3:20pm- Christian Schneider of National Review documents the threat of a proposed “link tax”: “Take legislation currently working its way through Congress that would force Big Tech companies to the bargaining table, allowing traditional media outlets to extract a mandatory fee for allowing Google and Facebook to link to their stories. The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), would effectively make the local news industry dependent on the government for revenue, setting up a state-run media system that would induce any local paper to think twice about criticizing politicians who voted to stuff their bank accounts.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/11/the-link-tax-government-subsidized-state-media/

3:40pm- According to data from the American Farm Bureau Federation, “this year’s classic Thanksgiving feast for 10 will be $61.17, or approximately $6.12 per guest. This represents a 4.5% decline from historically high prices last year, driven by a decline in the price of the Thanksgiving dinner centerpiece—the turkey. Despite the year-over-year relief, the cost is still 25% higher compared to 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.” You can read economist Betty Resnick’s report here: https://www.fb.org/market-intel/thanksgiving-dinner-cost-relief-but-still-high-relative-to-recent-years

4:15pm- Alastair Gale of The Wall Street Journal warns that new Chinese submarines, equipped with cutting-edge technology, can now rival U.S. submarine dominance. He writes: “Much of China’s current submarine technology comes from reverse-engineering diesel-electric submarines bought from Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Closer military ties between Moscow and Beijing in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have spurred concerns that Russia may be willing to share some of its advanced submarine technology with China, but there have been no clear indications of such transfers…Simulations of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan conducted by American military analysts often assume U.S. submarines would try to sink ships in the attacking Chinese fleet. The destruction of Chinese ships could help blunt the invasion and enable Taiwan to better defend itself, some of the simulations show, but a greater threat to U.S. submarines would complicate that task.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/world/china/us-submarine-dominance-shift-china-8db10a0d?mod=hp_lead_pos8
