attempt to justify withholding rent due to state-mandated closures during the pandemic. SeaWorld spokesperson Tracy Saphr said the theme park’s policy does not permit them to comment on potential litigation and that they have paid over $416 million in lease payments to the city since 2010.
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria voices frustration with SeaWorld for refusing to pay fees during a budget committee meeting earlier this month. The funds could be used to help the city in many good ways, he says. SeaWorld spokesperson Tracy Saphr says the theme park’s policy does not permit them to comment on potential litigation and that they have paid over $416 million in lease payments to the city since 2010.
The Epoch Times: Payday Loans Often Come With a Higher Price Than You Want to Pay
Payday loans, also known as easy loans, payday advance, or same day loans, are high-interest, short-term loans that become debt traps for many borrowers. Predatory lenders make about 75 percent of their profits from people who borrow from them more than ten times a year. Payday loans are easy to get, but difficult to pay off, often leading to a cycle of debt.
Alternative sources of money, such as personal loans from banks or credit cards, are much safer options than payday loans. Most payday loans have interest rates ranging from 300 to 400 percent APR, and there may also be hidden fees. 20 states and Washington D.C. have passed laws to address the issue of predatory lenders, but 30 states have not yet passed any laws. If you are struggling with debt, it is important to contact a financial counselor for assistance to get out and stay out of debt.

The Epoch Times: Loneliness as Unhealthy as 15 Cigarettes a Day U.S. Surgeon General Advises
Loneliness is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to a new report from the US Surgeon General which highlights the health risks of isolation. Loneliness and social isolation are linked to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and premature death. The epidemic can weaken performance, productivity, and engagement, and reduce local participation in community activities. Lower-income adults, single parents, and under 65s are particularly vulnerable.

The Epoch Times: Top Toyota Scientist Throws Cold Water on Electric Vehicle Push
Toyota's chief scientist has warned that a sudden push towards fully electric vehicles (BEVs) may not result in a reduction of emissions and could lead to drivers holding onto their combustion-engine cars for longer. Speaking at a press conference, Gill Pratt questioned the wisdom of subsidies, noting significant shortfalls in battery production and recharging infrastructure. Instead, hybrids and other alternative-power vehicles should be prioritised, while EV technology is developed. The outgoing Chairman Akio Toyoda confirmed the firm would develop 10 BEV models by 2026, but warned of the limitations faced by the necessary growth in battery and renewable materials and infrastructure.
