I love the Government's thinking on infrastructure planning.  It wants us to have a 30-year plan for big projects that politicians, generally, wouldn't be able to muck around with. Which, of course, would give us all a lot of certainty.  It would also give the people who invest their own money in infrastructure certainty, as well.  So a great idea. Because we are seeing right now how hopeless we have become at long-term infrastructure planning, and the consequences seem to be coming at us left, right and centre.  The inter-island ferries, electricity infrastructure, the state of our roads. The band-aid approach has got us in this mess.  Not to mention all the political pipedreams and political interference. So, why wouldn't you try and get a long-term plan that everyone pretty much signs up to? It's a no-brainer.    And, to try and make it happen, the Government is setting-up a new National Infrastructure Agency.  Where I see it coming unstuck, though, is getting the politicians to agree on a 30-year plan.  Even on the day it was announced, we had Labour complaining that they weren't given enough warning or weren't consulted enough before the Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop told the world about it yesterday.  And the Green Party's Infrastructure spokesperson Julie Anne Genter is saying a 30-year-plan is great - as long as it puts the environment front right and centre.  So, chances are, we'll have all the parties sitting in a room trying to agree and we'll have National wanting more motorways, Labour wanting more trains and the Greens wanting more cycleways.  This is where I see the Government's idea coming unstuck. Which shouldn't be the case because, in other countries, politicians have managed to do what Chris Bishop wants to do.  Across the ditch in New South Wales, they set-up Infrastructure New South Wales 13 years ago.  Back in 2011, the then-state government decided long-term infrastructure projects were too important to be left to the whims of the political cycle, and it seems to have served them well.  Since being set-up, Infrastructure New South Wales has helped deliver projects such as the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, planning of WestConnex and traffic management around Sydney Airport and Port Botany.   It's also been involved heavily in the new metro system in Sydney which opened the other week - and people seem to be raving about it.  And I suspect the plans by the government here to set-up a National Infrastructure Agency follows Chris Bishop's recent trip to Australia with the Prime Minister, Transport Minister Simeon Brown and Resources Minister Shane Jones.  But I don't think Chris Bishop is going to get what he wants.   Because —even though it's been done in other countries— I have zero faith that our politicians can agree on this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, hosts Simon Montague, Director of Corporate Affairs, and David Quam, Senior US Advisor to GIIA, provide insights from Washington DC during Infrastructure Week and discuss the significance of its role in advocating for increased investment in American infrastructure. They also delve into highlights of the recently launched report by the American Society of Civil Engineers, which emphasises the importance of forward-looking policies and public-private collaboration, to enable the US to remain as the top destination for global infrastructure investment. The episode also features an interview with Giancarlo Peressutti from IFM Investors, who reflects on the tangible progress made during this year's Infrastructure Week, as well as Sia Kusha from Plenary Americas, discussing the effectiveness of the bipartisan infrastructure bills and the crucial decisions Congress faces as they approach expiration.

When Congress passed the so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure law two years ago, it also strengthened buy-American requirements for construction projects. Now the final guidance is out from the White House on the BABA part of the law, Build American, Buy American.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Alex Pareene, Contributing Editor at the New Republic and proprietor of the AP newsletter on Substack, to round up the week in news. Then they are joined by comedian and writer Adam Conover to give an update on the WGA writers strike. First, Sam runs through updates on the debt ceiling, labor updates across the US, Biden's student loan forgiveness, Georgia's Trump investigation, and Ron DeSantis' continuing embarrassments, also touching on the Right's most recent super secret documents that will definitely nail the Biden family this time! Alex Pareene then dives right into assessing how much this debt ceiling could've been avoided if Democrats weren't obsessed with publicity and crisis politics and had just passed it in December, walking through the myriad legislative shortcomings from Biden and Democratic leadership since the first separation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill from Build Back Better. Alex and Sam wrap up by tackling the GOP primary, and whether every single Republican hopeful might just be praying for a Trump conviction. Adam Conover then talks Sam through updates on the writers' strike as it reaches its fifth week, tackling the scope of the issues – from the gigification of the job to the labor threat of AI – and exploring why the Film and TV CEOs are so intent on breaking age-old norms of how to make good products just to save a few bucks. Wrapping up, Adam walks through the Guild's proposals and the value of both intra-union and inter-union solidarity. And in the Fun Half: Sam and the MR Crew discuss Trump's claims that going-anti-woke makes you go broke, admire Donald's fine tiptoeing of the vaccine-denial line, and explore Chick-Fil-A's decision to go woke! Markwayne Mullin boldly asks “Why not just replace actual education with religion,” and Redford in Dallas parses through an upcoming real estate crisis, plus, your calls and IMs!

President Biden is urging Congress to work together on the nation's most difficult issues. That was one of the major themes from his State of the Union address last night. During his speech, the President touted some of his legislative wins like the Bipartisan Infrastructure law and the PACT Act to help veterans. For this priorities this year, he called on Congress to tackle police reform, gun violence and taxes on billionaires. We breakdown the major highlights and what major issues Congress will have to tackle together soon.

The Wharton Current welcomes Christine Harada, Wharton alum and Executive Director of the Federal Permitting Council, to discuss the implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill and the IRA. Along the way we get political and even a bit philosophical, discussing her career, the value of working in the public sector, and her perspective on the importance of being engaged in civic life as a business leader.

Sam hosts Brian Callaci, Chief Economist at the Open Markets Institute, to discuss his recent piece in Dissent Magazine "Inflation Is No Excuse For Squeezing Workers." Then, Sam is joined by Ilana Marcucci-Morris, a Kaiser Permanente mental health therapist, to discuss recent efforts by her and her colleagues to strike and organize for better working conditions. First, Sam walks through updates from yesterday's primaries in Alaska and Wyoming (with Liz Cheney losing in the latter), and the continued suppression of reproductive rights in Florida and Louisiana, before diving deep into the official signing of the IRA into law, and the lingering peril around Manchin's side deal – especially as progressives (see: Rashida Tlaib) reflect on how Manchin hustled them out of their side deal with the Bipartisan Infrastructure package. Then, Brian Callaci joins as he gets right into situating us within the current inflation discourse, walking through the conventional wisdom that is backing the mainstream media's rhetoric (blaming wages, low unemployment, etc), and how that is juxtaposed with the actual nature of our current moment, with inflation hitting globally despite each county's unique levels of wage stagnation and domestic monetary policy. Parsing through these contrasts, Callaci and Sam walk to discuss how US media has been attempting to pin responsibility for inflation on progressive domestic policies like the American Rescue Plan and booming wages, despite the numbers showing wages lagging BEHIND inflation and the obvious international issues of a rampant, three-year-long (so far) pandemic, a shattered supply chain infrastructure, a war in Europe's bread basket (Ukraine), and violent-levels of monopolistic price gouging in the fossil fuel sector. Next, Sam opens the debate of whether this belief in Fed monetary policy is a genuine misdiagnosis, or if it's an active undermining of a workforce that has been growing in strength and solidarity, wrapping up the interview by looking at the differences between a solution based on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, and on based on its fiscal policy, exploring why the former is likely a clouded attempt to stifle wages. Then, Ilana Marcucci-Morris joins from the Kaiser Permanente picket line as she dives into how she and 2,067 other mental health therapists in California have spent the last 13 months pushing against Kaiser's actively destructive policies around patient mental healthcare, using their bargaining power to bolster their patients' right to care and ensuring they are able to provide the necessary work that they are there to provide. And in the Fun Half: Sam talks with Brennan of KY from the Bo Hines campaign, Ben from VA on his former employer's “no spoofing at work” policy, and explores Liz Cheney's subtle soft-launch of a presidential campaign. Stephen Crowder hosts Don Jr. to boast about his stance as the most on-the-ground conservative, maybe ever? and preview Donald's DeSantis talking points in a presidential race. Dominique from Baton Rouge discusses the Louisiana Democratic Party's endorsement corruption, Joe from Minneapolis brings up the effect of a redistricting a week before the Democratic primary in the most progressive regions of Minneapolis, and Christina Bobb continues to frustrate conservative media by refusing to answer anything for DT. Prager continues to make Sam famous, Matt Walsh continues his stochastic terrorism against a literal Children's Hospital, and Greg Gutfeld continues to be a very weird little racist homophobe, plus, your calls and IMs!

The Department of Energy has launched the Building a Better Grid Initiative to accelerate the development of new power transmission lines.  The initiative aims to upgrade the nation's grid, connect more Americans to clean electricity, and reliably move clean electricity to where it is needed most. The initiative is a part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure […]

This week on Carbon Removal Newsroom, we're recapping a year of carbon removal— what went right, what went wrong, and what we're expecting in 2022. In 2021, terms like Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) entered mainstream climate discourse, corporate plans, and government agendas. The IPCC's 6th Assessment Report was released in August and underscored the need for carbon removal by highlighting the likelihood of global overshooting of the Paris goals. The United States supported DAC and carbon storage like never before with the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill passed in November. Climeworks launched its Orca facility in Iceland, which is making rocks underground out of our atmospheric carbon pollution as we speak. Nasdaq purchased a carbon removal marketplace. A growing share of the world's economy was covered by ambitious net-zero commitments, which imply that maybe, at some point, corporations and governments might start removing a lot of co2 from the air. Meanwhile, Exxon snapped up some prime carbon storage property in the Gulf of Mexico, United Airlines started assuaging travelers with advertisements of airline-sponsored DAC, and China said it might keep a few coal plants open down the line but cancel out the emissions by capturing atmospheric carbon. Those stories, plus so many more, made 2021 a landmark year for the field (and we didn't even say the words Elon Musk). Let's rundown the year that was and look ahead to 2022. Panelists Dr. Holly Jean Buck of the University at Buffalo and Chris Barnard of the American Conservation Coalition join host Radhika Moolgavkar of Nori for this episode.

The House of Representatives passed the INVEST in America Act last Friday, the $1 trillion bipartisan legislative package that is comprised of “pure” infrastructure provisions. Since the Senate already passed the package in August the bill is ready to be signed into law by President Biden, which is expected to occur next week. This bill is separate from the Build Back Better Act, Democrats' reconciliation package that continues to undergo changes. On this week's episode of the Healthcare Happy Hour, NAHU's Chris Hartmann and John Greene are here to discuss the passage of the INVEST Act and provide updates on the Build Back Better bill. Additionally, Marcy Buckner is also here to discuss a very important webinar that NAHU hosted earlier this week.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host David Dayen, executive editor of the American Prospect, and David Sirota, founder of the Daily Poster.  - MR Live 10/29/21 It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host David Dayen, executive editor of the American Prospect, as they walk through as much of the two hundred policies in the Bipartisan Infrastructure framework as possible, and David Sirota, founder of the Daily Poster, joins in the fun half, to discuss his new podcast, “Meltdown” The former David (Dayen) first takes on his summary of why the infrastructure battle was a failure for Democrats, starting with complete mismanagement of expectations of what could make it into the bill, how they imagined their success in making it bipartisan, before he dives into the failure to optimize what they could do as the constraints became more clear. Working into the effects of the Manchin-Sinematic wrecking, David explores the waste of the 1.75 trillion top-line through provisions that include 90 billion for “equity,” and other nonexistent policies, effectively weakening the parts of the bill that democrats, and Americans, actually want. He also covers what could've been another use of these “ornamental” provisions, which work to build up the total spending, using their necessity to ensure that Republicans will still pass them, while removing them from the spending equation, including hundreds of billions for anti-trust, privacy bureau, and bolstering fisheries. While recognizing the obvious fault of Democratic leadership, Dayen, Emma, and Sam discuss the role of non-profits in tandem with the progressive caucus and Democratic base in pressuring expectations on the party, forcing a packaging of the entire agenda into a single bill, resulting in practically no lasting structural policy, before they dive into what (or who) has stood in the way of specific climate and pharmaceutical policy, from Manchin's rejection of penalties for unsustainable energy to the countless Pharma-bolstered representatives that fought back against the government's negotiating capacity. Next, they move onto the policy put forwards for our children, including universal pre-k and an extension of the Child Tax Credit, alongside the bureaucratizing of childcare provisions to hinder their utility, before they wrap up the interview by touching on the restructuring of Medicare funding and corporate and white-collar taxes. And in the Fun Half: David Sirota joins Emma and Sam to discuss his upcoming 8 part investigative podcast, “Meltdown,” covering the collapse of the Democratic party in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, with Obama's promises and their opposition (his policy) working to undermine faith in our government, as a top-down (emphasis on top, not so much on down) bailout left homeowners struggling for agency, and gave room for a rebirth of the Republican party in the shadow of Bush's failures, and eventually paved the way for Donald Trump's election. Emma and Sam also touch on Ben Shapiro's claim that climate change, the threat of which he has constantly been downplaying for years, is now “baked into the cake,” John Eastman talks representing the rural republicans at the Claremont Institute Gala, and Zuck shows us his metaverse, plus, your IMs!

Going to stream Biden's remarks about the Build Back Better Agenda and Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal

After taking a summer break, we returned to celebrate our fourth anniversary of The Mobility Podcast and discuss the hottest topic in Washington today – the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework (or whatever you'd like to call it). Please note: this episode was recorded in early September before Congress returned and conducted markups, but covers key issues around electrification, transit, and transportation funding that remain relevant. As always, you can keep up with the Mobility Podcast on Twitter: @MobilityPodcast, @AVGregR, @Pete_Gould, @SmarterTranspo.

The Senate recently passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a bipartisan $1 trillion investment in the country's physical infrastructure, which allocates $65 billion in broadband spending and is awaiting action by the House. In this episode, Kris Pusok sits down with former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Ajit Pai, to discuss what this infrastructure deal means for rural communities and what else policymakers and the industry should be doing to make internet more accessible to unconnected communities. The episode dives into the technology aspect, the public versus private broadband provision, and speed requirements to achieve progress in closing the digital divide.

Aaron sits down with Abby Tinsley, the Associate Vice President for Policy and Government Affairs for the National Wildlife Federation. They discuss the process of “reconciliation” how it works, what it will do, and what it means for hunting, angling, and conservation. They cover the bipartisan infrastructure package, why we need it, how it will help hunters and anglers, and how the infrastructure package relates to the reconciliation process. These are tough processes to digest but have huge implications for the lands and waters that support hunting and angling. The idea behind this podcast is to help the average person gain a basic understanding of the various developments and what will happen over the coming weeks and months.  For a quick and inciteful look at your government in action, you won't want to miss this one!

Beaches, kayaking, gearing up for hunting season, canning veggies and backpacking. 5:30 - "Reconciliation 101"  9:00 - What happened with the recent fire drill/oversight in the reconciliation bill? People wanted this bill to be 10 trillion, then 6 trillion and now 3.5 trillion dollars... People forgot that lands and water and rural areas need funding. 11:45 - What exactly was that "Pre-Money Scramble" when there wasn't any funding in there for the BLM? The sausage making! 13:47 - Congress is going to return after congressional recess & then what happens? 17:23 - How do you prepare and package the bills? What gets to be a part of the pie? 19:15 - A deeper look at the 3.5 trillion dollars. How is it paid for and when is this funding spread out?  21:00 - A message from our partner podcast, Artemis Sportswomen! 23:00 - How does infrastructure and reconciliation interface and a few examples on what natural infrastructure entails. 25:35 - Wildlife crossings are an example of the types of projects that could receive funding. Why are these real life projects important? 28:13 - How does infrastructure and reconciliation have to do with one another?   31:10 - What's next on the Hill? 33:00 - When do we expect all of this to start being implemented? 34:18 - What is the procedure for the next steps in terms of the funding getting to each state and programs?  38:54 - Unpacking the use of the funding (old bridges, old schools). 42:24 - Cool infrastructure opportunities and the hunting and fishing connection. 44:10 - Closing statements on infrastructure and reconciliation from Abby Tinsley. There is still time to make it look the way you want it to look so TELL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS how important you think it is to balance the needs across states. It's time to go to bat and communicate with your member of congress!    

Congressman Tim Ryan returns on LNN to discuss the potential of the Senate passed Infrastructure Bill. Listen to the exclusive interview - led by Sara Guice.Listeners can also view the full interview on our YouTube channel here.

There's finally been some action on Joe Biden's infrastructure plan(s). What's still unknown is how it will all play out in the end. Although it was relatively smooth-sailing in the senate this week, the House is looking like it might present a few problems. Could Nancy Pelosi be doing the right thing here (meaning correct)? She's pushed back on the "moderates" (ConservaDems) who are demanding the "BiPartisan" Infrastructure bill be brought to the House at the same time they consider the Budget resolution. They're coming back from recess early on 8/23 to deal with that issue, as the reconciliation bill can't even really be written until the budget resolution has cleared both chambers. And how will the new census numbers released today impact the redrawing of Congressional districts? Will the Rs have won back the House before any votes are even counted, thanks to redistricting? We'll talk with Howie Klein today about all that and more.

Senator Ron Jonson joins Fact Check with Bill Feehan to discuss the reasons why he doesn't support the $1.2 trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure package.

Join Health Affairs Insider.President Joe Biden has been making negotiations to get his massive infrastructure plan over the finish line. Some funding related to health care that was originally in the plan ended up on the cutting room floor.In particular, $400 billion in federal Medicaid funding for home and community-based long term care services were removed from the plan. The earmarked funds for Medicaid still could be passed through a budget reconciliation act but that remains to be seen. This has implications for the health and well-being of many Americans including low-income individuals 65 and older, people with disabilities, and home-based care workers.

President Biden spent his weekend playing clean up after seemingly threatening to veto the bipartisan infrastructure deal that he helped broker. His public and private statements appear to have reassured some Republicans, but the plan's future is still uncertain. Plus, a surge in violent crime across the country has the White House searching for solutions.
