Summary
More tariffs from the Joe Biden administration on Chinese goods are on the way, and he gave his blessing to some Trump-era tariffs. We’ll break it down. Plus, why a story about a local public library becoming an adults-only space may be a warning of things to come. Later, we’ll weigh in on Chuck E. Cheese’s animatronic band, whales sinking yachts and “quiet vacationing” during a round of Half Full / Half Empty!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Biden Extends Tariff Exemptions on Some Imports From China” from Bloomberg
- “Donnelly Public Library announces it will become adults-only library, cites Idaho Legislature’s library bill” from KTVB
- “Employers can offer a new benefit: Matching student loan payments with 401(k) contributions” from Marketplace
- “After Outcry, Chuck E. Cheese Says It Will Keep More Animatronic Bands” from The New York Times
- “The Mad Scientist and the Killer Whales” from Rolling Stone
- “The restaurant reservation resale game is on the rise in New York City” from Marketplace
- “Some younger workers are ‘quiet vacationing’ rather than using PTO” from Marketplace
