The Trump Administration is reportedly banning all sweet and fruity vape pod flavors nearly a year after the move was first outlined

Image
The Food and Drug Administration will implement a ban on all flavored e-cigarette pods except tobacco and menthol varieties as part of an attempt to curb youth vaping, Trump Administration officials told multiple news outlets on December 31, 2019. The ban would exclude open-tank vaping devices, a compromise made for small businesses. According to The Wall Street Journal, those devices are often found at vape shops and "allow users to mix their own nicotine liquids." Open-tank vaping devices are not as popular with young people. The move also comes at the height of a public safety scare related to a growing spate of serious lung diseases tied to vaping . Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . Nearly a year after federal regulators first outlined a sweeping proposal to ban the sale of sweet and fruity flavored e-cigarettes, the Trump Administration will put a ban on certain flavored vaping cartridges.

Seattle will ban kids from school if they aren’t vaccinated

Image
A measles outbreak in the United States has been festering for some time, with some areas of the country seeing spikes in new cases, doctor visits, and even hospitalizations. There are a handful of areas in the northwest that have been hit the hardest, and Seattle's public school system has made the tough decision to actually ban students who have yet to be vaccinated against measles. In the interest of public health and a desire to keep the school system from becoming a haven for the spread of measles, students who have not been immunized against measles are being asked to attend one of the free immunization clinics . Clinics are open Monday through Friday, offering plenty of opportunities for unvaccinated students to get the shots they need. Continue reading...

Of course AT&T is outsourcing thousands of jobs after getting a massive tax cut last year

Image
It's bad enough that AT&T cut thousands of jobs (after promising to create thousands of new ones) despite saving a reported $3 billion thanks to the Trump tax cuts that were signed into law in December 2017. The carrier had pushed hard for the tax cuts, promising to invest an extra $1 billion in 2018 -- with CEO Randall Stephenson even touting that "every billion dollars AT&T invests is 7,000 hard-hat jobs." And he told CNBC the following, by way of continuing to make a public case for the tax cuts: "Lower taxes drives more investment, drives more hiring, drives greater wages. I know exactly what AT&T would do: We would invest more.” Except -- well, not so much. Earlier this year, a Communications Workers of America analysis based on public financial statements revealed that "the telecom company eliminated 23,328 jobs since the Tax Cut and Jobs Act passed in late 2017, including nearly 6,000 in the first quarter of 2019." And that's not
