Former Kentucky Democratic state repr
Former Kentucky Democratic state representative and gubernatorial candidate Rocky Adkins said in a 2019 radio interview that in addition to his personal beliefs, his votes represent the views of his constituents in a "very conservative district." Bruce Maloch, who no longer serves in the state legislature, is one of the Arkansas Democrats who voted in favor of the state's trigger ban. He was described as a "a deer-hunting, abortion-opposing local Baptist deacon" in a 2020 local newspaper...

NUMBER OF THE DAY: -31.3
NUMBER OF THE DAY: -31.3In the latest sign of turbulence in the US economy, New York-area manufacturing suffered a large and unexpected setback in August, according to a survey released on Monday. The Empire State Manufacturing Survey plunged 42 points in August to minus-31.3. That marks the second-largest monthly decline on record for this closely watched gauge of economic activity. Any reading below zero indicates a contraction. Economists had expected a more modest slowdown in the survey t...

A benchmark measure of inflation slowed
A benchmark measure of inflation slowed in July after surging in the previous month, offering a glimmer of hope that the painful inflation Americans are facing could moderate in the coming months. The Producer Price Index, which captures prices paid to producers for their goods and services, was 9.8% higher in July, compared with a year earlier. That's a slowdown from a sharp 11.3% year-over-year spike in June, according to data released Thursday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. On a m...

But, even when as the lines diverge from one another
But, even when as the lines diverge from one another, the overall trend for electrified vehicle shopping interest still generally paralleled gas price trends going up somewhat when gas prices rose. That still indicates a strong pull, said Drury. It just became less strong after that initial run-up in gas prices. When gas prices first started rising sharply in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, consumers probably saw it as a new phenomenon and were uncertain how high pr...

The growing environmental crisis is now
The growing environmental crisis is now catching the attention of lawmakers from Europe to the United States, as well as communities in the developing nations where e-waste has historically been offshored. EU officials last month approved a new law requiring all phones and electronics to use a standard, brand-agnostic charger, with the potential to limit how many different wires the average consumer needs to own. Three progressive American lawmakers urged in a letter for the US to follow suit...
