(The Center Square) – The federal government should help American businesses access highly skilled workers, continue to cut burdensome regulations and perhaps alter some of its tariff policies to expedite reshoring of American manufacturing, several small business leaders told lawmakers Thursday. One of President Donald Trump’s main goals with his tariff policies has been to bring back manufacturing, boosting American jobs and improving national security by reducing U.S. dependence on other countries for manufactured goods. With small businesses employing nearly half of American workers, the House Small Business Committee invited several small business leaders to Capitol Hill to learn which government policies are helping or hurting their role in that intended resurgence. Those small business leaders disagreed on some points about tariffs, but several raised concerns about finding employees who already have the requisite knowledge and training to step into a manufacturing job. Managing Vice President of Policy at the National Association of Manufacturers Charles Crain said that there are roughly 400,000 jobs across the industry that need filling. “Our 30-year veterans are retiring, and we do not have that up-and-coming skilled workforce to take their place,” said Shirley Modlin, owner of 3D Design and Manufacturing in Virginia. Smaller manufacturers need skilled labor as much, if not more, than larger corporations, but it’s difficult to compete with the richer benefits and higher salaries they can often offer. Modlin said training an employee can take up to three months, so it’s helpful to 3D Design when it can hire workers who are already trained. “They have to hit the floor and be able to work, and there is a tremendous shortage of these workers in manufacturing,” Modlin said. “Small manufacturers have to rely on a skilled workforce.” Crain suggested that domestically, the government should support programs starting as early as middle school to educate students on the trades and manufacturing skills. Otherwise, it should strengthen immigration policies that allow American companies to readily hire skilled workers from overseas. Harry Moser, founder and president of the Reshoring Initiative, also testified before the committee. He said the Department of Labor still overemphasizes a traditional career path starting with a four-year college degree, and it should encourage technical training more. Reshoring Initiative also surveyed a number of companies this year about government policies that could make reshoring easier for them and their biggest concern of the options listed was an able workforce. “They gave nice responses for lower taxes, less regulations, lower dollar, things like that, [but] they gave the highest priority to a skilled workforce – significantly higher than any of the other things that politicians typically talk about,” Moser said. “And because they understand that if we're going to increase significantly in manufacturing, you need more people to do it, and you need better trained people.” Countries like Germany, Switzerland, Austria and China have better apprentice programs and training overall than the U.S. does, Moser said. Crain emphasized the importance of a “comprehensive manufacturing strategy” that addresses workforce shortage issues as well as tax, energy, infrastructure and regulatory reform. He believes the extension of the 2017 tax cuts enshrined in the One Big Beautiful budget bill Congress passed over the summer was beneficial for small manufacturers, but permitting and regulatory reform would also go a long way in helping them succeed. Permitting in the U.S. is often more rigorous than in many other countries, contributing to longer project timelines and delays. “We cannot become the best place in the world to build things if it takes us 80% longer to permit projects here in the US, as compared to other advanced economies. Unclear timelines, overlapping statutes, excessive litigation – these all raise costs for manufacturers, or they halt manufacturing projects entirely. The president has issued multiple executive orders aimed at accelerating the permitting process. Complying with excessive or complex federal regulations can also cost small manufacturers a lot each year. “Small manufacturers bear the brunt of the federal regulatory burden that our industry faces,” Crain said. “As an industry writ large, we face about $350 billion every year, and federal regulatory cost for small manufacturers is about $50,000 per employee per year.” Modlin said that this year’s tariffs have made running her business difficult. She said that larger companies often rely on 3D Design and Manufacturing for fast solutions to technical problems, but it’s difficult to operate quickly when there is so much flux in the price of goods and those fluctuations are largely unpredictable. “3D Design and Manufacturing has been in business since 2005 and we have never experienced such turmoil,” Modlin said. “Our products are made in America, but we rely on aluminum, steel and alloys, which are imported from Canada and Mexico.” The administration has imposed high tariffs on aluminum and steel and has raised tariffs on many Canadian and Mexican products. Modlin has been unable to wholly avoid passing some costs on to customers. Though tariffs have caused some problems for AmeriLux International, whose CEO Kurt Voss was called as a witness in Thursday’s hearing, Voss wasn’t entirely critical. “We've had customers who have their businesses have expanded as a result of the foreign competition being tariffed. Our prices actually have not gone up for the things that we bring in from overseas, because the manufacturers overseas have largely ate those increases or the cost of the tariff,” Voss said. As a remedy, Modlin suggested that all small businesses be exempt from tariffs.

Mikie Sherill was just elected governor of New Jersey on the premise that she is a moderate champion of women’s rights. Her record, unfortunately, shows that she is anything but. Now that she is in the governor’s office, New Jersey residents will have to hold her feet to the fire and ensure she does not dismantle women’s rights in the state. In the past two years alone, Sherrill has voted against every major piece of legislation in Congress that would protect women’s sports and single-sex spaces: The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a House resolution ensuring “sex” under Title IX means biological sex; and the Riley Gaines Women’s Sports Protection Act. In opposing these, she has rejected a simple reality: that men and women are biologically different. The science is not up for debate. The American College of Sports Medicine states, “Adult males are stronger, more powerful, and faster than females of similar age and training status. The sex difference in athletic performance where endurance or muscular power is required is roughly 10%-30% depending on the event.” Testosterone during male puberty means that men are taller with longer limbs, and have increased muscle mass, lower body fat, larger hearts, and larger lungs. In other words, men have an innate biological advantage over women. Female athletes work just as hard, train just as seriously, and sacrifice just as much – but biology means they will never be able to compete with male-bodied athletes on a level playing field. New Jersey residents understand this. Per recent polling, the majority of New Jersey voters, as well as New Jersey female voters, support legislation that keeps women’s sports female. Protecting women, for New Jersey voters, means protecting women’s single-sex spaces – and keeping men out. If Sherill keeps this up as governor, she will not only be rejecting reality, but the voices of her constituents. It gets worse when you look at her response – or lack thereof – to the women’s prison crisis in New Jersey. In 2021, New Jersey adopted a policy that allows inmates to be housed based on self-declared gender identity, regardless of sex. Under this policy, a biological male named Demi Minor, convicted of manslaughter and carjacking, was transferred to Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women. By 2022, he impregnated two women and allegedly sexually assaulted a third, Lauren Mitchell. Mitchell has since filed a lawsuit stating she was sexually assaulted three times by Minor and begged for reassignment. Prison staff are accused of ignoring her, and she described the state’s actions as “cruel and unusual punishment.” While this was going on, Mikie Sherrill was nowhere to be found. Where she will be as governor remains to be seen. Public records show that there are approximately 108 transgender-identifying inmates across New Jersey’s nine state prisons – 42 of them at Edna Mahan alone. That means hundreds, if not thousands, of women are being forced to share intimate spaces with male-bodied individuals in the name of “inclusion.” Despite the fact that 91% of New Jersey voters and 92% of New Jersey women voters report concern over men in women’s prisons, Mikie Sherrill has yet to say a word. Sherrill’s unwillingness to speak out – both in Congress and in her own backyard – shows exactly where her priorities lie: not with her constituents in New Jersey or with American women suffering the consequences of men in their sports and single-sex spaces, but with the activist class and other elites in her party who demand ideological conformity above all else. Time and again, she has proven that she is more concerned about appeasing fringe interest groups than about defending the rights of women and girls. The pattern is unmistakable. When women athletes are forced to compete against biological males, Sherrill has voted against protecting them. When women prisoners are assaulted by men placed in their facilities, Sherrill has stayed silent. When voters say clearly, loudly, that they want single-sex spaces preserved, Sherrill has ignored them. That may have been acceptable behavior for a member of Congress operating within the safety of party-line politics, but the governor’s office is different. As the chief executive of New Jersey, Sherrill will be directly accountable to the people whose rights and safety depend on her decisions. If she continues to side with ideological activists instead of everyday New Jersey women, she will quickly find that voters’ patience has its limits.

As negociações da COP30 já foram retomadas na noite desta quinta-feira (20), após o incêndio que atingiu uma pequena área da Zona Azul. A retomada das negociações foi confirmada pelo secretário extraordinário da COP30, Valter Correia, que as negociações prosseguirão amanhã, a partir das 08h. Em entrevista exclusiva à TV Brasil, um dos veículos da Empresa Brasil de Comunicação (EBC), Correia disse que o controle da área da Zona Azul voltou à Convenção-Quadro das Nações Unidas sobre a Mudança do Clima, (UNFCCC, na sigla em inglês) e À Organização das Nações Unidas. Notícias relacionadas: Presidente da COP30 prevê prolongamento das negociações após incêndio. Zona Azul da COP30 é reaberta após incêndio. Incêndio na COP30 foi controlado em 6 minutos e evacuação foi rápida. “As 20h40 foram restabelecidas as relações com a UNFCCC. Hoje agora estão sendo retomadas as negociações e amanhã é um dia normal”, disse. O trecho onde houve o incêndio foi isolado para dar maior segurança para o seguimento das atividades, inclusive na zona verde, que também teve seus trabalhos suspensos, com evacuação das pessoas que estavam no local. "É um pequeno trecho dos pavilhões, onde teve origem o fogo e a gente achou por bem isolar. E os demais espaços estarão normais. Principalmente a área da zona verde estará normal. A área da zona azul, por precaução foi evacuada, mas já retomamos hoje à noite os trabalhos”, reiterou. Correia destacou ainda que o princípio de incêndio foi rapidamente controlado pelo Corpo de Bombeiros. “Em seis minutos já não tinha nada sobre o incêndio. Os bombeiros agiram de forma excepcional, junto com o pessoal da UNFCCC e da ONU. Agora já está absolutamente normal”, reiterou. Investigação A retomada das atividades foi assegurada com a elaboração de um novo alvará de segurança emitido pelo Corpo de Bombeiros, após vistoria nos espaços da zona azul no começo da noite. “Para que a ONU reassumisse os trabalhos era importante ter a segurança do Corpo de Bombeiros e eles já emitiram um novo alvará, dando toda a segurança para a área e assegurando que não há nenhum risco para a segurança”, afirmou As investigações para saber a origem do incêndio continuam. Mais cedo, o Ministério da Saúde informou que 21 pessoas foram atendidas pelo serviço médico, sendo 19 devido à inalação da fumaça e duas por crise de ansiedade. Não há informação de pessoas com ferimentos graves. “Continuam algumas investigações para determinar a causa. Não foi uma coisa estrutural, sabemos que foi alguma sobrecarga e precisamos analisar exatamente o que foi. Os bombeiros vão continuar investigando, amanhã provavelmente teremos algumas informações adicionais”, concluiu.

(The Center Square) – Investments held by the state of North Carolina’s retirement system have grown by more than $12 billion in the last year, thanks to strong markets and “strategic decisions,” according to the state treasurer. Retirement plan assets have increased from $126.5 million to a record $139.1 billion from Oct. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30 of this year, first-term Repubican state Treasurer Brad Briner said in a release. The investments have grown by 11%, nearly twice the target of 6.5%, according to Briner. “Today is a big day in North Carolina’s financial history,” Briner said in a statement. “We’ve come a long way since January, but we have much more to do.” The state pensions funds have “underperformed for years,” Briner told The Center Square earlier this year. He pushed for a new board, the North Carolina Investment Authority, to take over management of investments instead of the treasurer alone. Legislation authorizing the authority passed the Legislature this year and was signed into law. The authority includes a board of directors chaired by the treasurer. The retirement system manages eight pension plans for more than 1 million people and distributes $640 million each month in benefit checks. For years, North Carolina ranked either 49th or 50th in the nation on retirement system investment returns, with too much money held in cash, Briner said. One school of thinking is that retirement systems should be conservative in their investments because the recipients of the pensions are older, Briner told The Center Square in an interview earlier this year. But the investments have to be able to keep up with inflation, which has been around 54% over the last 15 years, the treasurer said. Since August, pension fund investments include private equity, including a private medical services company, real estate and energy, the treasurer’s office said this week. The new investment authority this week approved a $26.1 million budget for fiscal year 2026. A consulting firm, Mercer, recommended paying staff at the authority competitive salaries to “attract, retain and motivate the right people to meet long-term investment goals for the retirement systems,” according to a release.

The retirement system manages eight pension plans for more than 1 million people and distributes $640 million each month in benefit checks. For years, North Carolina ranked either 49th or 50th in the nation on retirement system investment returns, with too much money held in cash, Briner said. One school of thinking is that retirement systems should be conservative in their investments because the recipients of the pensions are older, Briner told The Center Square in an interview earlier this year. But the investments have to be able to keep up with inflation, which has been around 54% over the last 15 years, the treasurer said. Since August, pension fund investments include private equity, including a private medical services company, real estate and energy, the treasurer’s office said this week. The new investment authority this week approved a $26.1 million budget for fiscal year 2026. A consulting firm, Mercer, recommended paying staff at the authority competitive salaries to “attract, retain and motivate the right people to meet long-term investment goals for the retirement systems,” according to a release.
