Trump's Filthy, Unhealthy Properties Are About To Get Filthier And Less Healthy

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 56 seconds ago
Trump is a danger to public health... I think we all know that already. But so are his various businesses. Trump's hotels, restaurants and resorts are frequently cited for health and safety violations-- rodent droppings, cockroaches, mice, filth, unsanitary conditions, feces everywhere, bed bugs. Examples: *•* In 1988, Trump was fined $300 by the City of New York for a sidewalk shed outside Trump Tower that was not up to code. *•* In 2003, the Trump organization was cited by the New York City Department of Buildings for failure to maintain an elevator. *•* In 2004, Trump Palace wa... more »

Negotiating Big Legislative Deals

David Super at Balkinization - 1 hour ago
With furious negotiations under way about a third coronavirus response bill, this seemed a good time to discuss how titanic legislation of this kind is produced. Much of the commentary about these negotiations (and others that have gone before) is so oversimplified as to be highly misleading. I will focus primarily on three aspects of this process: how hierarchy shapes the eventual content, how special interest groups’ views influence the outcome, and how having a president who feels unbound by conventional norms affects the outcome.

Australia Wants A Long-Range Strike Capability, But That Comes With Risks

Sam Roggeveen at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Sam Roggeveen* *Security, Asia* China has taken notice. In his recent two–part *Strategist* series, ASPI’s Marcus Hellyer made the case for Australia developing a long-range strike capability. I disagree, but my counterargument is not absolute: Australia ought to have the ability to sink ships thousands of kilometres from our shores, but we should renounce the ability to hit land targets at long range. The strategic weight of Australia and its ally the United States is diminishing in relative terms. The main reason is China, whose military rise will ensure that the US will ceas... more »

Poison Policy: An Unfair Housing Regulation Leftover from the Obama Era Creates Unnecessary Chaos

It’s trying to modify an onerous Obama-era regulation that would take over local zoning instead of just getting rid of the regulation in its entirety.

*David Axe* *Security, Europe* “All would rise before dawn, wash and clean their teeth with their finger, but airmen usually did not shave, then walk to the mess for breakfast of tea or coffee, rolls or black bread, sometimes with sausage, then go to the airfield.” The Eastern Front was the decisive theater of World War II in Europe.

There Was Strong Competition Among U.S. Airlines Before the Coronavirus Pandemic

Scott Ganz at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Scott Ganz* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] The collective hand-wringing over airline mergers demonstrates exactly why aggregate measures of industry concentration are a misleading proxy for consumer welfare and, as a result, why new government regulations on airlines are unlikely to make consumers better off. Government restrictions on air travel and passenger fears about catching COVID-19 have led to a historic collapse in the demand for air travel. The International Air Transport Association estimates that the pandemic could lead to industry-wide losses in excess of $110... more »
