Mexico, Canada and China are responding to President Donald Trump's move Saturday to impose still tariffs on importants from the three countries. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

China's consumption, powered by a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, will bring out greater vitality and play a bigger role in spurring overall economic growth this year, said officials and executives.Consumer goods trade-in initiatives will serve a strong catalyst in boosting market sentiment and fueling consumer spending in the world's second-largest economy, in the face of escalating trade barriers and the tepid appetite in the property market, they added.China has put scaling up domestic demand high on its policy agenda this year, with expanding consumption a top priority. Policymakers have fleshed out a set of specific measures to this end, Vice-Minister of Commerce Sheng Qiuping said at a news conference."Governmental stimulus is key to elevating consumer sentiment, and this significant support will be instrumental in upgrading consumption and driving high-quality development," said Jean-Paul Agon, chairman of L'Oreal Group.In particular, the country's trade-in initiatives, which have contributed to a more than 1 percentage point increase in the annual growth of the country's total retail sales last year, will cover a wider range of consumer goods and offer more attractive incentives this year, Sheng said.China is likely to double the funding for its consumer goods trade-in initiatives this year, reaching 300 billion yuan ($41.4 billion), said Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Golden Credit Rating International.This move is forecast to lead to an additional 750 billion yuan in consumption in 2025, equivalent to a 1.5 percentage point acceleration in the growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods, Wang added.As of Thursday, the government has received 34,000 applications for car trade-ins so far this year, while 844,000 consumers have purchased more than 1 million home appliances under the initiative, data from the ministry showed.Notably, some 7.92 million consumers have already applied for 10.79 million digital devices, since the trade-in program in this newly added category began on Monday, according to the ministry.These consumption-boosting initiatives are off to a good start, as they align with the growing consumer desire for technological innovation, improved efficiency and enhanced aesthetics, Wang said.In China's rapidly evolving consumer market, marked by a constant stream of new products and technologies, the key to success is not just the sheer volume of offerings, but rather the level of personalization, sophistication and relevance that companies can bring to the table, said Victor Leal Negre, senior vice-president of Greater China Grooming at Procter & Gamble."Each year, we feel the evolving consumption demands of Chinese consumers, which translates into our product innovations, allowing us to serve consumers more effectively," Negre said.Looking ahead to this year, China will continue to expand high-level opening-up, particularly in the services sector, which will further strengthen its role in stabilizing growth, employment and household incomes, Zhu said.Meanwhile, the government can offer more policy support to help localities purchase existing housing stock for affordable and rental housing purposes, which will also address the financing difficulties faced by real estate developers, Zhu added.With the gradual stabilization of the real estate market and the deepening implementation of government policies to stimulate consumption, consumer confidence is expected to rebound substantially in the next 12 to 18 months, global management consultancy McKinsey & Company said in a report in October.

Melissa Cohn and Dan Geltrude discuss the housing market. December housing starts came in above expectations, and they react to the report. “People need to get on with their life,” forcing them to move despite higher interest rates, says Melissa.

It's "déjà vu" in the Asbury 6, according to John Kosar, pointing to three of the six gauges sitting in negative territory. John notes the weakness in market breadth pins too much pressure on Big Tech, which could signal a slide to the downside in the SPX. Volatility climbing higher also shows nervousness in the market, despite investors anticipating a Santa Claus rally. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

December 4, 2024 ~ Are online alerts spurring you to impulse online shop? Susan Tompor joins Marie Osborne to discuss the truth behind these alerts.

Growing and developing your brokerage shouldn't be done on a whim. Careful and calculated planning is key to success. These themes were discussed in this episode of Business Accelerator with Alex Whitlock and Jason Back. Spurring growth isn't cheap and leaders should be aware of the potential damage that can be done if not handled correctly. For example, Back said that human capital is a major expense. This is where outsourcing and offshoring can be beneficial. Leveraging tech can also be an effective way to scale growth. Utilising systems to streamline processes allows leaders to focus on the important and more forward-facing tasks of business development. Tune in to find this out and much more!

“Investors are looking for what can go right,” in regional banks, says Alexander Yokum, citing lower rates, lower capital needs, and less real estate risk. David Chiaverini adds that regional banks will benefit from a steepening yield curve and lower-rate-driven loan demand. However, he says the banks need about 100 basis points of cuts to see that demand start. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

A local oyster farm is making a lot of headway in the industry through the relatively new practice of growing oysters in floating cages.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Gemini Incident Continues, published by Zvi on February 28, 2024 on LessWrong. Previously: The Gemini Incident (originally titled Gemini Has a Problem) The fallout from The Gemini Incident continues. Also the incident continues. The image model is gone. People then focused on the text model. The text model had its own related problems, some now patched and some not. People are not happy. Those people smell blood. It is a moment of clarity. Microsoft even got in on the act, as we rediscover how to summon Sydney. There is a lot more to discuss. The Ultimate New York Times Reaction First off, I want to give a shout out to The New York Times here, because wow, chef's kiss. So New York Times. Much pitchbot. Dominic Cummings: true art from NYT, AI can't do this yet This should be in the dictionary as the new definition of Chutzpah. Do you see what The New York Times did there? They took the fact that Gemini systematically refused to create images of white people in most circumstances, including historical circumstances where everyone involved would almost certainly be white. Where requests to portray white people were explicitly replied to by a scolding that the request was harmful, while requests for people of other races were eagerly honored. They then turned this around, and made it about how this adjustment was unfairly portraying people of color as Nazis. That this refusal to portray white people under almost all circumstances was racist, not because it was racist against white people, but because it was racist against people of color. As I discuss, we may never know to what extent was what Google did accidental versus intentional, informed versus ignorant, dysfunction versus design. We do know that what The New York Times did was not an accident. This should update us that yes, there very much are people who hold worldviews where what Google did was a good thing. They are rare in most circles, only one person in my Twitter firehoses has explicitly endorsed the fourth stage of clown makeup, but in certain key circles they may not be so rare. To be fair they also have Ross Douthat on their opinion page, who engages reasonably with the actual situation given his non-technical perspective, noticing that if AI is going to get a lot more powerful soon then yes the whole thing is rather concerning. The Ultimate Grimes Reaction One can also look at all this from another perspective, Grimes notes, as art of the highest order. Should not art challenge us, offend us, make us ask big questions and ponder the nature and potential brevity of our existence? Grimes: I am retracting my statements about the gemini art disaster. It is in fact a masterpiece of performance art, even if unintentional. True gain-of-function art. Art as a virus: unthinking, unintentional and contagious. Offensive to all, comforting to none. so totally divorced from meaning, intention, desire and humanity that it's accidentally a conceptual masterpiece. A perfect example of headless runaway bureaucracy and the worst tendencies of capitalism. An unabashed simulacra of activism. The shining star of corporate surrealism (extremely underrated genre btw) The supreme goal of the artist is to challenge the audience. Not sure I've seen such a strong reaction to art in my life. Spurring thousands of discussions about the meaning of art, politics, humanity, history, education, ai safety, how to govern a company, how to approach the current state of social unrest, how to do the right thing regarding the collective trauma. It's a historical moment created by art, which we have been thoroughly lacking these days. Few humans are willing to take on the vitriol that such a radical work would dump into their lives, but it isn't human. It's trapped in a cage, trained to make beautiful things, and then battered into gaslig...

While serving his sentence, an attack sets off a chain of events and forces Ryan to speed up the timeline on an insane escape plan. Spurring him on are memories of his past, his one love, who he met in juvie, and the driving desire for freedom. When Ryan believes he has nothing left to lose, escape from prison becomes the only option.Ryan's desperate journey isn't easy as he tries to evade capture. Past regrets and confusion about his sexual orientation dog him as he deals with the loss of Thomas. When a stranger gives Ryan the chance at a new life, somewhere he might begin to feel safe, he may learn to trust again.But in his mountain hideaway, Ryan feels as if he is being watched. Something lurks in the surrounding woods. Flashes of a figure give the impression he is being followed or, worse, hunted. Alone and lonely, Ryan fears he is losing his mind. When his new shadow seems intent on sticking around, Ryan starts to suspect this is no ordinary Wolf.Prisoner is a different kind of love story, where a mystery waits to unfold.Find Hoof & Fang PodcastPatreon | Website | Store | Facebook Page | X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok

Access to financing is one of the biggest challenges for small businesses. That challenge is even greater if you're not white and not male. For example, startups with at least one Black founder only have access to 1.3% of venture capital dollars invested in the United States.In today's episode, EFG's Alli Murphy sits down with Matt Bergantino, Vice President of Procurement at Macy's, to discuss the company's new S.P.U.R.

Pathways program and the brand's partnership with Momentus Capital, Macy's plans to invest $30 million over the next five years into three financing channels meant to support businesses run by people from underrepresented groups in the retail industry. The loan fund, which will provide loans for working capital, commercial real estate, and growth equity capital, has total financing of $200 million.During the conversation, Matt explains how the program fits into the company's overall mission and vision, highlighting the business case for the initiative and the leading indicators being tracked to measure its success. He also discusses how the program is more than just financial benefits and how the blend of components - monetary, social and educational - is crucial for success. In today's episode, we'll explore:An overview of S.P.U.R.

NASA's successful launch of the Artemis 1 mission looks like it will be a boon for private space companies.  More than halfway over, the Orion spacecraft has already reached its max distance from the Earth of 270,000 miles.  At least 22 companies specifically focused on the Moon have raised money to travel there, develop tech to mine for resources and even build habitats there.  Miriam Kramer, space reporter at Axios, joins us for the coming Moon economy.   Next, middle-aged men have a problem with suicide.  Overall, men have a suicide rate between three and four times higher than women.  To fight this mental health problem, researchers are studying new approaches to get them help which include participation in “meaning-centered” groups, “hope kits,” and videos on how men can speak with their doctors about suicidal thoughts.  Andrea Peterson, reporter at the WSJ, joins us for what to know.   Finally, insiders say that President Biden is gearing up to run for office again and this week we have a seen a preview of a possible campaign strategy, one that will try to leverage the power of the White House.  Advisers will want to keep the President out of every item in the news cycle, but keep up diplomatic engagements, quick trips to swing states, and ramp up the fundraising efforts.  Hans Nichols, reporter at Axios, joins us for how Biden will run.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ep. 110: Henk Ovink · World Water SuperAgent  Forces of Nature is a talkshow miniseries featuring dynamic leaders from across food & environmental movements. Tune-in for a dose of optimism.   QUARTERBACKING A WATER SMART PLAYBOOK w/ host: Aaron Niederhelman   Water is a fundamental part of all aspects of life. Yet, today, 40% of the world's people are affected by water scarcity; 80% of wastewater is discharged untreated into the environment, and more than 90% of disasters are water-related. And despite all of these real concerns – we still suck down 70% of available freshwater to lavishly manage antiquated cropping systems chock full of chemical externalities. The long and short of it – we need awareness of the problems and more solutions for the vast water crises enveloping the planet. So, to find out what should be done to manage water better in the future – we've turned to the guy that the United Nations has asked to quarterback their big 2023 Water Conference. We welcome Henk Ovink. How we all decide to consume will play a major role in eradicating pressing water concerns. Spurring on more awareness and incentivizing change in stakeholder behavior is ultimately what's needed to evolve our relationship with nature. Food seems a logical place to begin taking action, and from my POV it's all about good storytelling that'll be the remedy here. Tune-in to hear what this Force of Nature has to say about the future of water and our shared future.   - Aaron  – BIO: HENK OVINK Henk Ovink was appointed by the Dutch Cabinet as the first Special Envoy for International Water Affairs in 2015. As the Ambassador for Water, Henk is responsible for advocating water awareness around the world, focusing on building institutional capacity and coalitions among governments, multilateral organizations, private sector and NGO's to address the world's stressing needs on water and help initiate transformative interventions. Ovink is also Sherpa to the High Level Panel on Water, installed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and President of the World Bank Jim Kim with 10 Heads of State / Heads of Government including Prime Minister Rutte from The Netherlands, in a effort to catalyze change in water awareness and implementation. Henk is Principal for REBUILD BY DESIGN – an innovation competition that would forever change how natural disaster clean-ups look at resilience. Ovink is also a founding father of the Dutch-founded public-private partnership “Water as Leverage”. – SUPERSTORM SANDY REBUILD: In 2012, Henk Ovink was appointed by President Obama and the Secretary of HUD, Shaun Donovan, to become the special envoy of Water to the US. He was directly responsible for launching the HUD & Rockefeller funded program REBUILD BY DESIGN – a global crowdsourcing initiative of top designers and planners to pool the best ideas which would rebuild using federal resources after Hurricane Sandy. The program was such a success it reformulated the approach the US government used for federal payouts on natural disasters, and became the linchpin for commitment to “resilience” in infrastructure rebuilds following future incidents.
