Recorded live at the CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL 2025, the panel brought together Manuel Häußler from Aevoloop, Gerben Meier from LyondellBasell, Christian Schiller from Cirplus, and Peter Seeberger from CTC. The discussion was moderated by Leonhard Nima from Studio Nima. This episode is part of our CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL 2025 series, created in partnership with CIRCULAR REPUBLIC to bring you the key debates and insights from this year's festival.

More jobs data points to a healthy economy The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTs) showed a surprise increase in the month of August. Openings totaled 8.04 million, which topped the estimate of 7.64 million and July's reading of 7.71 million. While this is still well off the highs from just a couple of years ago, there are still 1.1 available jobs for every person looking for one. On the inflation front, I believe it was positive to see the quits rate decline to 1.9%, its lowest level since June 2020. This indicates that the labor market has softened as employees are seeing less opportunity to quit their job in favor of another one. This should help put less pressure on wage inflation. The Fed will have to continue to walk the fine line of keeping the economy moving in a positive direction without stoking a rise in inflation. It's a tough task, but the labor market has continued to hold up much stronger than many believed was possible.    Employment report surprises to the upside      I was surprised to see the continued strength in the labor market as the growth of headline nonfarm payrolls of 254k in the month of September easily topped the estimate of 150k. Strength came from leisure and hospitality, which saw payrolls grow 78k thanks to a nice spike of 69k jobs from food services and drinking places. Other positive sectors included health care and social assistance (+71.7k), government (+31k), and construction (+25k). Only two sectors saw declines in the month with manufacturing losing 7k jobs and transportation and warehousing down 8.6k jobs. Both July and August saw upward revisions to their reports for a combined total increase of 72k. Wage inflation was also stronger in the month as average hourly earnings grew 4% compared to last year. This is up from last month's reading of 3.8%, but still remains substantially below last year's high of 5.92%. Precovid, wage growth was in the low to mid 3% range. Overall, this report didn't have many problems. The only concern is, did the Fed move to soon and could inflation still be the larger concern rather than a weakening labor market? This report did increase expectations for a November rate cut to be 0.25% rather than 0.5%. I would have been shocked if the Fed would have opted for another 0.5% cut even if the jobs report wasn't this strong.    ILA Dockworkers strike Good news for those that were concerned about the International Longshoremen's Association's (ILA) strike as the union and the United States Maritime Alliance reached a tentative agreement on wages and agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 15th, 2025. Wages will increase 61.5% over six years under the tentative deal, but the major point of conflict that still needs to be negotiated is port automation. With the increase in wages, it will be interesting to see how much the Maritime Alliance is willing to budge on automation as they will likely need to look for ways to improve efficiency to offset the higher wages. Efficiency is already a concern for US ports as a study from just a couple of years ago ranked the LA and Long Beach ports as the least efficient trade hubs for handling containers in the world. Other US ports including Savannah, Georgia, New York, and New Jersey also ranked in the bottom half of the list. Of the 370-member Container Port Performance Index, we did not have a single port in the top 10. While this resolution is positive, the problems could be delayed until early next year if the two sides still cannot come to an agreement. During my research on this strike, I learned some surprising things about the union leader, Harold Daggett. You may be shocked to learn that his combined income as president of two unions is around $900,000 per year with $728,000 coming from the ILA. He currently drives a Bentley, which is a high-end luxury vehicle with a price of $210,000 for a new one. He also recently sold his 76-foot yacht and based on the US boat group market index, the average price of a yacht in that range is $1.5 million and costs around 10 to 15% of the value to operate yearly. I was also surprised to see this is a “family business” as his son is employed by the same two unions as his dad and was paid a total of more than $700,000 last year. As for the workers, on the East Coast the union workers have an average pay around $81,000 per year. However, the waterfront commission of New York estimates 1/3 of the longshoreman made $200,000 or more last year with overtime.    Investors are still adding money to money market funds Even with the recent rate cut by the Federal Reserve, investors still put nearly $130 billion into money market funds. This brought total assets in money markets to $6.8 trillion. I don't believe this money will stay there very long as probably within 3 to 6 months investors will start seeing the interest rates decline and once, they fall below 4%, we could see a large drop in the assets held in money market funds. The big question for investors is where to go. If you need liquidity, you're probably best off staying in the money market funds, but if you won't need the money for the next 3 to 5 years, you should be looking at building a strong investment portfolio using patience and a lot of research to make sure you have the right investments.    A Lesser-Known Spousal Social Security Strategy After 2015 many of the spousal strategies such as the file and suspend or restricted application options are no longer possible. This is because a “deemed filing” rule applies which means when someone files for Social Security benefits, they are deemed to be filing for all benefits they are eligible for such as spousal and their own benefits.  When they apply, they will receive whichever benefit is larger, but not both.  However, there is still a way to switch between benefits. In order to receive a spousal benefit, the spouse you are collecting from must also be collecting. If they are not, you would only be eligible for your own benefit until they begin collecting.  Consider a wife who is no longer working and whose full retirement age 67 amount is $1,000 and who has a working husband with a full retirement age amount of $3,500.  Because of the husband's larger benefit, the wife is also eligible for a spousal benefit of half that amount, $1,750, if she collects it at her full retirement age.  In this situation the wife may collect from her own record as early as age 62.  Since she would be collecting 5 years early, her own benefit would be reduced from $1,000 to $700.  Later on though, when her husband retires and starts his own social security, she could begin her spousal benefit at age 67 and boost her benefit by $750 up from $700 to $1,450. This $750 boost is because her spousal benefit of $1,750 is $750 larger than her own full retirement age amount of $1,000, even though she began collecting at 62.  If she had waited to apply for anything until age 67, she would receive the full spousal benefit of $1,750, but she would have waited 5 years of collecting nothing just for an extra $300.  From a Net Present Value perspective, it is better for the wife to collect her own benefit at 62 and later receive the spousal boost rather than wait completely until 67.  Also, there are many spouses who collect early without knowing they are also eligible for a larger spousal benefit when their spouse retires.  If they do not alert the Social Security Administration, they may not ever receive their increased benefit.   Companies Discussed: Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST), Humana Inc. (HUM) & LyondellBasell Industries (LYB)

In this episode, Molly and Jo discuss the CSB's final investigation report on the 2021 fatal acid release at LyondellBasell La Port Complex in La Porte, Texas. On July 27, 2021, contractors inadvertently removed pressure retaining components of a valve, releasing 164,000 pounds of acetic acid mixture, which fatally injured two contract workers. Today, Molly and Jo provide some background information on LyondellBasell and the substances involved in the release, talk about what exactly happened at the time of the incident, and discuss what a valve actuator is and why contractors were trying to remove one that day. Then they discuss other incidents that the CSB identified where similar mistakes were made with plug valves and removal of pressure retaining components, touch on the contributing factors, and talk about what other companies can learn from this incident. Finally, they cover the CSB's recommendations, which include those addressed to LyondellBasell, the contract company, and to various RAGAGEP entities.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Shanisha Smith, Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Counsel for LyondellBasell, about her role as counsel and the rewards and challenges of advising a major chemical producer on HSE legal and product stewardship issues. In our conversation, we learn about Shanisha's beginnings not far from here on Maryland's Eastern Shore to now living in Houston and counseling LyondellBasell's, one of the world's largest chemical manufacturers, global team of HSE and product stewardship professionals on an incredibly diverse range of legal and product stewardship issues. We discuss Shanisha's impressive personal background, how it prepared her for the demands of her current job, and Shanisha's approach to counseling her client on evolving legal and stewardship topics, many of which are emerging with no clear answer.

LyondellBasell, in a recent announcement, said it would shutter its Houston refinery at the end of 2023 — a site that's over 100 years old and can process up to 268,000 barrels of crude a day. According to company execs, it's been increasingly difficult, what with rising costs and global volatility, for the refinery to stay profitable. Since the refinery is one of only ten in Houston, should we be concerned about its closing? Loren Steffy, a longtime energy reporter, joins Ferrill Gibbs to break it all down. If you'd like to check out Loren's new book, "The Big Empty," you can find out more on his website! Here's the Texas Tribune article that ran late last week and mentioned the refinery as one of five in Texas that have emitted more benzene pollutants than the EPA allows.
