☆ Opinion: Why Biden is lying low ahead of 2024
  + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Julian Zelizer | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Editor’s Note: Julian Zelizer, a CNN political analyst, is a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University. But when the ensuing conversation doesn’t go his way, he unleashes on them, declaring, “You are not serious figures. I love you, but you are not serious people.”The line is powerful — and may just capture the way President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are approaching the declared and expected GOP candidates ahead of the 2024 campaign. Among the GOP candidates, former President Donald Trump was the first to announce his campaign five months ago. Biden might be boring and fly under the radar much of the time, but that is the image of normality that helped him win in 2020.

☆ Powell is leader of the free world – for now
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Lauren Silva Laughlin | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +8 min
As former President Donald Trump will attest, Powell will do what he thinks it’s right. This month, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, a left-wing firebrand, went on TV and called Powell a “dangerous man,” saying she doesn’t think that he should be Fed Chair. CNN television host Jake Tapper asked her if she had told Biden that Powell should be fired. Then Trump called Powell “a golfer who can’t putt, has no touch.” Trump wanted economic growth. Powell resisted and later responded saying that the Fed chair, more than anyone else, needs to be free from political pressures.
☆ The Wrong Indictment Against Trump
  + stars: | 2023-03-24 | by ( Peggy Noonan | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
The New York Times last week recounted the memories of Ben Barnes , 84, who traveled to the Mideast in the summer of 1980, at the height of the U.S. presidential election, with his political mentor, Texas political powerhouse John Connally . There, Mr. Barnes said, Connally urged heads of state not to push for a deal with President Jimmy Carter to release the American hostages held in Iran, but to wait for Ronald Reagan to offer a better one. Highly partisan Democrats are like their Republican counterparts in that they always think their man didn’t lose but was cheated out of what was his. However: Reagan beat Mr. Carter, an incumbent president with all an incumbency’s powers, 489 electoral votes to 49. America hadn’t seen a sitting president lose in a landslide since FDR took out Herbert Hoover in 1932.
☆ The Fed is likely to hike rates by a quarter point but it must also reassure it can contain a banking crisis
  + stars: | 2023-03-21 | by ( Patti Domm | In | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Investors will be looking for assurances from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell that the central bank can contain the banking problems. Expectations for Fed rate hikes also moved dramatically: What was expected to be a half-point hike two weeks ago is now up for debate at a quarter point or even zero. He said the Fed will not likely say it is going to pause, but its messaging could be interpreted that way. Depending on their [projections], I think the market will think this is the final hike." Swonk also expects the Fed to withhold its so-called dot plot, the chart on which it shows anonymous forecasts from Fed officials on the path for interest rates.
☆ Kathy Hochul’s Plan to Force NYC Suburbs to Approve More Housing Sparks Battle
  + stars: | 2023-03-20 | by ( Jimmy Vielkind | Photographs Jeenah Moon For The Wall Street Journal | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
HUNTINGTON, N.Y.—Backhoes are finally clearing the earth for the development of Matinecock Court, an affordable-housing complex in this Long Island suburb that was first proposed 45 years ago. To housing advocates, a multifamily project first floated when Jimmy Carter was president is the ultimate example of unreasonably restrictive suburban zoning and the reason for a push by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul to change the rules. To Long Island officials, who have long been concerned about traffic and school crowding, Matinecock Court was a challenge to the inviolate need for local control over land-use decisions.
☆ A GOP politician tried to use the Iran hostage crisis to help Reagan in the 1980 election. The man who accompanied him wants to come clean to Jimmy Carter: 'History needs to know that this happened'

GOP politician Ben Barnes said his mentor worked to influence the 1980 election in favor of Reagan. John Connally asked Middle East leaders to delay the release of Iranian hostages. "History needs to know that this happened," Barnes told The New York Times. "I'll go to my grave believing that it was the purpose of the trip," Barnes told the Times. Barnes told the Times he finally decided to share the details of the trip following the news that Carter admitted himself to hospice care.

News that Jimmy Carter , 98, has entered hospice care sparked an outpouring of appreciation and admiration from many corners, including the fans and surviving members of the Allman Brothers Band. The group played a crucial role in his bid for the 1976 Democratic nomination and then the presidency. “The Allman Brothers helped put me in the White House by raising money when I didn’t have any,” Mr. Carter said in the documentary film “Jimmy Carter: Rock and Roll President.”As the then-governor of Georgia began his presidential campaign in early 1974, the Macon, Ga.-based band was the most popular act in the nation, riding high on their hit album “Brothers and Sisters” and its smash single “Ramblin’ Man.” The band’s co-frontman Gregg Allman was emerging as a national celebrity, a status sealed by his 1975 marriage to Cher.

Smith Collection/Gado/Getty ImagesIn 1973, Arab countries that were part of OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) imposed an oil embargo on the United States in retaliation for their military support of Israel during the Yom Kippur War.

Jimmy Chang, the CIO of Rockefeller Capital Management, believes the best case scenario for stocks in 2023 is to trade sideways. Despite this, he says there's ample opportunities to be found as the Chinese economy reopens. He defines "old economy" stocks as those in more traditional industries like industrials and commodities, as well as those that directly benefit from global aging demographics, such as healthcare and life sciences. While utilities and consumer staples stocks are also typically more recession-proof, Chang believes that valuations are currently too high for both sectors. "I would rather participate in this Chinese rebound through the resource market, for example, owning commodities," he explained.

Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, have both transitioned into hospice care at home. The Carter Center announced that Mrs. Carter, 96, who has dementia, entered hospice in November, and that “she and President Carter are spending time with each other and their family.”Hospice provides end-of-life palliative care with a focus on the patient’s comfort and dignity. Hospice agencies offer access to physicians, nurses, health aides, social workers and chaplains who assist patients and their families with everything from symptom management to funeral arrangements. The care is typically provided where the patient lives, whether that’s at a private home or in an assisted living facility. Hospice “is really focused on caring for people — and their caregivers or loved ones — to help them have the best quality of life possible for the time that they have left.”Here’s what hospice care entails and how to decide if and when it’s right for you or your loved one.

☆ Reasons Plane Travel, Airline Customer Service, Airports Are so Terrible
  + stars: | 2023-02-20 | by ( Bartie Scott | Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +15 min
It's almost impossible to imagine a time when air travel was pleasant, much less enjoyable. Lost baggage, overbooked flights, outdated equipment, hidden fees, and disorganized staffing have fliers at their wits' end; consumer complaints about airline service have risen by 300% from pre-pandemic levels. Many of these measures had been put in place to improve safety following some rattling accidents in the early days of commercial air travel. So in 1978, at the urging of the economist and "inflation czar" Alfred Kahn, President Jimmy Carter enacted the Airline Deregulation Act. He added that "airline service, by any standard, has become unacceptable."
