The ACC minister's questioning whether ACC is the right outfit for people needing compensation after experiencing sexual assault. In 2023 the Court of Appeal ruled that sexual abuse survivors were entitled to compensation for the loss of potential earnings from when they were abused. Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's not clear what the minister's intention is. “It sounds to me as if he's looking to shift this liability to another section of government.” LISTEN ABOVE.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

Pete Hegseth isn't the only one who loves a group chat—turns out Silicon Valley's descent into Trumpism was powered by a constellation of Signal and WhatsApp chats between America's tech overlords. Max and Jon walk through the Marc Andreessen-powered phenomenon, then discuss how Jeff Bezos was forced to kiss Trump's ring this week by walking back Amazon's response to his tariffs. Next up: how will Gen Z's lifestyle subsidy (cheap AI) compare to millenials' lifestyle subsidy (cheap Ubers)? And finally, what's the most disturbing way people are using AI chatbots…and why does it involve John Cena?

Trump's tariffs are hurting the working class, but he and his regime are doubling-down. Then, Pat breaks-down Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin's new "war plans" for Democrats, and where she says Democrats should stop saying "oligarchy" when attacking Trump. Pat gives examples where he thinks Slotkin's right, and where she's wrong. 22:01-39:00: Interview w/ Paula Gardner Paula Gardner, Business Editor at Bridge Michigan, is our guest this week. Ms. Gardner unveiled a handful of articles detailing how this state's reliance on taxpayer-funded corporate subsidies aren't bringing the jobs and economic growth many promised. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer has championed these subsidies during her tenure. But because the near $1Billion in spending hasn't resulted in the jobs supporters said would happen, there seems to be bipartisan agreement that we need new solutions. Check-out Ms. Gardner's article, "WHITMER SUBSIDY RECORD: COMPANIES GET 1-BILLION DOLLARS; JOBS FALL SHORT OF PROMISES.” 39:01-46:00: Last Call-Whitmer & Trump Pat's "Last Call" is on Whitmer joining Trump during his Michigan trip this week, and where she went right and wrong on that visit.  46:01-49:16: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Whitmer subsidy record: Companies get $1 billion; jobs fall short of promises."

The Government's plan to reduce the operating allowance from $2.4 billion to $1.3 billion is the smallest amount of new spending in a decade. Finance Minister Nicola Willis has decided to make departments metabolise their own spending in order to get books back into surplus. New Zealand Herald Political Editor Thomas Coughlan talks to Heather du Plessis-Allan about the ‘big' decision, KiwiSaver subsidies and Tory Whanau dropping out of the Wellington race. LISTEN ABOVE.

When Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), it was told the new energy tax credits would cost about $270 billion over a decade. Revised official estimates put the cost at multiple times that amount. But congressional scorekeepers may still be getting the long-term cost of the IRA energy subsidies wrong. Recent Cato research quantifies the IRA's fiscal time bomb, showing how its unchecked expansion of government spending with no clear end date could cost almost $5 trillion by 2050.Join us for lunch and learn how the IRA's calamitous environmental and fiscal effects present a rare opportunity for Congress to use these partisan subsidies to fund permanent, pro-growth tax reform in the upcoming reconciliation package.

Niet LVMH, niet Novo Nordisk, maar een Duits softwarebedrijf uit de jaren '70 is nu het meest waardevolle beursbedrijf van Europa. In iets meer dan een jaar verdubbelde de beurswaarde van SAP bijna. En dat heeft het ook te danken aan de CEO. Die besloot een paar jaar geleden van SAP ook een cloudbedrijf te maken. En dat is aardig gelukt, want volgens analisten kijkt het bedrijf dit jaar tegen de snelste groei in 10 jaar tijd aan. Wat zegt het over Europa dat zo'n softwaremaker het meest waardevolle bedrijf is? Dat vertellen we je in deze aflevering. En dan hebben we het ook over een andere wedstrijd. Die tussen Tesla en BYD. Die laatste gaat nu stevig aan kop. BYD breekt voor het eerst door de grens van 100 miljard dollar aan omzet heen. Het ziet de verkopen met bijna een derde stijgen, terwijl die bij Tesla juist voor het eerst in een decennium afnemen. En je hoort over de president van De Nederlandsche Bank. Klaas Knot laat zich namelijk van zijn politieke kant zien. Normaal blijven hij en zijn collega's neutraal, maar nu spreekt hij zich duidelijk uit vóór het instemmen met eurobonds. Volgens hem zijn de tijden veranderd en heeft het investeren in defensie de hoogste prioriteit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Using tract-level Census data and triple difference estimators, the authors test whether firms increase their use of part-time workers when faced with capped wage subsidies. By limiting the maximum subsidy per worker, such subsidies create incentives for firms to increase the share of their payroll that is eligible for the subsidy by increasing use of part-time or low-wage workers. Results suggest that firms located in federal Empowerment Zones in the United States responded to the program's capped wage subsidies by expanding their use of part-time workers, particularly in locations where the subsidy cap is likely to bind. There is also a shift toward hiring lower-skill workers. Authors: Elvery, Joel A., C. Lockwood Reynolds, and Shawn M. Rohlin.

So many people are chasing value-add multifamily deals, that the deals rarely pencil. On the construction side, it's also become difficult to achieve profitability because of prohibitive costs including higher interest rates. At the same time, the need for housing continues to outpace supply in many markets. One way to be successful in this environment is to partner with municipalities in Tax Increment Financing deals. With Tax Increment Financing, municipalities subsidize construction costs for the developer, thereby lowering the barrier to entry. Justin Goodin, CEO of Goodin Development, is partnering with municipalities in Indiana to build luxury, Class A apartments.
