Why Elizabeth Warren Is Wrong About Crypto and the Fentanyl Epidemic
"Featured story is an opinion piece by CoinDesk's Daniel Kuhn. Our piece today is entitled, Why Elizabeth Warren is Wrong about Crypto and the Fentanyl Epidemic. For a while, crypto's role in the illegal and gray area drug trade seemed swept under the rug, or at least it was not getting the attention it could have, which is good and which the Fed shuttered back in 2013. It's good because some people have a tendency to moralize about drug use, and the less crypto is linked to crime in general, the less the entire industry will be stigmatized. However, it would arguably be better to be upfront about such things, assuming they're going on, as data now suggests. If crypto ever has a shot at finding a killer use case, or mass user base who understands why blockchains are important. U .S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, is calling for a greater crypto crackdown following new research from blockchain analytics firms Chainalysis and Elliptic that found Bitcoin and Tether, or USDT, have become cornerstone to the global fentanyl trade. These are the same research companies that put out annual reports showing a fraction of a fraction of crypto transactions can be tied to illicit use. Quote, crypto is helping fund the fentanyl trade and we have the power to shut that down, Warren said, continuing, it's time. End quote. The Senator is a longtime critic of crypto, who recently made an incomprehensible anti -crypto army campaign part of her re -election bid. But does the Senator have a point? I already know what the crypto faithful will say. Chainalysis estimates less than 1 % of total crypto transactions are related to crime, so it doesn't matter if Chainalysis is now saying there's evidence. At least $37 .8 million worth of crypto was sent to drug manufacturers in China since 2018. But hold that thought, we'll get back to it. First, let's try to place crypto's alleged use for drug sales in the context of the global drug trade. To start, it's difficult to judge just how large the fentanyl economy is, because it is, by nature, kept mostly out of sight. But if Chainalysis and ellipsis figures are to be meaningful, they need context. According to one source Chainalysis cited, total quote chemical exports, end quote, from China, assumed by most authorities to be the largest manufacturer and exporter of black and gray market drugs, surpassed $100 billion in 2021 alone.

Debt Ceiling Deal Gives Unlimited Debt Until 2025
"All right, friends, well, today, as I said, we are hopefully wrapping up or at least putting a big momentary pause on the macro story that has dominated markets for the past few months. Yes, a deal has been reached in the debt ceiling standoff with both President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy making major concessions in order to move the matter forward. The deal on the table would suspend the debt ceiling entirely until the 1st of January 2025. Presumably this puts off the next dispute over federal borrowing until the middle of that year and uncapping the debt limit in the interim. The core of the argument is a two -year cap on federal spending, although each side is presenting the story slightly differently. The White House claims the spending cap would reduce spending by around $1 trillion over while the GOP argue that spending cuts are twice that level. New York Times analysis puts the spending reduction at around $55 billion next year and another $81 billion the following year. So let's talk about what's actually in the deal. The set of tradeoffs in the deal have caused outrage among numerous groups of ideologically aligned lawmakers and special interest groups on both sides of the aisle to the point where there are few truly happy with the compromise. Now that of course might mean in America's polarized politics that it's actually a good compromise deal. IRS funding has been cut, with $20 billion of the $80 billion in additional funding to bolster the tax department now being repurposed to fund discretionary government programs. And what's worth noting here is that early in the negotiations, this IRS funding was a red line for the president. You will no doubt remember when he said that he would not accept any deal that benefited quote wealthy tax cheats and crypto traders. Another aspect of the deal was that work requirements for food stamps recipients will be expanded. However, the cohort of people this will affect appears to be small. Only impacting recipients aged 50 to 54 while exempting veterans, the homeless and people who grew up in foster care. However, negligible the effect on the budget, the expansion of work requirements within the benefits program was an important symbolic policy for hardline conservatives. And small as the concession might seem, there are still many on the left who are very, very against

As rising oceans threaten NYC, study documents another risk: The city is sinking
"New York City is slowly sinking under the weight of its skyscrapers and other structures built on top of it. I'm Julie Walker, as rising ocean's threat in New York City, a study from the U.S. geological survey documents another risk, the loose soil like artificial fill. That was put in to enhance some of the land areas and that can sink just under its own way because it's so poorly consolidated. And if you build on that, of course, that exacerbates it.

Biden, GOP reach debt-ceiling deal, now Congress must approve it to prevent calamitous default
"A debt ceiling deal has been reached by President Biden and the GOP now Congress must approve it to prevent a potentially disastrous U.S. default. Negotiators agreed to some Republican demands for increased work requirements for food stamp recipients, but stopped short of greater spending cuts overall that Republicans wanted, House speaker Kevin McCarthy calls it an agreement in principle worthy of the American people. As historic reductions in spending, consequential reforms and lift people out of poverty into the workforce, Rey and government overreach, there are no new taxes, no new government programs. In a statement, President Biden says the agreement represents a compromise, which means not everyone gets what they want. Central to the compromise a two year budget deal that would hold spending flat for 2024 and increase it by 1% the following year in exchange for raising the debt limit for two years. Support from both parties will be needed to win congressional approval before a projected June 5th government default. I'm Julie Walker

US study finds 1 in 10 get long COVID after omicron, starts identifying key symptoms
"A new study finds about 10% of people who had the omicron variant of COVID-19 have symptoms of long COVID, but it's a smaller number than originally thought. New research published in the journal of the American medical association studied nearly 9000 adults who had COVID-19 and compared them with those who hadn't been infected. At first, it looked like one in three were getting long COVID. But once more patients were added and the symptoms could be tracked in real time, it looks more like one in ten still had symptoms after 6 months. The national Institutes of health is working to better understand why some people develop long-term debilitating health issues. And others make full recoveries. About a dozen symptoms are found in long COVID, including fatigue, brain fog, stomach, or heart issues, loss of smell or taste, sexual problems, and chronic cough. I'm Jackie Quinn.

DeSantis launches GOP presidential campaign in Twitter announcement plagued by glitches
"Florida's Republican governors announced that he's officially a candidate for president, but the announcement didn't go exactly as planned. Republican governor Ron DeSantis launched his campaign in a special Twitter space's feed. Criticizing President Biden. He lacks vigor, flounders in the face of our nation's challenges, and he takes his cues from the woke mob. But there were technical problems that led to start and stops, audio glitches, and a delay of nearly half an hour. Desantis was asked why he chose Twitter instead of traditional media. He compared it to his COVID lockdown opposition, lamenting a lack of free expression. You had to put your money where your mouth is. Even that was marred by an audio glitch. This is rivals were rough. Donald Trump tweeted the desantis Twitter launch is a disaster. His whole campaign will be a disaster. And Nikki Haley's campaign also called it a failure.

"But not so many for me to think. Wow, this is really a trend. Not just a lot of early adapters that being said Ernst and Young came out and said that EV sales are going to outpace combustion engines within 12 years in Europe, China and the U. S. They're saying By 2045 non electric vehicle sales will be less than 1% of the global car market. Now. I had a guy right me. Over a year ago, Mike Rights and he said, When do you think That half half the trucks will be electric. And I And he then kind of made it a little snide said Oh, so you're clueless. Well, then he waits a year and writes me back. And I still have the same answer. Who knows? It's not a question, making these things and producing them. It's having them come to market where people actually want to buy him. And so far outside of the Tesla Model three. I'm not seeing that level of volume and even its softening a bit. That's neither here nor there. Nobody knows anything on the future, and he wrote me back about. Apparently, I don't read all these papers from all these Wall Street banks and everything else on and so forth. He thought that I knew more about the car business. Apparently, I do. In which case I wrote him a very Lengthy reply. Because in 1998 all the car companies said. We're going to drive hydrogen fuel cell cars. Or has everybody forgotten that General Motors went so far as to say by 2010 100% of their cars would be hydrogen fuel cell cars. That was the deal because I do the automotive news every every day. In the afternoon. I actually pulled my scripts from 1998. How many times do you think I did a story on hydrogen fuel cell cars in 1998? On the news. I did 31 stories that year. With everybody saying it's right around the corner. Well, it's been a generation. There's still not right around the corner now, are they But again, Ernst and Young say this is going to pick up momentum is going to happen, and most of the papers I see on the auto industry written by Wall Street never happen. Never I think they're actually written not to tell us what's coming our way. I think they're written to get money to shuffle around. But their accuracy on predictions Two years out. No less than 10 years out, has just been miserable. In any case, AlixPartners came in and said investments and battery powered automobiles now top $230 billion From the world's automakers, and that I can actually kind of believe that that much money has been spent on research and design, setting up supplier contracts. So on and so forth. I can believe that It has nothing to do with whether you whether you bring the car to market or not, and people buy it. Now. Dr Roosevelt may up at her fines. No sometime last week. Because Hyundai, as they have created the Genesis line for luxury cars, is going to create the Ionic line for electric cars. And I asked Roosevelt, when is this going to happen? And he seems to think it's going to happen maybe before the end of the year. But then my second question have they arranged for you to send mechanics to get training for electric cars? Because to sell electric cars, you have to have a master mechanic for electrics in your store. In fact, you have to have more than one. The more it's group at the Kia stores have now signed up to handle the electric cars, and they're in a holding pattern to on master tax. So between the Huffines group And the more it's group. I count at least five more dealerships in Dallas Fort Worth, They're gonna handle electrics. And I'm going to be honest with you may be the best electric for the money I've driven is the key and narrow. Not the hybrid electric, the full electric It was so efficient if you drove it carefully. Could have made it from here to Houston and one There's no doubt about it. However. In spite of the fact it's great car has good price. Does that mean anybody's gonna buy it? I have no idea. Still don't But everybody is now betting in a decade. We will look at this differently. I'm betting short of a catastrophe. I'm not sure we will. Coming up next. They say they were still fighting over electric push scooters in Dallas, and I think that's probably right. That's next on 5. 70 K L F I'm Dane minor general manager of Freeman to it and Hearst.

"Yeah, this argues for still wearing masks. Even though you've been vaccinated. I think it seems like we've been too quick to abandon the And I myself been guilty of this on occasion. You were too quick to abandon the we think. Oh, you know, I'm vaccinated. I'm golden and you pretty much are But if you're one of these People. These 1000 people at this point who got who get covid. After vaccination. You can be spreading it to other people and not know you're doing it. So that's the best reason and I think and again if you're two weeks post second vaccine, your risk is quite low. So again, Some of those people catching it haven't been fully vaccinated have had their first vaccine or They're shorter than two weeks. The second vaccine, I think if you're fully vaccinated you two weeks out of your second vaccine, the risk of catching us is probably less than 1%. But it's still one in 100. You know, it's a much higher rate of catching us than winning the lottery. So again, you're walking out in much higher risk catching us than being in an automobile accident. And I think that if you're going to be in high risk setting, even though you've been vaccinated And you're surrounded by people that aren't vaccinated. And we know that 50% of Utahns aren't fully vaccinated. So you're flipping applying every time you walk out again if you're outside you probably safe if you're in a well ventilated space, and you're not spending a lot of time there, you probably saved If you're going to an area that's not well ventilated with a lot of people you're hugging, kissing, laughing close to people where they could be vaporizing on you.

"Of these things. Well, when I spoke with you back in March, when this measure was introduced, you said the biggest obstacle for black farmers for generations has been access to credit and the credit you get often takes twice as long. The interest is high. What's your reaction to the stiff resistance from banks on this debt relief? They're essentially saying you paying off your loans will cut into their profits and hurt investors. Right? And you know, this is a banking industry. He was bailed out by the American people. And here they are beaten on black farmers and farmers of color instead of coming out with a long program that would service and help. Black and the other farmers, their color their route, speaking out against the payments, um and worried about what's going into their pockets, but if they open up their bank coffers and lend out more money To blacks and other other small scale bombers. They will continue to make money well, the complaints that come from three banking associations that represent the banks They've gone to so far to say that they'd be less inclined to loan to farmers of color. If the loans were wiped out all at once. They're asking the government to actually pay out more to cover the interest that they lose. But on the subject of being less inclined to lend to farmers of color. This is actually the opposite outcome that you've been fighting for. For the last few decades. That's what I've been trying to do to get the banks to lend us money. And here they are coming out. It's almost in a threatening demeanor towards black farmers. You know, this happens. We're not gonna let you Any more money and those persons are the banks should be held accountable, not only bothered National Black Farmers Association but from the American public on that's and that's what people need to start taking a look at. Why is it always when blacks get a little bit of justice? We get all of this. Resistance on this time from someone. I didn't see it coming the banking industry. There's also something else. Probably what you did see coming in April, Ah Group of white farmers. Actually sued the Department of Agriculture on the grounds that these payments were racist against them. Is this the reaction that you expect it? Well, you know was again It's a continuation of history where blacks would Enslaved on American soul and sharecroppers and survive Jim Crow, and you heard me talk about the length of time I've tried to get debt relief. None of the primary white farm groups signed onto any of the letters, including the banks didn't other. But what about when you got all of the money all of the time? Half trillion dollars since the nineties. 99% of that went to white farmers, and they never saw it as a problem. When blacks didn't get anything when we were representing 14% of the Americas are farmers and that were less than 1% never spoke out against that. John. The reality is is that the farming industry has seen a tremendous shift over the last few decades. You will rely on each other, regardless of race, right? I mean, usually farmers work in larger organizations, and those include both white and black. Do you feel like though these payments drive a wedge in those organizations I believe in and the history here speaks for itself that former President Trump drive the wedge between blacks and white farmers. Administration and Sonny Perdue was the worst agriculture secretary in my tenure towards black farmers when he said You guys had to get big or get out of farming s O. It's gotten worse, and the only way to make it better is to have a real race conversation and the agriculture industry. For blacks and whites, and let's flush this stuff out and have a real conversation. And for the record, I'm not against any farmer getting the help that they really need when Mother Nature and all of these things affect us. But we shouldn't be affected by discrimination in this country. And that's what I'm saying. It's a shows to continuing of how blacks black farmers, another farmers of color have been treated in this country. That was John Boy Junior president of the National Black Farmers Association.
