Trump Lifts Biden-Era Restrictions On Commercial Fishing In Atlantic Marine Monument
Authored by Kimberly Hayek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
President Donald Trump revoked a prohibition on commercial fishing in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument on Friday, restoring rules that allow regulated harvesting in the protected Atlantic waters while citing existing federal laws as adequate safeguards for the area's ecosystems.

The move reverses a 2021 decision by President Joe Biden that reinstated fishing restrictions in the roughly 4,913-square-mile monument, located where the continental shelf meets the Atlantic Ocean off New England. The monument was created by President Barack Obama's Proclamation 9496 in 2016.
In Trump's proclamation, he said that well-regulated commercial fishing is in the public interest.

US tariffs force German carmakers to choose between localization and brand power (Digitimes)
|
|
|
After the United States formally imposed a 15 percent import tariff on European automobiles, Germany's three largest carmakers—Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz—have found themselves forced to navigate a difficult trade-off between brand identity and geopolitical reality. Facing the same policy shock, the three companies have responded in markedly different ways, offering a revealing case study for global automakers and supply chains grappling with a more protectionist era....

Gambling Stocks Slide Ahead Of Super Bowl As Prediction Markets Shine
The rise of prediction markets ahead of Super Bowl weekend has become a major overhang for legacy sportsbooks, prompting investors to de-risk their equity positions and sending shares of Flutter Entertainment (owner of FanDuel) and rival DraftKings sharply lower year to date.
Today's matchup between Seattle and New England at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is expected to drive record trading volumes on prediction markets, according to Jordan Bender, a senior equity analyst at Citizens.
"A big piece of why we think Super Bowl handle will be down is that prediction markets are taking a bite out of that," Bender said.
Since the 2024 presidential election cycle, prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket have attracted growing trading volumes that would have traditionally flowed to sportsbook apps.
Professional sports gambler Rufus Peabody told Bloomberg, "It really feels like everything's prediction mark...

The Guardian view on student loans: a graduate levy by stealth is no way to fund the NHS | Editorial (The Guardian)
|
|
|
By freezing thresholds, Labour is quietly loading the cost of public services on to young graduates, while insisting it has not raised taxes at allThe personal finance expert Martin Lewis upbraided the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, for freezing the threshold at which millions of graduates repay their loans, saying that this was treating student debts like tax. He was right, and Ms Reeves's defence last weekend made his case for him. She argued that her decision would help to fund a reduction in patient waiting lists. But money used to repay student loans cannot simultaneously fund public services. In economic terms, such charges are taxes in all but name.Mr Lewis's reasoning was nuanced. He pointed out that freezing the repayment threshold is either a retrospective rewriting of the terms of a private contract or a targeted tax rise on a cohort of young people. Neither, he said, fits Ms Reeves's claim that the policy is “fair and reasonable”. There are five student “loan” plans in operation co...
