Stocks Tumble, Nasdaq Drops to Two-Year Low
|
CNBC: Stocks closed lower on Monday with the Nasdaq Composite index falling to the lowest level in two years as tech shares continue to be the hardest hit in this bear market because of spiking interest rates. The declines came as JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned that the U.S. would likely fall into a recession in 2023, and that it may not be just a mild economic contraction as some economists have projected. A policy change weighed on semiconductor stocks after the Biden administration announced new export controls that limit U.S. companies selling advanced computing semiconductors and related manufacturing equipment to China. Tech shares have also been hit the hardest in this sell-off as rising rates expose their relatively high valuations and raise their cost of capital ( CNBC). Wall Street Journal: The S&P 500 turned lower after opening with slight gains, shedding 27.27 points, or 0.7%, to close at 3612.39. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 93.91 points, or 0.3%, to 29202.88 while the Nasdaq Composite fell 110.30 points, or 1%, to 10542.10 ( Wall Street Journal).

Ipsos Poll: The economy (30%), crime or corruption (9%), and the end of national abortion rights (8%) are the top three issues for Americans this week. The economy has been at the top of Americans’ list for a full year now ( Ipsos).

Windy City Exodus: Tyson Foods Leaves Chicago for Arkansas
|
Daily Wire: Tyson Foods announced last week that all employees in the Chicago area would be relocated, rendering the meat and poultry company one of multiple businesses to pull operations from the Windy City in recent months. Beginning next year, Tyson staffers will relocate from Chicago and Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, toward the firm’s corporate headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas, which will receive upgrades designed to enhance worker creativity and collaboration ( Daily Wire). Fox Business: “You’re talking about a situation where you have a hollowed out economy, where you have businesses leaving, there are no jobs,” Heritage Foundation senior research fellow in the Center for Health and Welfare Policy Robert Moffit told Fox News Digital last month. “And the people who are desperately hurt by this are mostly low income and black and minority residents who suffer the most from this high crime.” Moffit’s comments came after McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski took aim at Chicago in a mid-September speech, arguing that the city’s rising crime rates have made it increasingly difficult for companies to operate or find employees ( Fox Business).

Kamal Harris Says, “Nobody Should Have to Go to Jail for Smoking Weed,” Despite Her Record for Pot Prosecutions
|
Hill: Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that ‘no one’ should go to jail for smoking marijuana over the weekend, despite the fact she oversaw 2,000 convictions as a prosecutor in San Francisco. ‘We are also changing, y’all might have heard that this week, the federal government’s approach to marijuana,’ Harris said on Saturday at an event in Austin, Texas. ‘Because the bottom line there is: Nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed,’ the vice president continued ( Hill). Fox News: While running for state attorney general in 2010, Harris opposed a state-wide ballot measure to green light marijuana use, calling the initiative “flawed public policy.” Harris also admitted to smoking weed in college during a radio interview while running for president and ticked off her father, the Jamaican-born Donald Harris, when she invoked her heritage while saying she would support pot legalization. “Half my family’s from Jamaica,” Harris said. “Are you kidding me” ( Fox News).

President of Teachers Union Randi Weingarten Visits Ukraine as American Schools Falter
|
Fox News: American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten faced criticism from some on social media for taking a trip to Ukraine while many U.S. schools are floundering. Weingarten is joining pediatrician and public health activist Dr. Irwin Redlener, Karen Redlener and Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum in Ukraine this week to meet with Ukrainian students and teachers displaced by the war. The group went “to offer solidarity and support in the face of relentless attacks that have forced hundreds of thousands of refugees to flee the country’s east” ( Fox News). Matt Whitlock: In Ukraine, kids got stuck with extended remote learning because of an actual war. In America kids got stuck with extended remote learning because of Randi Weingarten ( Twitter).

Russian-Speaking Hackers Claim Responsibility for Disrupting 14 American Airport Websites
|
CNN: More than a dozen public-facing airport websites, including those for some of the nation’s largest airports, appeared inaccessible Monday morning, and Russian-speaking hackers claimed responsibility. No immediate signs of impact to actual air travel were reported, suggesting the issue may be an inconvenience for people seeking travel information. The 14 websites include the one for Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The hacking group known as Killnet listed multiple US airports as targets. It stepped up activity to target organizations in NATO countries after Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine. The loosely organized “hacktivists” are politically motivated to support the Kremlin but ties to Moscow are unknown. The group claimed responsibility last week for knocking offline US state governments websites ( CNN). Axios: DDoS attacks work by overwhelming a targeted server, service or network with a flood of internet traffic and either force websites offline or make them very slow to respond to legitimate traffic. The affected airports included Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and New York City’s LaGuardia Airport ( Axios).

Selective Service Requirements: Trans Women Must Register While Trans Men Off the Hook
|
American Military News: Under President Joe Biden’s administration, transgender women who are born male must register for the Selective Service, which provides the Defense Department with troops in the event of a military draft. Transgender men who are born female do not have to register for the Selective Service. While the policy was established before Biden took office, the Biden administration has not changed the standard. According to the Selective Service System website, nearly “all male US citizens and male immigrants, who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service” ( American Military News). Selective Service: Parents, if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name, he is still required to register with SSS ( Twitter).

Russia Launches Slew of Missiles Across Ukrainian Cities, Killing at Least 14
|
Wall Street Journal: Waves of Russian missiles slammed into Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities in one of the broadest and most intense barrages of the war, in response to a weekend attack Moscow blamed on Ukraine that seriously damaged a bridge connecting Russia to occupied Crimea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had carried out dozens of strikes using missiles as well as Iranian-made drones to target the country’s electrical grid and other civilian infrastructure. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday warned of a harsh response if Kyiv were to conduct further “terrorist attacks” following weeks of battlefield losses that culminated in the attack on the strategically important Kerch Strait Bridge ( Wall Street Journal). BBC: The US said “brutal” attacks had hit non-military targets and promised ongoing military aid, including advanced air defense systems. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres said he was “deeply shocked” ( BBC). CNBC: The full number of casualties from the attacks is not yet clear, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there were least 14 dead and 97 injured. In addition to the human toll, the strikes damaged significant parts of Ukraine’s energy grid, prompting the nation’s energy ministry to announce it would halt exports of electricity to the European Union starting Tuesday ( CNBC).
