OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.

I DON’T SEE THIS AS PROPER FCC TURF: FCC reaffirms orbital debris mitigation rules. Orbital debris is a serious problem — I’ve been writing about it for years — but it’s a space-utilization problem, not a communications problem. This is a power grab utilizing regulatory leveraging. I hope Congress fixes this in pending legislation.

@mcuban and all of the companies he has invested in need to be investigated immediately. He has openly admitted to violating Federal law. When should we expect him to be brought before Congress?

MYSTERY SOLVED: We Know Now Why Boeing’s Door Plug Bolts Didn’t Do Their Job. “The latest revelation is especially damning: the plane that sparked a new round of questions over Boeing’s ability to ensure its jets’ safety left the factory without the door plug bolts installed. They weren’t just loose — as door plug bolts on other aircraft were found to be upon mandatory post-incident inspections — they weren’t there. . . . If, as the evidence points, Boeing sent the 737 MAX 9 into service with Alaska entirely missing the bolts needed to keep the door plug in place, it seems there’s a lot more oversight necessary to ensure the bare minimum of quality control is achieved on the assembly line.”

BUT WITHOUT PEOPLE AROUND TO SUPERVISE, WHAT’S THE POINT OF BEING A SUPERVISOR? Office mandates don’t help companies make more money, study finds.

WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: Tesla Model Y Was the World’s Best-Selling Vehicle in 2023.

YES, YOU VOTED FOR THIS WHEN YOU VOTED FOR ELECTRIC CARS: Oil companies used to run this town. Now they’re back—to mine for lithium.

“A CASH COW FOR HOSPITALS:” Hospitals given federal 340B Drug Pricing Program discounts to support their service for low-income populations marked up the cost of outpatient infusion drugs for privately insured patients substantially more than other hospitals, a study showed.. “This analysis shows that a government program meant to provide incentives to serve lower income Americans is actually a cash cow for hospitals with little accountability for whether that extra profit is allocated towards the population 340B is intended to serve.”

Wow, who could have seen that coming?

GOOD: Man who stole and leaked Trump tax records sentenced to 5 years in prison.

THIS SOUNDS KIND OF FAMILIAR, ACTUALLY: Section Three and the “First Insurrection” … That Wasn’t. “Their brief is an unsuccessful attempt to place someone who wasn’t there at an insurrection that did not occur. Even more damningly for their side, the brief calls attention to an 1862 statute that actually blows a hole through the already weak originalist case for disqualification.”

Placing someone who wasn’t there at an insurrection that did not occur is the January 6 case against Trump.

NO, IT’S A STRATEGY: Our Open Border Policy Is Not an Accident. There’s a new strategy in town: If American voters don’t like what you are offering, import better voters.
