India has spent heavily on housing schemes, but are we building homes in the places where people actually need them? In this episode of How India's Economy Works, Puja Mehra speaks to economist Dr. Vidya Mahambare, Union Bank Chair Professor of Economics and Director (Research and Fellow Programme In Management) at the Great Lakes Institute of Management in Chennai, about why India's housing policy needs to be rethought as part of a broader strategy for employment and economic growth. Mahambare argues that homes need to be built closer to where jobs are being created, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas, rather than simply subsidising home ownership in rural areas.The conversation also explores how housing can influence migration, manufacturing, regional development and women's participation in the workforce. From industrial housing for large-scale manufacturing to safe working-women's hostels, childcare located near schools and better public transport, Mahambare explains why housing is best understood as labour-market infrastructure, rather than simply a welfare measure.Tune in for insights on India's employment challenge, the housing-jobs mismatch, women's workforce participation, migration, manufacturing and the policy changes needed to make India's cities more productive.CHAPTERS(00:00) Introduction to Housing Policy(00:54) Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Issues(02:37) Subsidizing Rental Housing Instead(05:37) Job Creation Precedes Housing Need(09:33) Government Role in Industrial Housing(12:16) Working Women Hostels and Mobility(17:43) Beyond Housing for Economic Growth(19:49) Enabling Conditions for Married Women(24:49) Pilot Programs for Effective PolicyFor more of our coverage check out thecore.inFollow us on:Twitter | Instagram | Linkedin | Youtube

Initial output is 30,000 units a year, with Dutch prices from €27,995 ($32,000) and the next-generation BAYON and i20 to follow next year.HYUNDAI OPENS IONIQ 3 ORDER BOOKSHyundai Motor UK has opened orders for the IONIQ 3 compact hatchback from £22,245 on-the-road, positioning it against the Kia EV2, Renault 5 and VW ID Polo. Buyers choose a 42.2kWh battery with up to 213 miles or a 61kWh version with up to 308 miles, both charging 10-80% in about 30 minutes, and the car debuts Hyundai's Android Automotive-based PleOS Connect system. Grant eligibility is still pending.LUCID UNVEILS GRAVITY GT-SLucid's 2027 Gravity GT-S produces 1,070hp from a dual-motor powertrain and hits 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds, priced from $127,750 — about $14,000 below the outgoing Dream Edition. It comes with rear-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension as standard, while a 926V architecture supports 400kW charging that Lucid says adds 200 miles in under 12 minutes.FRANCE TO BACK USED ELECTRIC VEHICLESFrom September, France will subsidise used EV purchases and leases through the Energy Savings Certificates scheme, funded by energy suppliers including EDF, Engie and TotalEnergies under the polluter-pays principle. Cars must have been first registered in France between 2017 and 2023 and retain at least 80% battery capacity, with buyers required to keep the vehicle three years and to purchase through a dealer rather than privately.PORSCHE REPORTS POINT TO TAYCAN PHASE-OUTPorsche is reported to have agreed in principle with employee representatives to end Taycan production by 2029 or 2030, closing a roughly decade-long run, though nothing has been formalised or confirmed. Output has collapsed from 39,397 cars in 2023 to 11,510 in 2025, with first-half 2026 deliveries down 25% and no successor named as Porsche appears set to prioritise the electric Macan and Cayenne.TESLA ADDS V2L TO MODEL Y PREMIUMTesla has enabled vehicle-to-load for the Model Y Premium in the US and Puerto Rico, delivering 2.4kW at 120V via an $80 adapter that requires the Gen 3 Mobile Connector. Eligibility is narrower than the badge suggests, with reports indicating only newer Juniper-built cars from around May 2026 carry the necessary hardware, and Tesla still trails rivals offering up to 10.2kW.TESLA LEASES POWERWALL BACKUP IN TEXASTesla Electric is offering a whole-home Powerwall lease in selected Texas retail-choice areas for roughly $35 a month plus tax in year one, achieved by applying an $87 monthly credit to a two-unit lease costing about $122. The deal carries a 3% annual escalator, a $100 order fee, a 20% minimum backup reserve for virtual power plant dispatch, and credits that may not start until two billing cycles after installation and utility approval.CORVUS TO SUPPLY BATTERIES FOR BC FERRIES SUMMIT CLASSCorvus Energy will supply 40MWh of battery storage across four hybrid-electric Summit Class ferries for BC Ferries, each carrying 360 vehicles and 2,100 people and fitted with a 10MWh Dolphin NxtGen system. The hardware is scalable to 70MWh per vessel for near-zero-emission running once shore charging exists, with China Merchants' Weihai Shipyard delivering the first ship in 2029 and all four in service by 2031.FERRARI LUCE SELLS FOR $40 MILLIONChassis 0 of the Ferrari Luce, the marque's first EV and a one-off Tailor Made build designed by Sir Jony Ive's LoveFrom, sold for $40 million at RM Sotheby's Monterey auction, over 36 times its estimate and a record for a new car. The sale was offered without reserve and with no buyer's premium, sending the full amount to The Ferrari Foundation, with winning bidder Dr Herbert Wertheim taking delivery early next year.
A new Congressional Budget Office report says the federal government will subsidize health insurance in the U.S. by more than $33 trillion over the next 10 years. David W. Johnson and Julie Murchinson unpacked what we should expect in return on, “Government Health Insurance Subsidies: Too Much, Too Little or Just Right?” the new episode of the 4sight Health Roundup podcast, moderated by David Burda.
The removal of Nigeria's fuel subsidy was presented as a difficult but necessary economic reform. Nigerians were told that the money previously spent on subsidy would be freed up and redirected toward infrastructure, social investment, and other priorities that would benefit the nation.However, along the line, something went wrong. What happened to that money, the lifesaving national fortune?Did subsidy removal deliver the economic benefits Nigerians were promised? How much was actually saved, where was it spent, and did ordinary Nigerians see meaningful value from the funds that were supposedly freed up?In this episode of the Dr Reju Podcast, we examine the questions surrounding subsidy removal, public spending, accountability, and the growing gap between government promises and the lived reality of Nigerians.Watch the full episode and join the conversation.#DrRejuPodcast #SubsidyRemoval #Nigeria #FuelSubsidy #AccountabilityInGovernance #PublicMoney
Anthony Fauci went to medical school, but never practiced medicine. Instead he moved to the dark side, where he became a bureaucrat's bureaucrat in an agency that Congress had no proper authority to create. In doing so, he lined his pocket - and his friends' pockets - with your tax money while killing millions.

Meta is keihard op de vingers getikt in New Mexico. Het moet van de rechter ruim een half miljard dollar betalen, omdat platformen als Instagram veel te verslavend zijn voor minderjarigen. Maar daar blijft het niet bij. Ook moet het ineens aan allerlei strenge regels voldoen. Regels die het voor Meta (en adverteerders) ineens een stuk minder leuk maken. Deze aflevering kijken we naar deze tegenvaller. Een tegenvaller die sowieso niet op zichzelf staat. Er komen nog heel veel rechtszaken aan in heel veel Amerikaanse staten. Waarvoor Meta zelf 'maar' 2,4 miljard dollar achter de hand heeft gezet. Is dat te weinig? We zoeken het uit. Kijken we ook of die strenge regels het bedrijf niet veel meer gaan kosten dan die miljardenboetes. De Czechoslovak Group (CSG) komt ook voorbij. Het defensiebedrijf kwam voor de tweede keer als Amsterdams beursbedrijf met de kwartaalcijfers. Cijfers die aanvankelijk goed werden ontvangen. Beleggers waren blij met de extra omzet, vooral door orders uit Azië. Al verdween dat enthousiasme in de middag ineens weer. Verder hebben we het deze aflevering over president Trump die poeslief is voor Fed-baas Kevin Warsh. Rente verlagen? Graag, maar Warsh gaat er zelf niet helemaal over. Aldus een opvallend milde Trump. Ook aandacht voor Philip Morris. Dat wordt op de vingers getikt vanwege hun AI-beleid. En je hoort over Volkswagen.

The Congress of South African Trade Unions is warning of a crisis in KwaZulu-Natal, as commuter bus companies threaten to halt operations over unpaid government subsidies. Several major operators say they have not received payments from the provincial Department of Transport since April, despite contractual obligations. With reserves now depleted and rising fuel costs adding pressure, services that thousands rely on daily to get to work, school and healthcare facilities could come to a standstill as early as next week. We spoke to COSATU spokesperson, Zanele Sabela.
What is influencing fuel prices, and how could government subsidies affect consumers? Join the discussion as we break down the key issues, what the policy means, and its potential impact on households, businesses, and the economy
Wade Sutton, PwC's International Tax Leader for the Washington National Tax Services Office, fills in as host while Doug is away on assignment. Wade welcomes Will Morris, PwC's global tax policy lead and former chair of the AmCham EU Tax Committee. In this episode, Wade and Will discuss the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR). They cover its state-aid origins, reach into M&A and public procurement, and early enforcement record. The episode examines the European Commission's recent assessment, possible reductions in reporting burdens, and the three-step analysis from foreign financial contribution (FFC) to subsidy to market distortion. The conversation also covers tax incentives and credits, Inflation Reduction Act and Pillar Two interactions, data-collection challenges, geopolitical considerations, standstill risks, and practical steps before an EU transaction or procurement bid.
In the context of global price shocks, governments often turn to subsidies to shield households and businesses from rising costs. While subsidies can provide immediate relief, they are also among the most contested policy instruments. Given how costly they are to sustain, subsidies often have regressive distributional impact making them notoriously difficult to reform. In this concluding episode of our two-part discussion on subsidies, we explore why subsidy reform remains one of the most politically and economically challenging issues in social policy. If there is broad agreement that resources could often be used more effectively through targeted social protection, why do subsidies continue to persist? What political, institutional, and social factors make reform so difficult? And what lessons can be drawn from countries that have successfully transitioned towards more equitable and efficient systems? We also examine the role of social protection in making the reforms feasible. As governments seek fiscal space to strengthen social protection systems and respond to economic, climate, and other shocks, compensatory cash transfers and adaptive social protection have increasingly been presented as viable alternatives to broad-based subsidies and strong enablers of a successful reform. Meet our guests: Dr. Neil McCulloch, Director, The Policy Practice Tara Moayed, Governance and Social Development Consultant For our Quick Wins segment, we spoke with Shaun Baugh, Programme Manager at Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat who shed light on the implications of the “Super El Niño”, alongside other climate and global shocks, for food security and vulnerable populations in the region.

Episode 321 begins with William and T.J. reacting to the ongoing soccer tournament, disputed officiating, ticket prices, broadcasting rights, and the scale of the business surrounding the sport. The conversation then returns to Digital Matter Theory and the origins of NAT. The hosts explain how Bitcoin block data, Ordinals, Bitmap, and recurring on-chain patterns inspired a framework for creating digital assets whose properties and supplies are derived from Bitcoin rather than selected arbitrarily. They revisit NAT's distribution, early minting process, growing holder base, and proposed role as a second subsidy for Bitcoin miners. The discussion examines the long-term decline of Bitcoin's block subsidy and why directing value toward miners could contribute to network security without changing Bitcoin's monetary policy. William and T.J. also explore how NAT.fun brings DMT concepts into a lower-friction Solana environment. They review early Vibeathon submissions, including digital art, AI-assisted projects, data-driven collections, and tools that use Bitcoin block information as part of their underlying structure. Disclosure: The hosts are creators and contributors within the DMT, NAT, and NAT.fun ecosystems and hold related interests. Nothing in this episode is financial advice.

Federal officials have announced plans to phase out Biden-era Medicare Part D premium subsidies, shifting policy away from previous administration programs. In this clip from the Rational Boomer Podcast, we break down what Medicare Part D is, why the administration argues current structures favor private insurance carriers, and how these changes could impact your prescription drug costs and out-of-pocket expenses.

In this episode, Jakob Emerson, Associate News Director, Becker's Healthcare, breaks down the latest hospital and payer earnings, examining how expiring ACA subsidies, Medicare Advantage margin recovery, and shifting reimbursement dynamics are reshaping financial performance and strategy across the healthcare industry.
Steve Milloy reviews Trump's fossil-fuel agenda, EPA rollback of the 2009 endangerment finding, and concerns that litigation delays and Justice Department staffing could let a future Democratic administration reverse course. The speaker attacks the National Academy of Sciences as climate activists, cites a climate chapter in a judges' science manual, notes Elena Kagan said she didn't read it, and urges cutting NAS funding. They praise Matt Wielicki's appointment to lead the U.S. Global Change Research Program. They argue wildfire-smoke PM2.5 health scares lacked NYC hospital spikes, criticize linear no-threshold regulation (radiation, PFAS), and discuss Yucca Mountain standards. They describe shareholder activism against corporate ESG (Netflix, Exxon), criticize carbon capture subsidies, and praise young “climate realist” advocates.00:00 Trump EPA Rollbacks01:37 NAS Versus Trump04:16 Defunding NAS Push06:30 Kagan Foreword Controversy08:24 Climate Realist Appointment09:43 Democrats And Green Money11:59 Big Tech Climate Censorship13:21 X Algorithms And Reach16:10 Viral Tweet No Warming18:20 Wildfire Smoke Reality Check22:30 EPA PM2.5 Experiments26:12 LNT Model And Hormesis30:18 Yucca Mountain Absurdity32:37 PFAS And Low Dose Effects33:37 Forever Chemicals Are Inert34:41 Dose Makes the Poison36:34 Parts Per Trillion Panic37:31 Why Fear Spreads38:06 Conservative Shareholder Activism41:07 Exxon and ESG Battles42:23 Carbon Capture Reality Check43:53 Subsidies and Nanny Government45:31 Next Gen Climate Realists47:43 Awards and Staying the Course50:31 NASA Names and Media Retreat56:01 Debate Challenge and Wrap UpSteve on X: https://x.com/JunkScienceWeb: https://junkscience.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
A judgement call's looming from Cabinet on whether it continues temporary fuel support payments. Lower income working families have been receiving $50 a week since April, in response to unpredictable fuel prices. It was due to be in place for a year or until the price of a litre of 91-octane petrol held below $3 for four weeks – this is being reviewed as the threshold nears. Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones told Mike Hosking they're putting a lot of thought into this. He says although we've had under $3 prices, the reality is there's still a spike.

Corn subsidies, cartoon tigers, and fake health claims turned sugar into breakfast. Nick Pell digs to the bottom of the box on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1359On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Your innocent bowl of Corn Flakes was invented by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg — a Seventh-Day Adventist convinced that bland, flavorless food would stop people from masturbating. The great American breakfast staple is, at its root, a failed anti-vice experiment that accidentally became candy."Part of a balanced breakfast" and "the most important meal of the day" aren't dietician wisdom — the latter was minted by a 1944 Kellogg's ad campaign and simply repeated until it felt like science. The health halo around cereal was written by marketers, not doctors.Nutritionally, sugary cereal is equivalent to ice cream — some brands run north of 50% sugar with barely any protein or fiber. It spikes your blood sugar, leaves you hungry an hour later, and was engineered to be sold to six-year-olds parked in front of Saturday cartoons.Cereal stays cheap and unchallenged for a reason: corn is America's most subsidized crop — $9.3 billion in 2024 — and a phrase like "high in fiber" has no legal definition. Subsidies quietly fund the sugar while toothless FTC rules protect the claims on the box.The fix is refreshingly doable: treat cereal as an occasional treat, not a daily staple. Hunt down low-sugar or protein options, swap milk for Greek yogurt, or lean on eggs, oats and fruit. Give a better habit a month; small morning choices compound into real quality of life.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

On this week's episode, I'm rejoined by Chris Fenton to discuss efforts to pass a federal tax credit that would help reshore American film production and his own made-in-America film, Bad Counselors, which hits theaters next week. Things got a little spicy as we debated some of the downsides of these programs—and how they might come to pass—but let's make sure to maintain a respectful tone in the comments if you choose to weigh in.

This Week in Cleantech is a weekly podcast covering the most impactful stories in clean energy and climate featuring Paul Gerke of Factor This and Tigercomm's Mike Casey.This week's episode features special guest Martha Muir from The Financial Times, who discusses how the cost of clean energy power purchase agreements is set to rise 40 to 120 percent as Inflation Reduction Act subsidies wind down.This week's “Cleantecher of the Week” is Dr. Bill Ho, CEO of GRST, whose company makes a PFAS-free, water-soluble battery binder. Conventional binder relies on "forever chemicals" and toxic solvents to process. GRST's version dissolves in water, making recycling to high-purity black mass simpler and cheaper.

You may remember that Morgan McSweeney was one of Keir Starmer's fall guys in the Mandelson scandal. He ran the Labour Party's 2024 campaign that saw Labour land a comparatively small amount of the vote (37%) in exactly the right places to give them a stonking great majority and end 14 years of Tory rule. It ended badly for McSweeney. It's ending badly for Starmer, and a bloke who never got elected by Britain is going to run the place in a few weeks, theoretically for the next three years. I tell you this because McSweeney has never spoken before, until now. What he says is fascinating. He claims the party didn't prepare properly for power, didn't think about how the world had changed since they were last in Government, didn't talk about it enough, and didn't plan, and that's why Starmer was such a disaster. What makes it fascinating for us is: 1) It was Starmer and Labour that Chris Hipkins visited in Liverpool at their conference to get tips. 2) It's Hipkins and Labour, according to former MP and Speaker Trevor Mallard, who ended up at the Featherston book fair telling exactly the same story about his party. So do we have a theme, or a trait? Are Labour groupings essentially lazy, or blind, or arrogant? Or a combination of all three? Labour NZ 2017 set a record in working groups because they hadn't prepared for Government. They had nine years to do so. Labour in Britain had 14 years. Perhaps as interesting is Peter Dunne's latest column in Newsroom where he reports that the recent Labour congress here was well staged but lacked anything new. Subsidies for apprenticeships are worthy, but dull, and reminds voters of the economic mess Labour last got us into. Do labour movements lack imagination? The two may be coincidental, but they might not be. Is Labour about simply waiting for the other lot to lose? At their heart, are they not actually up for a bit of hard work and prep? New Zealand Labour were jettisoned for a calamitous record. British Labour would be on the verge of it if they didn't have five-year terms. McSweeney, Mallard, and Dunne all tell a similar story. If you're a potential Labour supporter here, surely that story is worrying, if not frightening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
New federal data first reported by The Associated Press show roughly 2.6 million fewer Americans were enrolled in Obamacare plans this February compared with a year earlier. While the Trump administration points to a crackdown on fraudulent signups, independent analysts say the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies and new eligibility restrictions also contributed to the decline.

Over recent decades, global shocks such as the Global Food, Fuel and Financial Crisis of 2007–2009, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine, have driven countries to rapidly scale up social protection measures, including subsidies, to cushion households from rising food and energy prices. Increasing attention has also been placed on shock-responsive measures to address climate disasters and other crises. The recent conflict in the Middle East and disruptions to energy infrastructure and oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have once again highlighted the vulnerability of global energy and food systems. While oil flows have resumed, markets are expected to stabilise over time, with continued impacts on energy prices, agricultural inputs and household budgets. In this first episode of a two-part discussion on subsidies, we draw on recent analyses to explore why such policies continue to account for over half of global responses to price shocks despite their regressive nature and significant fiscal costs, and what it would take to strengthen social protection systems as more effective and sustainable alternatives. Why do governments continue to rely on subsidies despite these challenges? What prevents social protection systems from playing a larger role during crises? And what would it take to build systems that can respond more quickly and effectively when the next shock hits? * This episode was recorded on 17 June 2026. While we recognize that there have been further developments in the Iran-US peace talks, the discussions in this episode remain relevant and continue to provide valuable context. Meet our guests: Giovanna Mazzeo Ortolani, Social Protection Specialist, FAO Yannick Hemmerlé, Economist, OECD Economics Department For our Quick Wins segment, we spoke with Marina Carvalho, Project Manager at socialprotection.org, who introduced some of the key features and improvements of the new socialprotection.org platform, launched in June!

For three decades, India has been advised on the importance of fiscal discipline, with recommendations to maintain tight deficits, rationalise subsidies and allow market-driven allocations. India has largely adhered to these guidelines, often with difficulty and under close observation. In contrast, the world's second-largest economy has been implementing one of the largest industrial subsidy programmes in history, which international bodies have not openly addressed.
