CURBING DRUNK DRIVERS T
he National Transportation Safety Board is recommending that all new
vehicles in the U.S. be equipped with blood alcohol monitoring systems that can stop an intoxicated person from driving. The recommendation, if enacted
by the National Highway Trafic Safety Administration, could reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes, one of the biggest causes of highway deaths in the country.
Nearly 43,000 people were killed
in auto accidents last year, the greatest number in 16 years, as Americans returned to roads after the pandemic.
P Biden’s COVID Confusion T
resident joe biden’s declaration in september that the covid- 19 pandemic is “over” came as a shock to many in his administration. The president’s comment to CBS News reporter Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes came while the White House is still relying on the steady
number of infections and deaths to push its legislative agenda, which includes seeking an additional $22.4 billion from Congress to fight the virus, pushing an updated vaccine, keeping vaccine mandates in place, and even forgiving student loans.
Biden attempted to clarify his remarks two days later, saying he had only
intended to suggest the pandemic was no longer as bad as it had been. Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., tweeted that the “ongoing ‘public health emergency’
was the entire basis for Biden’s unconstitutional student loan forgiveness plan,” and Banks called for “emergency powers, vaccine mandates, and COVID fund- ing requests” to be “voided.” Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., tweeted that Biden “just asked Congress to pass $22
billion in new pandemic funding because he said the pandemic was NOT over!” Children as young as two enrolled in Head Start programs are still being
required to wear masks, despite consistent research showing they are at little risk, continuing doubts about the value of masking amid updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that advocate more lenient COVID-19 policies. Members of the armed services are also still required to roll up their sleeves
and take a COVID-19 vaccine despite evidence that the virus spreads regardless of a person’s vaccination status. Mike Pompeo, who served as secretary of state during the Trump adminis-
tration and is a former U.S. Army officer, called for unvaccinated soldiers to be “reinstated immediately” following Biden’s interview.
a small container of Greek yogurt. Howard Farley, 90, of Nome, said the
payments, which would be more than $16,000 for a family of five, are much needed. He said gas is $7 a gallon and will remain that way until the next shipment arrives in the spring because barges cannot deliver once the Bering Sea freezes. Mildred Jonathan, 74, and her husband,
Alfred, 79, live about 100 miles west of the Canadian border in the interior village of Tanacross. There was no frivolous spending when they received their paper check in October. Instead, the Jonathans’ major purchase was firewood. “The wood is $1,600, and it’s a 10-cord load,” she said. “I’ll survive the winter with that.”
FEE — OR FREE
he Portland Institute for Contemporary Art staged a “Black
Feast: Black Imagerial” event in Oregon in late September where Black entrants got in free or submitted a donation in an amount of their choosing — while others were charged an $80 admission fee. The three-hour event, promoted as
“celebrating Black artists and writers through food” and limited to 40 people, apparently sold out, according to the institute’s website. Its advertisement specified that
Black guests could attend for free. It also encouraged Black patrons to use a promo code “blackmovement” to receive the free tickets.
INFANT FORMULA FIASCO T
he Food and Drug Administration acknowledged its response to the
infant formula shortage was slowed by delays in processing a whistleblower complaint and test samples from the nation’s largest formula factory. The FDA said a whistleblower had
tried to warn it of problems at the Abbott plant in Michigan in September 2021, but government inspectors didn’t investigate until February after four infants became sick, resulting in two deaths.
The shortage, which is ongoing,
forced the U.S. to airlift millions of pounds of powdered formula from overseas.
