Breitbart: Establishment Promises Economic Chaos in DeSantis' Florida After Exit of Illegals
Democrats and progressive activists are criticizing Florida's new law to exclude illegal migrants, claiming that it will damage the state's economy and should be boycotted. However, supporters of the law argue that it will actually raise Americans' wages, spur investment, and slow the rising cost of housing. Pro-migrant media outlets are amplifying the criticism, but DeSantis is on safe political ground given that strong majorities of Americans want better protection from illegal migration. The partisan battle is being fueled, in part, by DeSantis' planned campaign for presidency.

The Epoch Times: Myanmar Says Official Death Toll From Cyclone Mocha at Least 145, Says Aid Is Being Provided
Cyclone Mocha struck Myanmar, causing 145 deaths, including 117 members of the Rohingya minority. The military-controlled government disputes unofficial death tolls of over 400, but exact figures are uncertain due to communication disruption and the government's control over information. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that millions of people are affected, and a massive effort is underway to provide shelter and clear debris in the worst-hit northwest region of Rakhine state. Rohingya are denied basic citizenship rights and have lived in Myanmar for generations, but official reports use the term "Bengali" to suggest they entered the country illegally. International aid is needed to support the region's health care, water treatment, and sanitation.

The Epoch Times: Business SA Backs Tax Cut for Regional Companies
South Australia's peak business group, Business SA, has called for regional businesses to receive a 50% discount on payroll tax to ease costs and increase competitiveness. The group's submission ahead of the upcoming South Australian budget argued that payroll tax is one of the most limiting state-based taxes, with businesses in regional areas paying significantly more than their counterparts across the border in Victoria. Business SA proposed that a discount be given to companies in regional areas where at least 85% of its staff lived and worked within the area, estimating that over 700 regional enterprises could benefit.

Townhall: Technological Advancements: For the Good or the Doom of Society?
The American Psychological Association released a health advisory on social media use in adolescence. The report offers 10 recommendations involving various forms of monitoring and technical adaptations to accentuate the positive effects. We don't need social media, and the APA report doesn't question whether it needs to be a "given" part of children's lives. AI is also in its infancy, but we blindly allow technology companies to make us their test subjects just as we did with social media. We need to consider how our use of social media and other technology platforms is detaching us from reality. The APA's recommendations assume that social media will continue as part of our collective life, but we need to be sure we are thinking beyond social media use to other aspects of life.
