In January 2012, the Obama administration rejected the first proposal to build this pipeline, claiming that more time was needed to fully assess the
various impacts this pipeline might have on the United States before a final decision could be made. A few months later, the TransCanada Corporation
submitted a new proposal, detailing a revised plan for building the Keystone XL pipeline.
In November 2015, the Obama administration formally rejected TransCanada's application for the Keystone XL pipeline. In announcing his decision,
President Obama said that "shipping dirtier crude oil into our country would not increase America's energy security" and that approving this project
would have undercut America's role as a global leader on combatting climate change. In January 2017, the Trump administration signed an executive
order approving the project, but TransCanada may never complete the project because it may no longer be commercially viable due to lower energy
costs and less demand for…
explain why there's a correlation between the global city and the poor
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Elon Musk of Space X have taken risks to build to their businesses and been successful at it. The fundamental premise for their success mostly hinges on the ownership of private property and free market forces. For billionaires like them who have made their wealth mostly based on their own effort and perseverance, would it be fair to impose high income tax on them to redistribute their wealth to help the poor?

- During the Trump Presidency the administration sought to reduce the research budget of many federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health. Bloomberg reported: President Donald Trump is proposing big cuts to biomedical research as part of a budget to reduce discretionary spending at the Department of Health and Human Services by 23 percent -- a move likely to provoke outcry from lawmakers, research groups, drugmakers and patients. The proposal would cut the budget of the National Institutes of Health -- which conduct and fund medical research by $5.8 billion, or about 18 percent from 2017 levels. The Office of Management and Budget called the change "a major reorganization of NIH's institutes and centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities." "We believe that this cut is dead on arrival on Capitol Hill," said Spencer Perlman, an analyst at Veda Partners. Democrats and Republicans have in the past supported the research agency…arrow_forwardSuppose the government of Marina decides to pay for public radio by taxing people on the basis of the number of hours they listen to it. In order to determine the tax, it decides to conduct a survey. However, if the survey is based on voluntary self-reporting. which of the following is likely to happen? In order to evade taxes, individuals may shift from the formal, reported economy to an underground, "off the books" economy. Many individuals may understate the number of hours they listen to public radio to government in order to reduce their tax bill. c. People who report many hours of listening may pay a small proportion of their income in public radio tax. Many individuals may overstate the number of hours they listen to public radio to government in order to receive a lower tax bill. e. Individuals with higher incomes may pay lower taxes than individuals with lower income.arrow_forwardA recent trend in health insurance is the Health Savings Account (HSA). The idea behind Health Savings Accounts is that rather than providing employees with health insurance that makes visiting doctors cost little more than a simple $10 or $20 copay the employer gives the employee money to use to spend on health care, but the employee bares the entire cost of seeing the doctor. What money given for health care not spent by the employee can be withdrawn by the employee as if it was additional income. It is believed that Health Savings Accounts will reduce the total amount of money spent on seeing doctors. Using Supply and Demand analysis, explain why there is the expectation that HSA’s will reduce spending on doctors.arrow_forward
- On 24 February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave orders for Russian troops to invade Ukraine. This invasion of Ukraine followed statements by the Russian government that Ukrainian soldiers had destroyed a Russian Security border facility and attempted to enter Russian territory illegally; accusations which Ukrainian officials strongly denied.

In an attempt to try and resolve the conflict, President Putin of Russia and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine have agreed to engage with one another surrounding ways of coming to a peaceful agreement between the two sides. Another round of peace negotiations were scheduled to take place on 16 March 2022.

We estimate the effect of rising health insurance premiums on wages, employment, and the distribution of part‐time and full‐time work using variation in medical malpractice payments driven by the recent “medical malpractice crisis.” We estimate that a 10% increase in health insurance premiums reduces the aggregate probability of being employed by 1.2 percentage points, reduces hours worked by 2.4%, and increases the likelihood that a worker is employed only part time by 1.9 percentage points. For workers covered by employer provided health insurance, this increase in premiums results in an offsetting decrease in wages of 2.3%.

- According to a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, plant-based foods are “a really hot topic at the moment”. Irregular shopping habits that began during the pandemic, with panic buying and supply-chain issues, have also pushed more people to buy plant-based milk. Despite strong demand for basic foods like dairy products amid the coronavirus pandemic, the milk supply chain has seen a host of disruptions that are preventing dairy farmers from getting their products to market. Plant milk sales in the United States totaled $2.5 billion at the end of 2020, accounting for 15% of all retail sales of milk, and 35% of the larger market for plant-based foods. By the end of 2026, Olson said, sales of dairy alternatives are projected to make up 30% of all milk sales. Much of that growth, Purcell said, will come from small-batch producers. i.
