Expo Puerto Rico in Orlando touts island investment, work opportunities

Twenty-seven companies representing various eco nomic sectors participated on Monday in the Expo Puerto Rico event in Orlando, Florida as part of the agenda of the Puerto Rico government’s agenda through the Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC by its Spanish initials) aimed at supporting the export of local products and services to other markets, as well as promoting investment and economic development on the island.

lies and friends in Puerto Rico, practically make this a large municipality, with the ability to export and import goods and services, since they usually serve the same profile of consumers,” he said. “Central Florida represents for Puerto Rican businesses an opportunity for expansion not only for products, services and food businesses, but also includes the possibility of exporting recognized business brands such as El Mesón, Econo and Selectos, to name a few.”

“Our goal during the Expo in Orlando is that Puerto Rican entrepreneurs who attend can create business ties to export their services and products to the United States, as well as promote Puerto Rico as a destination to invest and establish companies,” Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said in a written statement. “In addition, we seek to highlight the work environment on our island, specifically in the aerospace sector in which there are many opportunities. Our economy has been growing steadily and solidly, which has allowed us to achieve historic figures in terms of em ployment opportunities on the island, so we also want to continue attracting resources to our workforce.”

DDEC Secretary Manuel Cidre Miranda noted that “the markets of Orlando and Puerto Rico represent a great opportunity for entrepreneurs from both regions.”

“The high concentration of Puerto Ricans in Central Florida, together with the close relationship between fami

“Puerto Rico, through its incentive program, is the ideal destination for light and specialized manufacturing, for the aerospace sectors, biosciences, as well as IT, tourism and agribusiness, among others,” Cidre Miranda continued. “This trade mission is extremely attractive for local prod ucts and services in high demand, such as beverages and food services, among others. For DDEC, it is essential to continue facilitating greater opportunities for growth and expansion for our companies.”

Another objective of the mission, DDEC chief noted, is to offer employment opportunities to Puerto Ricans and people interested in areas of high demand in Puerto Rico as a result of the increase in investment in the aerospace sectors, as well as the construction, services, tourism, computer and other sectors. In addition, recent increases in the minimum wage, as well as the increase in wages of many businesses in Puerto Rico make it attractive for Central Florida residents to relocate to the island, he said.

“The aerospace industry is an ever-growing sec tor that needs a professional workforce with up-to-date skills for a highly regulated market,” Cidre Miranda said.

“This creates new job opportunities for our engineers in various fields, such as aviation and space. This event will present opportunities for personnel in the aerospace area, among others, who are considering relocating to the island.”

Participating companies were: AC Culinary Group, Amasar LLC, Apiarios Caraballo (Miel El Cafetal) Corp., Artesano Rum Corp., Baby Blue LLC, C & C Supply, Desde mi Huerto, Destilería Coqui Inc., Doña Yiya Foods Inc., Dulzura Borincana, Eurocaribe Packing-Matosantos, GascoIndustrial, KeFruits (Cabo Rojo Steaks and Zato Pet Food), Mi Cosecha, Mistolin Caribe Inc., Nosotras Boutique Fashion Group (Krystalos), Olein Corp., Mizanelle LLC (Piketú), PuertoRican Salsa Company, LLC (Boripique), R’Brothers LLC, San Juan Artisan Distillers LLC, San Mar Manu facturing (Cool River), Titan, Universal Manufacturing (Dr. Mecánico), Valero Inc., and aerospace companies.

Various respiratory illnesses wrack Puerto Rico

State epidemiologist Melissa Marzán Rodríguez said Monday that Puerto Rico faces several types of respiratory illnesses that together are recognized as a “syndemic.”

“The epidemiological term when there is more than one outbreak affecting a population is syndemic. Syndem ic is a scenario where there is more than one outbreak or more than one epidemic that affects a population and in Puerto Rico, for example, we can talk about a syndemic scenario because we have the COVID-19 pandemic, where it must be said that for today, in the last week we are seeing almost 1,500 daily cases,” Marzán said in a radio interview. “That raises the alert that we all have to be using the different prevention measures and with what has happened in the last two Decembers [2020 and 2021], cases have increased. COVID-19 is not over and we have influenza cases where we are above the alert threshold and the population that is most affected is the pediatric population.”

Regarding COVID-19, the island’s chief epidemiolo

Ponce Mayor Luis Manuel Irizarry Pabón said Monday that he will not resign after accusations stemming from an alleged investigation by the Department of Justice into a loan attributed to his campaign being paid by trust employees.

gist also noted that hospital izations and related deaths have increased, in addition to cases of influenza and mycoplasma.

“In general terms [in regard to hospitalizations] it has remained at a moder ate level,” she said. “If the metric becomes high, you have to resort to the use of masks.”

“For me it has always been a recommendation that the Department of Health continues to make,” Marzán said. “On the other hand, vaccination. In Puerto Rico there is the COVID-19 vaccine for the omicron variant with its different sublineages. If you belong to a risk group, people over 65, people with

chronic conditions, obese or overweight, we call on you to go get vaccinated.”

“In October, the Department of Justice asked the munic ipality for information, some files of some employees. The mayor announced it and said that we will be cooperating in any kind of investigation and so far we have done so,” Irizarry Pabón said in a radio interview. “I’m definitely not going to answer conjectures, rumors, gossip, of people we know were with me and they know why they’re gone, and of political adversaries. They don’t have the votes and they want to smear, and they want to attack this mayor. I am not going to answer allegations that I do not have knowledge of and that the Department of Justice has not notified this mayor of anything else.”

“Given these anonymous allegations, which lend them selves to damaging reputations, I will not answer until … Justice determines if there is a direct investigation against this person,” he added. “People know me, they know the adversary, people know the people I had to throw out of my [municipal] cabinet who were not doing the job and were performing tricks.”

“The trickster does not fit within my working group. But that’s another song,” the mayor continued. “We are going to respect the law and we are going to comply with it.”

Irizarry Pabón said he will not resign as mayor after allegations revealed Friday night by a local daily newspaper.

The report said Irizarry Pabón allegedly ordered trust employees to repay a $50,000 loan, according to the newspaper’s sources.

After the publication of the alleged investigation, the New Progressive Party mayoral hopeful in Ponce, Pablo Colón Santiago, has repeatedly called for the mayor’s resignation. Colón Santiago was the campaign director for former Ponce mayor and current statehood lobbyist María “Mayita” Meléndez Altieri.

Ayuda Legal: OCIF’s loss of accreditation not to ‘be taken lightly’

The organization Ayuda Legal raised an alarm about the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF by its Spanish acronym), which evaluates the solvency of banks, losing the accreditation of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS).

The Center for Investigative Journalism revealed the information last week that OCIF had kept under wraps.

The CSBS oversees the procedures and operations of state agencies that regulate banking institutions in the United States.

“In a country where the lack of commitment to account ability and transparency is the central axis of public policy, this news should not be taken lightly,” Ayuda Legal said.

The OCIF, as established by Law 4 of 1985, is the govern ment agency responsible for supervising financial institutions operating in Puerto Rico. Enforcing the Bank of Puerto Rico Law and the Mortgage Institutions Law is among its tasks. OCIF is in charge of investigating complaints, imposing administrative fines for violations of the laws, carrying out studies and investigations on matters that affect any branch of the banking industry and requiring financial institutions to comply with examinations.

The OCIF investigates the bank’s conditions and resources, the way it conducts and manages its affairs, its directors’ ac tions, the investment of its funds, and the safety and prudence of its administration. The examinations evaluate guarantees the bank has given to ensure compliance with the obligations contracted and whether the law has been complied with in the administration of its affairs.

“As the OCIF itself acknowledges, deficiencies in its ex amination program of financial institutions caused the loss of accreditation before the CSBS. The severe budget reduction, the lack of trained personnel, and the reduction of its financial education program, demonstrate the government’s unwilling ness to allocate resources to strengthen the agency,” Ayuda Legal said. “The CSBS recommended, as part of its audit of

the OCIF, that it should increase the number of examiners and improve their salary conditions and training opportunities.”

“Since 2020, Ayuda Legal Puerto Rico (ALPR) has called on the OCIF to recognize and exercise its supervisory role, particularly in the face of the mortgage crisis that the coun try is experiencing,” Ayuda Legal continued. “ALPR even requested examinations from financial institutions, aimed at evaluating the proper management of loss mitigation processes in mortgage loans.”

“Many times, OCIF has taken refuge in the fact that the examinations and bank control processes are confidential. These are excuses [to avoid] having to release information

about non-compliance,” the organization said. “This is not acceptable, even less so when serious accusations against banks have plagued the last few months. Half-hearted con trol, insufficient personnel to deal with complaints, poor management of examination processes, among other failures, result in violations of consumer rights, non-compliance with applicable legislation, and other practices that directly affect the financial health of people who live in Puerto Rico.”

“This fosters an ecosystem of economic violence against the homes and lives of thousands of families,” the group said, adding that demanding accountability from OCIF is essential to achieve justice and equity.

AAFAF report: Puerto Rico’s inflation rate up by 3.4%

Puerto Rico’s inflation rate increased from 3.2% to 6.6% between the third quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2022, a macroeconomic indicators report from the Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (AAFAF by its Spanish initials) said.

The report was for the period that ended in September.

Income tax collections increased by 31.3% and corporate income tax by 46.5% between the second quarter of 2021 (2Q21) and the second quarter of 2022 (2Q22). The unem ployment rate fell to 6.2% from 8.1% in the same period, according to the report.

Exports decreased by 0.5% and imports grew by 17.7% between 2Q21 and 2Q22, it indicated.

Other indicators show that between 2Q21 and 2Q22 there was a 6.8% increase in the number of bankruptcies, and a 3.5% increase in hotel registrations.

On the negative side, mortgage originations decreased by 18.6% during the same period.

Meanwhile, cement sales decreased by 10.5% and auto mobile sales decreased by 11.0% between 3Q21 and 3Q22.

The AAFAF report includes information on several mac roeconomic indicators sorted into 10 separate categories, including economic activity, employment and wages, exports and emigration, business growth, manufacturing, tourism, housing and real estate, poverty and state and federal pro grams, human capital, and macroeconomic growth factors.

The data was collected at varying dates and then com pared to results from a year before.

LUMA: Service outages possible due to ‘technical issues’

LUMA Energy posted on social media Monday that “due to technical issues,” various communities may be affected by electrical service interruptions.

“Due to technical issues in the electrical system, cus tomers may be experiencing rotating outages at this time,” LUMA Energy said. “Know that the LUMA brigades are responding and working with the [Puerto Rico] Electric

Power Authority [PREPA] to restore service as quickly and safely as possible.”

“To minimize the impact of potential service interrup tions, we urge our customers to conserve power today, especially during peak hours between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.,” the private operator of the island’s electricity trans mission and distribution system added.

At press time PREPA had not stated what problem it was facing, if any.

ministration officials will join Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia to forge a collaborative economic development framework for Puerto Rico featuring four key themes: human capital and workforce development, infrastructure and energy resilience, capital and investment strategy, and governance and data transparency.

Participants will hold a press conference following to day’s dialogue.

Population growth is making hurricanes more expensive

gered over the Houston area for days, dropping more than 50 inches of rain in some places. The storm ultimately cost an estimated $149 billion — more, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than any other hurricane since 1980 besides Katrina in 2005.

This ongoing property develop ment in the parts of the United States that are most at risk of hurricane damage also created an additional risk, destro ying the natural barriers that would otherwise help protect coastal areas from the storms. In Florida, “hardened” waterfront properties have replaced “spongelike” wetlands and mangroves that were more able to absorb storm sur ges and rainfall, as Strader has explained.

What’s next

Debris and destruction left behind by Hurricane Ian in Fort Myers Beach, Fla., Oct. 1, 2022. Hurricane Ian, which hit the southeastern U.S. in September, was the season’s worst storm and among the country’s deadliest hurricanes in recent decades.

Hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean ended this past week as one of the most destructive on record. Hurricane Ian, which hit the southeastern United States in September, was the season’s worst storm and among the country’s deadliest hurricanes in recent decades. It was also among the costliest in U.S. history, causing an es timated $67 billion in privately insured property damage across five states.

Ian is part of a trend. Hurricanes tend to be among the most damaging forms of extreme weather, the costs of which are greatly rising. Hurricanes that caused more than $1 billion in damage have roughly doubled since the 1980s. During the same period, the total costs in damage, adjusted for inflation, have increased by a much greater amount — more than elevenfold.

Climate change has increased the likelihood of severe hurricanes and, in some cases, their destructiveness. But there is a bigger culprit behind rising damage costs, experts said: Americans flocking to coastal areas. This migration

has added to the number of homes, busi nesses and other buildings in harm’s way.

As colleague Christopher Flavelle, who covers climate, put it: “Stronger storms plus more development in coastal areas equals more damage.” This article will focus on how the development piece of that equation contributes to expensive hurricanes.

More people, more damage

Stephen Strader, who studies the geography of disasters at Villanova Uni versity, calls the increased development in areas vulnerable to hurricanes the “expanding bull’s-eye effect.” As the target — the number of people, homes and businesses in a vulnerable area — grows, the potential for storms to cause costly damage increases. “There’s more things in the path of these hurricanes than there’s ever been,” he said.

Consider how many homes are in southwestern Florida, where Hurricane Ian made landfall this year. The housing density increased as the population rose between 1980 and 2020.

The Houston area shows a similar trend. The region added nearly 1.3 mi llion homes between 1980 and 2020.

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey lin

Easing the problem of billion-dollar extreme weather events would require tackling both pieces of Flavelle’s storm damage equation. Reducing carbon emissions and slowing global warming could decrease the likelihood of seve re hurricanes and other costly climate disasters like wildfires and droughts.

One option to reduce property damage, experts said, is to strengthen building codes. Florida did so after Hu rricane Andrew wreaked havoc in 1992, requiring that new structures be built to better resist high winds. Infrastructure upgrades — like sea walls to block storm surges or pumps to remove rainwater more quickly — could also help against hurricanes, but only so much.

Some experts have proposed a contentious goal: getting people to live elsewhere. The most aggressive effort to persuade Americans to leave hurricane-threatened areas may be a new program that prices federal flood insurance according to climate risk, dramatically increasing costs for people living in vulnerable places.

But relocation is a tough sell. Ame ricans have flocked to Florida’s pictures que coast, despite its risks. “People like living somewhere pretty,” Flavelle said.

There are also political challenges. Florida cities and towns rely heavily on property tax revenues, which leaves state and local officials reluctant to reduce

density or to encourage relocation. They can also count on the federal government to fund recovery efforts, giving them less incentive to mitigate future damage.

“There’s growing awareness that the current system of basically allowing and subsidizing construction in risky areas doesn’t make sense anymore,” Flavelle said. “The government is still struggling, though, to turn that focus into policy changes that will make much of a difference.”

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which ended last week, was one of the most des tructive on record.

Warnock and Walker, at finish line in Georgia, stick to their strategies

Although Senate Democrats have already clinched control of the chamber, a Warnock victory would provide them crucial insurance during a two-year period in which two moderate col leagues — Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz. — will be facing reelection.

At their first Sunday evening stop in Athens, Warnock and Ossoff stressed the narrowly divided nature of the Senate and their votes for key Democratic priorities.

Walker, at his more subdued events, mostly stuck to retail politics and one-on-one conversations with voters, as he and his allies have sought to tie the senator to President Joe Biden’s agenda, focusing more on cultural issues than policy points. On Saturday, Walker made a stop in Atlanta where he shook hands and took selfies with football fans at a sparsely attended tailgating party.

On Sunday, he stumped with Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and John Kennedy, R-La., in Loganville, a suburb an hour east of Atlanta. His speech did not stray from its usual themes, as he recounted his biography and added a handful of rambling anecdotes about heaven and hell and “The Star-Spangled Ban ner.” His closing message, however, was a reminder to vote. “Come rain, sun or shine,” he said, “we’ve got to get out there and let them know we’re sick and tired of this.”

The closely watched rematch between Sen. Raphael War nock, D-Ga., and Herschel Walker has reached its final hours, capping an intense and turbulent campaign that has prompted debate over issues of race, class and power in a state with a pivotal role in American politics.

On Sunday morning at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where Warnock is a senior pastor, he peppered his sermon with thinly veiled allusions to the election, reminding people multiple times to vote and joking that they had a choice between two candidates whose “last name starts with W.”

Walker on Sunday urged his supporters to vote, on part of what his campaign has been calling an “Evict Warnock Bus Tour.” “If you don’t have a friend, go make a friend and get them out to vote,” he told supporters.

More than 1.8 million Georgians have already cast ballots for today’s runoff, topping early-vote records in a contest that will determine whether Warnock gives Democrats a 51st vote in the Senate, an addition that would offer some procedural benefits. For Republicans, a win by Walker would reassert the state’s red streak despite a blue surge two years ago.

In 2020, energized Democratic voters propelled War nock and Jon Ossoff into the Senate, after fierce showdowns with Republican incumbents, swinging the Senate’s balance of power. And for the first time in 28 years, Georgia voted for a Democrat for president.

Today’s outcome will also provide an early test of the im pact of Donald Trump’s nascent 2024 presidential campaign on other Republican candidates. Trump has steered clear of Georgia before the runoff after his 2020 loss there and a disappointing midterm season for Republicans. Earlier this year, his chosen primary challengers to Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger were both firmly rejected.

As Warnock and Walker crisscrossed Georgia over the weekend to deliver their closing pitches, the candidates largely stuck to the distinct messages and styles that have guided their bids since the November election, when Warnock edged out Walker but fell short of the 50% threshold, sending the race into a runoff.

At energetic rallies filled with hundreds of chanting supporters, Warnock focused on promoting both Democrats’ policy victories and his willingness to work with Republicans. And he sought to mobilize the Black, Asian, Latino and white working-class voters who two years ago propelled him and Ossoff to victories.

On Sunday, Warnock began his morning behind the pulpit at Ebenezer Baptist, presiding over a service. Hundreds packed the pews, including longtime parishioners, members of Congress and members of his fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha. He finished the day with a pair of campaign rallies in Athens, home to the University of Georgia, including one at a student center named for Zell Miller, the last Georgia Democrat to win a Senate seat before 2021.

The closing scenes encapsulated the candidates’ divergent strategies through much of the 2022 midterm cycle: While Warnock kept a packed schedule of public events and press interviews, Walker preferred a less visible approach. But Walker was expected to pick up the speed of his events Monday, with several bus tour stops in the rural, northern reaches of the state. Warnock on Monday is planning to speak in the morning to union workers and Georgia Tech students in the afternoon, and hold a closing rally in Atlanta.

Georgia has been under the nation’s political focus since Biden won the state in 2020, with a narrow victory that nonetheless marked the shifting politics of the South. The population in Atlanta and across the state has surged, particularly among young people and people of color. Some of Atlanta’s metropolitan-area precincts, which were once Republican strongholds in the northern suburbs, in recent years have swung from red to blue to purple. On Friday, the Democratic National Committee’s rules committee took a step toward making Georgia an early primary state, further cementing its status as a political player.

The demographic and political transformation in Georgia, as in other states across the country, has been at the root of far-right conspiracy theories and false allegations of fraud over the 2020 election, and many voters — and Black voters in par ticular — have seen this election as having have high stakes for the future of voting rights and elections. Lines at some polling sites in Atlanta late last week were so long that people had to make multiple attempts to vote.

On Sunday, hundreds gathered at Ebenezer Baptist Church for its Sunday service and the last Sunday that Warnock would preside over before Tuesday. As a message reminding the crowd of Tuesday’s election flashed across the screen behind the pulpit, the crowd erupted in applause.

“Don’t ask me about Tuesday,” he said at one point during the sermon. “I don’t know what God’s going to do tomorrow.”

What to know about the North Carolina power outages

Apower outage in Central North Carolina over the weekend has upended daily life, prompting of ficials to open at least one shelter and impose a nightly curfew while authorities investigate what left an entire county in the dark.

The outages in Moore County, about 90 miles east of Charlotte, have drawn the attention of state officials, including Gov. Roy Cooper, who said on Twitter that the attack was a “serious, intentional crime.”

Here’s what we know so far.

When did the power outages start, and what caused them?

The power went out Saturday evening, just after 7 p.m. Two electric substations were damaged by gunfire in what state Sen. Tom McInnis called a “terrible act” that appeared to be “intentional, willful and malicious.”

There were no immediate details about a possible motive or a suspect; the FBI and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation were looking into the mat ter. It was also unclear if the vandalism was tied to a drag show in the area that had faced backlash.

“Moore County is very strong,” the county sheriff, Ronnie Fields, said. “And I can promise you to the per petrators out there, we will find you.”

Source: PowerOutage.us Notes: Data is as of 5 p.m. Eastern on Dec. 5. Counties shown are those with at least 1 percent of customers without power.

The damage is likely to be in the millions, he said.

Tens of thousands of people are without power.

The number of customers without power appeared to be falling, albeit slowly. As of early Monday, about 33,000 customers in the area were without power, ac cording to Duke Energy, which services thousands of homes and businesses in the region. PowerOutage.Us, which aggregates data from utilities across the country,

showed a slightly higher number, about 37,000 custom ers.

On Sunday, the number of customers without power was about 45,000.

When will power be restored?

It could take days. Officials said on Sunday that out ages could last until Thursday, drawing concern that the combination of chilly evening temperatures and no elec tricity could spell disaster for some residents.

Moore County residents have seen power failures before, particularly during snowstorms and extreme weather. The parts of the substations that were damaged need to be completely replaced, unlike when pieces can be repaired in place after weather events disrupt power.

A state of emergency was declared.

A countywide state of emergency was declared Sunday afternoon alongside a nightly curfew that was expected to last as long as the declaration was in effect. Citizens were also encouraged to conserve fuel during this time.

A shelter was opened at the Moore County Sports Complex, which can accommodate about 250 resi dents, officials said. It will remain open until it is no longer needed. Schools were also closed Monday and a decision on whether they will reopen on Tuesday will be announced Monday evening.

Arizona certifies midterm results after GOP resistance

Arizona’s top officials signed papers to certify the results of the state’s midterm election on Monday, completing a normally routine task that had become troubled in a state where Republican activists and candi dates have claimed without evidence that the election re sults were marred by problems.

Two conservative counties in Arizona initially delayed certifying their results but ultimately did so. In one case, in Cochise County, certification came only under order from a judge.

Finally, at an event on Monday that was closed to the public but broadcast live, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat who won this year’s race for governor, signed documents to certify the results in all 15 counties.

Also signing the certifications were Gov. Doug Ducey and Arizona’s attorney general, Mark Brnovich, both Re publicans, along with Robert Brutinel, the chief justice of the state Supreme Court.

In a speech before the signing of the documents, Hobbs addressed some of the conspiracy theories that had been spreading and said that the election had been prop erly conducted.

“Powerful voices spread misinformation that threatened to disenfranchise voters,” she said. “Democracy prevailed, but it’s not out of the woods.”

Ducey, the departing governor, explained that state law

required the certification as part of the democratic process.

“I swore an oath to uphold the law,” he said.

Hobbs’s opponent for governor, Kari Lake, who lost by more than 17,000 votes, ran a campaign heavily focused on false conspiratorial claims of stolen elections. She and her allies have vowed to continue fighting the outcome, sowing doubts about the results with public statements and social media posts.

The efforts have made Arizona the center of the na tional election-denial movement, attracting activists who have gained influence spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election as they speak at protests and local government hearings.

Lake and the Republican nominee for attorney general, Abraham Hamadeh, have suggested that after the certifica tion, they may file lawsuits challenging the election results. Hamadeh is trailing Kris Mayes, a Democrat, by about 500 votes in a race that has not yet been called and is headed to a recount.

Hamadeh previously filed a lawsuit asking a judge to declare him the winner, which was dismissed by the court as “premature” since under state law, a lawsuit challenging election results needs to be filed after the certification of an election, not before it. (Such a challenge must be filed within five days of certification.)

The Republican candidates and their allies, including right-wing activists and media figures such as Steve Ban non, the former adviser to Donald Trump, have claimed for

weeks without evidence that voters in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and is Arizona’s largest county, were “disenfranchised.”

They have pointed to technical problems on Election Day that led to long lines at some polling places. But in fact there has been no sign of widespread voter disenfranchise ment, because voters who encountered problems were able to cast ballots via backup systems or at other polling locations.

A New York Times review of dozens of accounts from voters, poll workers and observers that were posted by Ms. Lake and her allies found that many voters acknowledged that, while inconvenienced, they had ultimately been able to cast their ballots.

Trump’s call for ‘termination’ of Constitution draws rebukes

An extraordinary anti-democratic statement from former President Donald Trump, suggesting the “termination” of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 election, drew a degree of bipartisan condemnation over the weekend, with a flood from Democrats and a trickle from Republicans.

But it did not appear to do any more than similar past actions in prompting Republican of ficials to rule out supporting Trump in 2024.

Inaccurately describing the contents of a just-released report about Twitter’s moderation decisions during the 2020 campaign, Trump again demanded that the 2020 election be

overturned or rerun, for the first time explicitly calling to set aside the supreme law of the land.

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote in a post Saturday on his social network, Truth Social.

Trump was responding to a report Friday night about Twitter employees’ internal deliberations over the company’s decision in 2020 to block links to a New York Post article that described emails found on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son. The report, a Twitter thread by writer Matt Taibbi, also criticized the fact that the Biden campaign

had a back channel to ask Twitter to remove certain tweets, although it noted that Republicans had such a back channel, too.

The explicit suggestion of suspending the Constitution was astonishing even by the standards of Trump, who has spent the past two years spreading lies about the 2020 election, which he lost, and promoting various illegal mechanisms for overturning it.

Less than three weeks ago, Trump announced a third bid for the presidency, a job in which the winner takes an oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution.

“Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation and should be universally

condemned,” Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, said in a statement.

Several Republicans did reject the comments. “Well, obviously I don’t support that,” Rep.-elect Mike Lawler, a Republican who unseated Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney in a suburban New York district, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “The Constitution is set for a reason, to protect the rights of every American.”

But far more remained silent, including Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader who hopes to become speaker when Republicans take control of the chamber in January, and who made a point last month of declaring that Republicans would read the Constitution aloud on the House floor on their first day in charge. Two press representatives for McCarthy did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday morning, Rep. David Joyce of Ohio illustrated Republicans’ unyielding loyalty to Trump.

Joyce dodged three questions from the anchor, George Stephanopoulos, about Trump’s comments and whether he would support Trump in 2024, saying that he believed Republicans would have a large field of candidates and that he wanted to focus on making the most of the party’s new House majority.

When Stephanopoulos pressed him a fourth time, Joyce said, “I will support whoever the Republican nominee is.” With visible discomfort, Joyce then sought to defend that commitment after Stephanopoulos asked incredulously, “You can’t come out against someone who’s for suspending the Constitution?”

“Well, he says a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean that it’s ever going to happen,” Joyce said. But Trump has followed through on many things that other Republicans insisted he did not really mean, including his effort to block the certification of Biden’s victory, which culminated in Trump supporters’ storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Former President Donald Trump speaks at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., Nov. 15, 2022, where he announced he’ll run for president again in 2024. An extraordinary antidemocratic statement from Trump, suggesting the “termination” of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 election, drew a degree of bipartisan condemnation over the weekend, with a flood from Democrats and a trickle from Republicans.

With federal aid on the table, utilities shift to embrace climate goals

Just two years ago, DTE Energy, a Michi gan-based electric utility, was still en meshed in a court fight with federal re gulators over emissions from a coal-burning power plant on the western shore of Lake Erie that ranks as one of the nation’s largest sources of climate-changing air pollution.

But in September, Gerard M. Ander son, who led DTE for the last decade, was on the South Lawn of the White House alongsi de hundreds of other supporters of President Joe Biden, giving a standing ovation to the president for his success in pushing a climate change package through Congress — a law that will help accelerate the closure of the very same coal-burning behemoth, known as DTE Monroe, that his company had been fighting to protect.

Anderson’s position reflects a funda mental shift among major electric utilities nationwide as they deploy their considera ble clout in Washington: After years of ta king steps like backing dark-money groups to sue the government to block tighter air pollution rules, DTE and a growing number of other utilities have joined forces to speed the transition away from fossil fuels.

Their new stance is driven less by evol ving ideology than the changing economics of renewable energy, fueled in part by the sheer amount of money the federal gover nment is putting on the table to encourage utilities to move more quickly to cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy like solar and wind.

In that way, it is a leading example of the effects of the Biden administration’s wi llingness to engage in what is often called industrial policy: providing public funding to bolster critical industries in support of the nation’s broad strategic goals.

But if industrial policy initiatives can provide powerful incentives to corporations to pursue those goals, they also inevita bly raise questions about whether they are constructed in ways that reward companies for taking actions that market forces would lead them to take anyway — an issue that hovers over the legislation embraced by both Biden and the electric utilities.

With the passage of the climate and economic policy bill known as the Inflation

Reduction Act, DTE and other big utilities like American Electric Power, NextEra Ener gy and Southern Co. stand to benefit from the largest package of subsidies ever granted to the industry.

It is a 10-year, $220 billion hodge podge of tax breaks and major changes in federal tax law and other climate-changeinspired inducements that amount to a kind of lobbyist wish list never before considered even remotely possible by the industry.

With so much on the line financially, the industry ramped up spending on lobb yists to help push the package through the House and the Senate. It has also directed at least $17 million in campaign contribu tions to lawmakers since last year, targeting in particular key players like Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic ma jority leader, and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., whose consent was vital to getting the measure passed.

The legislation will do more than just accelerate efforts to meet climate change goals, according to an analysis by The New York Times of the 273-page law.

Buried in the hundreds of pages are carefully crafted provisions that will even tually help electric utilities gain additional profits for years to come, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars per year for some of the larger players, according to Wall Street analysts.

In the course of its two-year lobbying effort, the industry managed to help knock

out of the legislation measures that would have mandated actions to curb pollution, largely leaving only those provisions that rewarded it for doing so — in effect securing more carrots while tossing aside the stick.

“Let’s be honest — these guys can say all they want about the environment and how we are all aligned,” said Shahriar Pou rreza, who has spent two decades studying the utility industry for Wall Street firms. “But you strip back the layers of the onion, and this is also a major long-term growth oppor tunity for these utilities.”

The benefits come in part from the ex tension of about-to-expire tax breaks for the industry for as long as two decades, a pro vision that alone is worth more than $120 billion. Lawmakers also significantly expan ded the kinds of things utilities can spend money on and still get a generous tax break for, like new energy storage equipment.

The new law also allows utilities that build clean-energy installations to sell large chunks of their tax perks to other compa nies or Wall Street investors, even those that have no connection to the energy industry.

Embracing Biden

They gathered in early February be neath a portrait of Abraham Lincoln in the White House’s State Dining Room, a room that has hosted countless world leaders over the decades. On that day, it was filled by

some of the top executives at the nation’s largest electric utility companies, including Anderson from DTE, as well as the bos ses from Southern Co., American Electric Power, Duke Energy and several of the other giant utilities that dominate the nation’s power sector.

It was unseasonably mild for midwin ter in Washington — the temperature rea ched 54 — and the agenda was global war ming and what these companies could do, in an alliance with the White House, to help address it.

The power plants run by these execu tives are by far the single biggest source of carbon dioxide and other air pollution in the United States. The companies are all mem bers of a powerful trade association called the Edison Electric Institute, which organi zed the gathering. Collectively, the mem bers of EEI, as it is known, provide electricity to 235 million Americans in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.

As members of the group sat around a large table, Biden was blunt about what was at stake as he pushed Congress to take steps toward meeting a goal of allowing the na tion to produce all its electricity carbon-free by 2035. Biden also let the assembled group know he was well aware many of them in the past were hardly ready to rally behind him for ambitious climate change measures.

EEI members, in some cases, had organized their own sophisticated, but covert, political operations to try to block renewable energy mandates in the past.

But despite a history of opposition to clean-air regulations, the industry in recent years has been abandoning fossil fuels such as coal, largely for economic reasons. Southern Co., which serves 4.4 million electric utility customers in Geor gia, Mississippi and Alabama, has long had one of the largest fleets of coal-bur ning power plants, and it waged an in tense fight to protect them, including do nations to those who do not agree with mainstream science that says the climate is changing.

But late last year, Southern Co. an nounced it intended to close all but three of its coal plants by 2028, cutting its coal fleet capacity by 80% compared with 2007, and replacing it mostly with solar, natural gas and nuclear power.

Part of the shift away from coal was driven by federal mandates that were going to force the company to spend hun dreds of millions of dollars to upgrade the plants to reduce toxic water pollution sent into area rivers and streams. At the same time, natural gas had emerged as a plenti ful, cleaner and more affordable alternati ve, and the costs of renewables like solar and wind were coming down rapidly.

By the time of the meeting with Biden

in February, executives from Southern, like DTE and other utilities, were ready to tell the president they were on board to sup port legislation that would accelerate the industry’s move away from coal by pro viding tax breaks and other inducements.

Nick Akins, the chair of American Electric Power, which serves 5 millions customers in 11 states, pointed out much

of the value of the tax breaks that were then under debate in Congress would be passed on to ratepayers, in the form of smaller future electric power rate increa ses, since the federal government would effectively be subsidizing the cost of the transition to cleaner-burning fuels.

But renewables even without fede ral subsidies are now cheaper than coal, meaning the market was already giving the utilities plenty of incentive to change how they produced power.

What the utilities did not mention at this meeting with Biden was that credit rating agencies were pressuring them to move more quickly to clean up their ener gy production or face higher costs to bo rrow money. They also did not detail how the federal subsidies, by changing the eco nomics of the power industry, were going to increase their own profits.

No company is better positioned to cash in on the subsidies than NextEra Energy, which serves 6 million customers in Florida as well as millions more in 38 other states that rely on electricity produ ced from wind and solar installations it has built to supply other utilities.

For every dollar utilities like NextE ra spend to build solar installations, they should be able to get as much as 60% back in the form of a so-called investment tax credit under the new law, if they tap into various bonuses, like building in a low-income area where land has pre

viously been polluted.

This tax credit will eventually benefit NextEra’s bottom line because the subsi dies will accelerate the utility’s own equi ty investments in solar and wind capacity and other renewables. And the company can take its approximately 10% profit on this bigger base of capital spending, as permitted by state regulation.

“If they now put $2 down instead of $1, instead of making 10 cents, now they are making 20 cents,” said Julien Dumou lin-Smith, who tracks NextEra for Bank of America.

Elsewhere across the nation, NextEra plans to build an additional 37 gigawatts of renewable power over the next four years — enough to serve about 25 million homes — more than doubling its existing inventory, which is already the largest in the nation. It earns an even higher profit on those contracts, as the investments are not regulated. It can also get tax credits on upgrades to its existing wind and so lar projects and to add battery capacity to store renewable power — all again increa sing profitability.

The tax subsidies have also in creased the value of renewable projects owned by utilities, which is in part why many companies — including American Electric Power, North Carolina-based Duke Energy and Boston-based Eversou rce — are already putting some of them up for sale.

NextEra, based on previously gran ted subsidies, already has a $4.3 billion backlog of federal tax credits on its books — so much, in fact, that it has been unable to take advantage of them all, leading the company to carry them forward for use in future years.

The provision in the new law that will allow NextEra and other utilities to sell these tax credits to the highest bidder — including buyers that have nothing to do with the clean-energy business — gives them the opportunity to take in billions of dollars in cash payments in the coming years.

The offer is even sweeter when it comes to newer technologies, such as using hydrogen as a fuel source. Rather than waiting to claim the tax break after making certain kinds of these investments, utilities will be able to go to the Treasury Department and get a direct payment equal to the amount of the tax break as they bring it online — effectively a grant to cover part of the price tag.

With billions in government subsidies at stake, the electric utility industry shed its opposition to clean-air regulation and put its lobbying muscle behind passing President Joe Biden’s climate bill.

Shares slip, yields rise as U.S. data sparks rate hike concerns

Global stocks slid and Treasury yields rose on Mon day as investors ignored an easing of China’s pan demic restrictions that have weighed on global growth after fresh evidence of a strong U.S. economy raised fears interest rates will stay higher for longer.

U.S. services industry activity unexpectedly picked up in November, with employment rebounding, in the lat est sign of underlying economic momentum that likely will keep the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy tight as it fights high inflation.

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said its non-manufacturing PMI increased to 56.5 last month from 54.4 in October, which was the lowest reading since May 2020.

“It’s all about the Fed. The Fed doesn’t want the econ omy to fall apart, but they want the economy to slow to help counter inflation,” said Tim Ghriskey, chief invest ment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York.

“Good news on the economy is bad news for infla tion, whether that’s China opening up or lower gasoline prices.”

Asian shares rose on hopes that China’s steps to ease its zero-COVID policy would support global growth and increase commodity demand. But the ISM report on top of last week’s strong U.S. jobs data unnerved investors as they try to assess when the Fed will eventually ease its tightening cycle.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 1.38% higher, but MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.61%.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.33%, while on Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.72%, the S&P 500 lost 1.04% and the Nasdaq Com posite dropped 1.03%.

Euro zone business activity declined for a fifth month in November, final PMI data showed, suggesting the economy was sliding into a mild recession.

Treasury yields rose on expectations the Fed will con tinue to raise rates well into next year, though at a slower pace.

The inversion of the yield curve measuring the gap between yields on two- and 10-year Treasury notes deep ened at -78.3 basis points. The inversion of the curve has been seen as a recession harbinger.

The yield on 10-year Treasury notes rose 7.8 basis points to 3.581%.

The dollar rose against the pound and the yen after the strong ISM data for November.

The Japanese yen weakened 1.48% versus the green back at 136.34 per dollar, while sterling was last trading at $1.219, down 0.79% on the day.

The euro was down 0.26% to $1.0511.

The European Central Bank should raise interest rates by 50 bps on Dec. 15, French central bank chief Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Sunday, reinforcing expecta tions for the ECB to slow the pace of monetary tightening after back-to-back 75 bp increases.

Investor attention remains focused on the pace of central banks ending their rate-hiking cycles. The Reserve

Bank of Australia meets on Tuesday, and is expected to raise rates by a mere 25 basis points. The Bank of Canada meets on Wednesday and is expected to raise rates by 50 bps.

“We expect that growth will take the place of infla tion as the main market focus at some point in the nottoo-distant future,” said Geraldine Sundstrom, a portfolio manager at PIMCO, in emailed comments.

“Central bank rhetoric is starting to point in that di rection, but we won’t know for sure until peak inflation is solidly in the review mirror.”

Oil prices were mixed. U.S. crude futures fell 0.08% to $79.92 a barrel and Brent rose 0.25% at $85.78.

Explosions rock 2 military bases in Russia, according to some Russian media

Explosions rocked two Russian military bases on Monday, according to some Russian media, includ ing an airfield that Kyiv officials said has been used as a staging location for the bombers whose missiles have ravaged Ukraine’s energy grid.

It was not immediately clear what caused the explo sion at either military installation, and the full extent of any damage was also unclear.

Hours after the blasts were reported, Ukrainian of ficials said Russia had launched a volley of missiles at targets throughout the country. Two people were killed and two others wounded in a Russian strike in the south ern region of Zaporizhzhia, according to Kyrylo Tymosh enko, a senior official in the Ukrainian president’s office.

Of the two explosions reported in Russia, one hit the Engels-2 air base, which is near the southwestern city of Saratov, hundreds of miles from the Ukrainian border, and hosts Russian strategic bombers, according to Astra, a Russian news outlet.

In Washington, a Defense Department official said that the Pentagon had seen evidence of an explosion at the Engels base. The official spoke on condition of ano nymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Earlier on Monday, an explosion at a military base in the city of Ryazan killed three people and wounded six others, the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported. It said that a fuel truck had exploded, citing a statement from the local emergency services, but did

not say what had caused the explosion.

Ukraine did not take responsibility for either blast. In the past it has remained deliberately ambiguous about its military’s involvement in strikes in Russian territory. But military and political officials took note of reports circulating in Russian news media.

Roman Busargin, the governor of the Saratov region, issued a statement urging residents to remain calm as word of a loud blast at the air base spread across social media channels.

“I want to assure you that no emergencies occurred in the residential areas of the city,” he said. “Information

about incidents at military facilities is checked by law enforcement agencies.”

Dmitri Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, said that he was aware of reports about the two incidents but did not have “precise information” and was unable to comment. He said that President Vladimir Putin also had been informed about the reports, the Russian state news agency Tass reported.

The Engels air base and the Ryazan military installa tion are between 300 and 450 miles from the Ukrainian border, which is beyond the range of any known missile in Ukraine’s arsenal.

The blast at the Engels airfield prompted some of Russia’s influential pro-invasion bloggers to call for more strikes against Ukraine, and to renew criticism of the Rus sian armed forces. “Sometimes we feel that even if you put a bomb into these people’s pockets — they wouldn’t notice anyway,” Voenniy Osvedomitel, a popular com mentator, wrote on the messaging app Telegram.

After the explosions, Mykhailo Podolyak, an advis er to Ukraine’s president, appeared to note the strikes obliquely, as Ukrainian officials have often done after unexplained explosions inside Russia.

“The Earth is round — discovery made by Galileo,” he wrote on Twitter. “If something is launched into other countries’ airspace, sooner or later unknown flying ob jects will return to departure point.”

Only a few hours after the explosions, Ukrainian of ficials said that more than a dozen Russian bombers had taken off from the Engels air base.

Putin signs law banning expressions of LGBTQ identity in public

Russian President Vladimir Putin intensified his crackdown on LGBTQ people on Monday, when he signed new legislation that widely bans public expression of their identity in the country.

The new law makes it illegal to spread “propaganda” about “nontraditional sexual relations” in the media, in advertising, in movies or on social media. It had passed the Duma, Russia’s parliament, by a vote of 397-0 on Nov. 24.

Demonstrations of “nontraditional relationships or preferences” will also be completely barred from adver tising, and from any outlet visible to minors. Distributing to minors any information “that causes children to want to change their sex” was also prohibited.

The law is likely to put another strain on a commu nity that has already been largely stigmatized in a country where officials have cast the repression of LGBTQ expres sion as part of a wider struggle to protect Russia from Western interference.

Putin has long cast LGBTQ life as a Western intrusion

into Russia’s traditional society and values, and propo nents of the new law recently likened the fight against LGBTQ expression to Russia’s military actions in Ukraine, which they see as a broader civilization clash between them and the West.

“We have our own way of development. We do not need European imposition of nontraditional relations,” Nina Ostanina, chair of the committee on family, women and children, said during parliamentary hearings on the legislation.

Russia has banned “propaganda of nontraditional sex ual relations” among minors since 2013, with steep fines or suspension of business activities for Russians, and ex pulsion from the country for foreigners who were found guilty. The new law extends the ban on such propaganda to all adults.

Since 2013, just over 100 cases ended up in court, ac cording to an analysis by a Russian lawyer, Maksim Ole nichev, but experts said its biggest impact was casting the community as inappropriate, making it more invisible and subject to abuses. The new law is likely to push the LG BTQ community further underground, its opponents said.

War and sanctions threaten to thrust Russia’s economy back in time

Valery Volodin, a welder at a sprawling Volkswa gen plant in western Russia, relaxed for most of the summer at his dacha, or weekend house, planting his garden and looking after his children. Volo din, 41, had little choice: The car factory closed down in March, joining more than 1,000 multinational compa nies that had curtailed operations in Russia because of its invasion of Ukraine.

Since then, he has been sitting at home while Volk swagen looks for a buyer. He goes into the plant, in Kaluga’s industrial zone, once a month to collect 50,000 rubles, about $800, a payment required by Russian la bor law that is the equivalent of two-thirds of his previ ous salary.

“We go into work, but the plant stands empty,” Volodin said in an interview. He does not mind a tem porary break from the physically demanding work, but he is not sure how to plan for the future.

“We live day to day, for now,” he said.

His experience is playing out across Russia for hun dreds of thousands of workers after the West imposed sweeping economic sanctions that were intended to hobble Moscow’s ability to wage war and to undercut public support for President Vladimir Putin.

More than nine months after the invasion, neither the war effort nor the economy has collapsed, and the economic pain is still limited for many Russians. Pu tin has avoided any substantive domestic pressure that would threaten his leadership. But the impact of what some have described as the most coordinated and deep est economic sanctions in modern history is evident in communities across Russia — and the worst may be yet to come.

The sanctions have stymied Russia’s faltering at tempts to modernize its economy along Western lines and to catch up to European living standards after the fall of the Soviet Union, said Vladislav Inozemtsev, the Washington-based director of the Center for Post-Indus trial Studies, a Russian research group. That has dimmed the hope that the country could become a modern, prosperous nation in the near term.

“The slogan now is ‘Keep things from getting worse,’ and that’s an important shift,” Inozemtsev said. “Even the government has stopped betting on national devel opment.”

Beneath the veneer of normalcy, he said, key drivers of growth, like technology transfer and investment, are eroding. “It’s like a cake that was dropped on the table and it looks more or less fine, but inside it’s all blown up,” Inozemtsev said.

Russia’s government was better prepared to with stand the sanctions than many in the West expected.

Since the start of the war, the International Mon etary Fund has revised its economic outlook for Russia upward twice and is forecasting a 3.5% decline in gross domestic product this year, similar to the government’s projections. This decline, while a major reversal from prewar growth expectations, stands in sharp contrast to the double digits collapse of Venezuela’s economic out

put after a wave of American sanctions in 2019.

“Sanctions have not destroyed the resilience of the Russian financial system, nor have they impacted mac roeconomic stability,” Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said last week during a government meeting.

A combination of high oil revenues, large currency reserves and an expert team of economic officials has allowed Putin to soften the blow — much to the frustra tion of some Western leaders who had hoped the sanc tions would have more bite by now.

But the loss of investment, technology and skills caused by the sanctions is likely to echo across genera tions, depriving many Russians of a chance at a better economic future, experts said.

In 2009, when Volkswagen launched full produc tion cycles in Kaluga, Volodin not only got a job, but also unexpected support.

“I got paid to get trained for my job,” he said, still im pressed. When a robot replaced him, he was retrained.

Those were boom times for Kaluga, an industrial re gion about 120 miles south of Moscow. The former gov ernor actively courted Western investors, learning Eng lish and building a modern airport with several flights a week to Germany. He transformed a regional economy that had been 80% oriented toward the Soviet military industrial complex into one connected with the West. Pharmaceutical companies flocked to the Kaluga region, which has a population of 1 million, and so did auto manufacturers.

Volkswagen hired about 4,200 workers. Volvo and Stellantis, which produced and sold the Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Jeep and Fiat brands in Russia, also es tablished operations in the region. An ecosystem of sup pliers and related industries sprang up to serve them, employing at least 25,000 people, according to Dmitry Trudovoy, chair of the Independent Workers’ Associa tion trade union. Courses in German and other foreign languages at the local university were a pipeline to an office job with the companies.

It seemed as if a new, modern business model was being constructed step by step in the region, a hint of how Russia’s economy might evolve.

By 2020, Volkswagen’s output alone represented about 13% of the Kaluga region’s entire industrial pro duction.

Now, most of the carmakers in the region have halted operations, and Trudovoy said the workers had no idea who might take over the Western factories and whether they would keep their jobs.

“They are nervous and scared for their future,” he said.

Kaluga’s industrial output fell 30% between Febru ary and July this year compared with the same period the year before, according to Rosstat, Russia’s statistics agency, becoming among the regions hit hardest.

Russian state firms and the government have vowed to replace the lost output with local brands. But there have been multiple signs of regression. In June, AvtoVAZ, which makes Russia’s best-known do mestic car brand, the Lada, announced that its new cars would meet only 1996 emissions standards and have no passenger-side air bags.

In a symbolic move, an AvtoVAZ affiliate, Kamaz, announced that it would use a Moscow plant vacated by Renault after the invasion to relaunch the produc tion of a Soviet-era car brand, Moskvich, or Musco vite, which had long been an almost comical byword for the deficiencies of communist consumer goods.

The slowdown in auto manufacturing also means that even Russia’s police will have a hard time acquir ing new patrol cars. The Interior Ministry has been unable to find a supplier for the 2,800 new vehicles required for the traffic police, according to the Russian newspaper Kommersant.

Kamaz claims it will produce 50,000 “modern, comfortable, high-quality and safe” cars in the plant next year, including many with electric motors. To aid these efforts, the Russian government plans to channel about $500 million to domestic carmakers.

But modern history offers few examples of suc cessful attempts to replace imported Western tech nology with local substitutes, said Inozemtsev, the economist. Russian companies lack the know-how and skilled workers to replace Western capital in technology-intensive sectors. Relying on homegrown substitutes will result in “primitivization,” Inozemtsev said.

Production will not disappear, he said, but it will gradually degrade, resulting in lower quality and quantity of products that will progressively reduce the standard of life of Russians.

In Kaluga, the collapse of the auto industry is hav ing wide-ranging collateral effects. The real estate market ground to a halt after the war started, said Kirill Gusev, editor of the online real estate site Kalu ga House. It started improving over the summer as people got used to a new normal, but then collapsed after Putin announced a military call-up of hundreds of thousands of men in September.

“Real estate is essentially long-term planning, but right now we are in a place where you can’t do that at all,” Gusev said. “We all saw how easy it was for normality to collapse.”

Defaults loom as poor countries face an economic storm

Developing nations are facing a catastro phic debt crisis in the coming months as rapid inflation, slowing growth, ri sing interest rates and a strengthening dollar coalesce into a perfect storm that could set off a wave of messy defaults and inflict economic pain on the world’s most vulnerable people.

Poor countries owe, by some calculations, as much as $200 billion to wealthy nations, multilateral development banks and private creditors. Rising interest rates have increased the value of the dollar, making it harder for foreign borrowers with debt denominated in U.S. currency to repay their loans.

Defaulting on a huge swath of loans would send borrowing costs for vulnerable na tions even higher and could spawn financial crises when nearly 100 million people have already been pushed into poverty this year by the combined effects of the pandemic, infla tion and Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The danger poses another headwind for a world economy that has been sputtering toward a recession. The leaders of the world’s advanced economies have been grappling privately in recent weeks with how to avert financial crises in emerging markets such as Zambia, Sri Lanka and Ghana, but they have struggled to develop a plan to accelerate debt relief as they confront their own economic woes.

As rich countries brace for a global reces sion and try to cope with high food and ener gy prices, investment flows to the developing world have been abating and big creditors, particularly China, have been slow to restruc ture loans.

Mass defaults in low-income countries are unlikely to spur a global financial crisis given the relatively small size of their economies. But the potential is causing policymakers to rethink debt sustainability in an era of rising interest rates and increasingly opaque loan transac tions. In part, that’s because defaults can make it harder for countries like the United States to export goods to indebted nations, further slowing the world economy and possibly lea ding to widespread hunger and social unrest. As Sri Lanka drew closer to its default this year, its central bank was forced to arrange a bar ter agreement to pay for Iranian oil with tea leaves.

“Finding ways to reduce the debt is im portant for these countries to get to the light at the end of the tunnel,” said David Malpass, the World Bank president, in an interview at the summit for the Group of 20 nations last month in Bali, Indonesia. “This burden on the develo ping countries is heavy, and if it goes on, they

continue to get worse, which then has impacts on advanced economies in terms of increased migration flows and lost markets.”

The urgency follows lockdowns to con tain the coronavirus in China and Russia’s war in Ukraine, which have stunted global out put and sent food and energy prices soaring. The Federal Reserve has been rapidly raising interest rates in the United States, bolstering the strength of the dollar and making it more expensive for developing countries to import necessities for populations already struggling with rising prices.

Economists and global financial institu tions such as the World Bank and the Interna tional Monetary Fund have been raising alarm about the gravity of the crisis. The World Bank projected this year that about a dozen coun tries could face default in the next year, and the IMF calculated that 60% of low-income developing countries were in debt distress or at high risk of it.

Since then, the finances of developing countries have continued to deteriorate. The Council on Foreign Relations said this past week that 12 countries now had its highest de fault rating, up from three 18 months ago.

Brad Setser, a senior fellow at council, es timates that $200 billion of sovereign debt in emerging markets needs to be restructured.

“It is certainly a systemic problem for the countries that are affected,” Setser said. “Be cause an unusually large number of countries borrowed from the market and borrowed from China between 2012 and 2020, there’s an unusually large number of countries that are in default or at risk of default.”

Restructuring debt can include providing grace periods for repayment, lowering inter est rates and forgiving some of the principal amount that is owed. The United States has tra ditionally led broad debt-relief initiatives such as the “Brady Bond” plan for Latin America in the 1990s. However, the emergence of com mercial creditors that lend at high rates and prolific loans from China — which has been loath to take losses — has complicated inter national debt relief efforts.

Fitch, the credit rating firm, warned in a report last month that “more defaults are pro bable” in emerging markets next year and lamented that the so-called Common Fra mework that the Group of 20 established in 2020 to facilitate debt restructuring “is not pro ving effective in resolving crises quickly.”

Since the framework was established, only Zambia, Chad and Ethiopia have sought debt relief. It has been a grinding process, in volving creditor committees, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, all of which must negotiate and agree upon how to

Debt-relief efforts are stalling as developing economies are being hit by higher interest rates, a strong dollar and slowing global growth.

restructure loans that the countries owe. After two years, Zambia is finally on the verge of restructuring its debts to China’s state banks, and Chad reached an agreement last month with private creditors, including Glencore, to restructure its debt.

China, which has become one of the world’s largest creditors, remains an obstacle to relief. Development experts have accused it of setting “debt traps” for developing countries with its lending program of more than $500 bi llion, which has been described as predatory.

“This is really about China being unwilling to admit its lending has been unsustainable and China dragging its feet in getting to deals,” said Mark Sobel, a former Treasury Department official and the U.S. chairman of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum.

China has accused Western commercial creditors and multilateral institutions of failing to do enough to restructure debts and denied that it has engaged in predatory lending.

“These are not ‘debt traps,’ but monu ments of cooperation,” Wang Yi, China’s fore ign minister, said this year.

China’s own economy is slowing becau se of its strict “zero COVID” policy, which has included mass testing, quarantines and lock downs of its population. A domestic real estate crisis has also made it more difficult for China to accept losses on loans that it has made to other countries.

At the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank in Washington in October, poli cymakers said the pace of debt restructuring was too slow and called for coordinated action among creditors and borrowers to find solu tions before it was too late.

During a panel discussion about debt res tructuring, Gita Gopinath, the first deputy ma naging director of the IMF, said countries and creditors needed to avoid the kind of wishful

thinking that led to defaults.

“There is very much the tendency to gamble for redemption,” Gopinath said. “There’s very much a tendency for creditors to hope there will be gambling for redemp tion, and then nothing gets solved.”

But at the conclusion of the Group of 20 meeting in November, it appeared that little progress had been made. In a joint decla ration, the leaders expressed their concern about the “deteriorating debt situation” in some vulnerable middle-income countries. However, they offered few concrete solu tions.

“We reaffirm the importance of joint efforts by all actors, including private credi tors, to continue working toward enhancing debt transparency,” the statement read.

The statement included a footnote sa ying that “one member has divergent views on debt issues.” That country, according to people familiar with the matter, was China.

In the interview, Malpass said that Chi na had been willing to discuss debt relief, but that the “devil is in the details” when it comes to restructuring loans to reduce debt burdens.

The World Bank president predicted that the fiscal problems facing developing coun tries were unlikely to become a global debt crisis of the kind that occurred in the 1980s when many Latin American countries could not service their foreign debt. He suggested, however, that there was a moral imperative to do more to help poor countries and po pulations that had been pushed deeper into poverty during the pandemic.

“There would be continued reversals in development in terms of poverty, in terms of hunger and malnutrition, which are already going up,” Malpass said. “And it’s coming at a time when countries need more resources, not less.”

‘Important step’ toward addressing toxic legacy of huge mine

An independent investigation will begin today into the environ mental and human rights im pact of an abandoned gold and cop per mine in Papua New Guinea that residents say has been poisoning their water, flooding their lands and putting their livelihoods at risk.

In 2020, 156 residents of Bougain ville, an island in an autonomous re gion of the country, accused the mining giant Rio Tinto of human rights and en vironmental violations related to what they said was its failure to clean up mi llions of tons of waste at the mine, Pan guna, which closed more than three decades ago.

Working with the Human Rights Law Center in Australia, the residents filed a human rights complaint with a nonjudicial body in Australia that has the power to investigate complaints made against Australian companies operating overseas, and called for an investigation by the Australian gover nment. (The mine was established du ring a period of Australian colonial ad ministration of Papua New Guinea.)

Last year, Rio Tinto said it would fund an independent impact as sessment in response to the complaint. The residents celebrated the launch of the first phase of that assessment, on Tuesday, as a promising start, although it was noted that Rio Tinto has commit ted to paying for the impact assessment but not remediation.

“This is an important step towards addressing insecurity and pain for the people in the impacted community areas,” Theonila Roka Matbob, a lan downer from Makosi Village in Bouga inville and a member of Bougainville’s parliament, said in a statement released by the Human Rights Law Center.

“We are always worrying that the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe is not safe,” said Matbob, who is in an impacted area. “We worry about levees collapsing and mine waste flooding our lands and communities.”

Once one of the biggest and most profitable copper and gold mines in

operated by Bougainville Copper Ltd., an Australian subsidiary of Rio Tinto, a multinational company.

Locals worried about the mine’s envi ronmental damage and felt that the profits were distributed unequally, with the Papua New Guinea mainland reaping the bene fits, while those on the island were left to deal with its impact.

Tensions over the mine were a contri buting factor in Bougainville’s independen ce movement, which continues to this day, and protests by locals led to the closing of the mine in 1989 and a decade-long civil conflict.

During its operation, the mine relea sed over 1 million tons of waste products into the nearby rivers, said Keren Adams, the legal director of the Human Rights Law Center. Over time, that waste has eroded into nearby rivers that residents depend on for drinking, farming and fishing, she said.

The Human Rights Law Center visi ted communities where “mine waste has flooded all of the nearby creeks that they use for collecting drinking water, and the groundwater sources,” she said. “As a re sult, people are having to walk for seve ral hours to fetch water from other, farther away sources.”

The assessment will be conducted by the independent environmental company Tetra Tech Coffey and overseen by a com mittee consisting of community leaders, landowners, Papua New Guinea govern ment representatives, the Human Rights Law Center and representatives from Rio Tinto.

Its first phase, which is expected to take 18 months, will look at the most acute risks posed by the mine, particularly tho se that might pose a danger to people’s health and safety, like contamination of water sources and stability of aging mine infrastructure.

It will involve interviews with locals and technical examinations like checking the stability of levies and sampling water sources, said Adams, and will pave the way for further investigations and discus sions about solutions.

“This will help identify the problems, but, ultimately, Rio Tinto needs to commit to funding the solutions so that communi ties can live on their land in safety,” she said.

Shortly after Paul Farmer helped get Partners in Health off the ground in 1987, international global health groups were debating whether it was even possible to treat poor patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, as its treatments were expensive and required patients to stick to complicated regimens. Indeed, even ordinary tuberculosis for which cheaper drugs and proven regimens existed kept killing poor people around the world.

Farmer, and the band of can-do mavericks who had assembled around PIH, had no patience for such excuses — or any excuses for denying care to poor people.

Their programs, based on providing highquality care regardless of patients’ ability to pay and empowering them in their own treatment, were so successful that they upended global public health.

In his biography of Farmer, “Mountains Beyond Mountains,” from 2003, Tracy Kidder noted that even as tuberculosis killed more adults than any other disease in Haiti, not a single person had died of it since 1988 in the PIH hospital that served a desperately poor rural area with a population of about 100,000 people. Protocols the group developed in Peru for successfully treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis were adopted globally.

After learning about Farmer and PIH from Kidder’s book, I’ve been donating to the organization ever since. This year is particularly poignant, though. Farmer died in February.

According to Kidder, PIH reduced newborn HIV transmission from mothers to babies in the rural Haitian community it served to 4%, which he also noted was less than the rate in the United States at the time. Their clinic stopped outbreaks of drug-resistant typhoid with effective antibiotics and by cleaning up water supplies. It drastically reduced infant mortality. They achieved this despite a meager budget and with many patients traveling for hours, sometimes on foot or by donkey.

How? Farmer had a very straightforward philosophy: All sick people deserve high-quality treatment. Illness and poverty are intertwined. The proper response is to provide resources while working with people to empower them — thus Partners in Health.

The secret? Treat the whole person. With respect. Poor patients needed more than drugs to get well, so Partners in Health provided them with food, too. They provided school fees to children. They installed systems to purify the water that caused so much disease. And they always trained and hired local staff, who would follow up with patients to identify and help remove obstacles to their treatment.

Farmer, a Harvard-educated physician, was also

trained as a medical anthropologist. Kidder wrote that Farmer learned from local staff that more than threequarters of Voodoo ceremonies were attempts to drive away illness. He saw little reason to argue with people about beliefs and faith; instead, he always focused on providing high-quality health care. Voodoo priests that he treated ended up as conveyor belts to the clinic, bringing their own ill parishioners to be treated. Farmer approached people with humility and respect, which they reciprocated.

Farmer’s own lapsed Catholicism was rejuvenated by his encounters with liberation theology, with its sharp criticism of inequality and injustice. He didn’t see theology as an obstacle to his mission. He’d say he had “faith” but also add: “I also have faith in penicillin, rifampin, isoniazid and the good absorption of the fluoroquinolones, in bench science, clinical trials, scientific progress, that HIV is the cause of every case of AIDS, that the rich oppress the poor, that wealth is flowing in the wrong direction, that this will cause more epidemics and kill millions.”

Farmer was only 62 when he died, while training staff in a Rwandan hospital he helped establish. He had lived nonstop, treating patients around the world as well as fundraising, cajoling, pleading and teaching.

Sociologists recognize a form of power called “charismatic authority” — Max Weber called it “the authority of the extraordinary and personal gift of grace.” Farmer certainly represented that. He inspired a generation of doctors, nurses, public health workers and advocates and ordinary people. He used the respect and awe he garnered to lobby global leaders and to help lead the charge to change how public health operates.

But what happens to a movement when its charismatic leader dies? In this case, the best option is what sociologists call “routinization of charisma” — things keep working because they become entrenched and institutionalized, not just because someone extraordinary wields enormous personal influence.

Since the early days, PIH had already grown larger and more institutionalized, attracting millions in donations from individuals as well as foundations. They’ve expanded from Haiti and Peru to places like Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Lesotho and the Navajo Nation. But they’re still small compared to the need. And their kind of work is even more crucial now, since the pandemic didn’t just cause suffering through COVID-19 — much basic health care has been interrupted around the world. As it always goes, the poorest, globally, will suffer the most from these disruptions, which will require an extensive effort to ameliorate.

Paul Farmer’s answer to “how does one scale this up” seemed to be simple: follow the basic principles of dignity, training and empowering local people and

giving them resources. Money always matters.

Too often, the burning, basic question of lack of resources gets buried under debates about the effectiveness of various approaches and worries about being pragmatic or sensible. But as Farmer pointed out, many who advocate for “sensible” policies that ended up doing too little for the poor and sick “would never accept such a death sentence themselves” or their children.

Would I prefer a global tax policy that redistributed wealth to alleviate poverty and illness, rather than relying on NGOs like PIH? Yes. But we can’t just wait for an ideal resolution when desperate families need a clinic where they will be treated for free, perhaps provided food and school fees.

This year, I’m writing my check for PIH not just because of their good work in some of the toughest places around the world but also with the hope that Paul Farmer’s legacy of providing treatment, respect and empowerment to all patients can endure and even thrive. When one donates online to PIH, there’s a box that asks if it’s in memory of someone. I’m going to write Paul Farmer there, and hope they get enough extra donations, maybe even for another clinic somewhere, because saving lives now is what matters.

Brenda Lawrence, Jenniffer González y grupo bipartita de mujeres promueven legislación para apoyar a veteranas

WASHINGTON, D.C. – La Cámara de Represen tantes federal aprobó el pasado jueves, el H.R. 2521, la Ley DOULA de Asuntos de Veterano de 2022, para mejorar los resultados de salud materna de las veteranas embarazadas.

La medida bipartita, que ordena un estudio de viabilidad para dar servicios de doula a mujeres vete ranas, fue presentada por la excopresidenta del Cau cus para Asuntos de la Mujer del Congreso, Brenda L. Lawrence (MI-14), la actual copresidenta del Caucus, Jenniffer González Colón (PR-AL) junto a Madeleine Dean (D-PA), Debbie Lesko (R-AZ), Lucy McBath (DGA), Kat Cammack (R-FL), Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) y Ni kema Williams (D- GA).

Las congresistas Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), Jenni ffer González Colón (R-PR), Madeleine Dean (D-PA), Kat Cammack (R-FL), Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), Chrissy Houlahan (D- PA) radicaron la H. Res. 1497, una resolución que reconoce las contribuciones por los

pasados 25 años del Monumento a las Mujeres en el Servicio Militar (Military Women’s Memorial). Esta cuenta las historias de más de 3 millones de muje res que han servido a la nación desde la Revolución Americana y es el único depósito histórico para docu mentar el servicio de las mujeres militares de Estados Unidos.

“Las mujeres se han convertido en el grupo de más rápido crecimiento dentro de la población de ve teranos con cerca de 2 millones en los Estados Uni dos. Como tal, necesitamos recursos dentro de VA que se adapten a sus necesidades. El H.R. 2521, la Ley DOULA para VA, se basa en este principio al autori zar un estudio de viabilidad sobre el establecimiento de un programa piloto para ofrecer servicios de doula para veteranas embarazadas inscritas en VA. Me enor gullece unirme a mi amiga, la representante Brenda Lawrence en este proyecto de ley y ayudar a extender este servicio para las mujeres veteranas que han servi do a nuestra nación y ahora son parte del sistema de atención médica de VA. Trabajaré junto a mis colegas

para garantizar que esta medida se convierta en ley”, dijo González Colón en declaraciones escritas.

“La mortalidad materna en los Estados Unidos es una crisis de salud pública”, dijo la congresista Bren da Lawrence (D-MI-14). “A medida que atendemos este grave problema de salud pública, somos respon sables de garantizar que las veteranas embarazadas estén incluidas en la conversación”.

Extienden fecha límite para vuelos domésticos sin REAL ID

WASHINGTON, D.C. – El Departamento de Segu ridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés) anunció este lunes, su intención de extender la fecha de aplicación total de REAL ID por 24 meses, del 3 de mayo de 2023 al 7 de mayo de 2025.

“El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional continúa trabajando de cerca con los estados de Estados Unidos, el Distrito de Columbia y los territorios de Estados Uni dos para cumplir con los requisitos de REAL ID”, dijo el secretario de Seguridad Nacional, Alejandro Mayorkas en declaraciones escritas.

“Esta extensión dará a los estados el tiempo nece sario para garantizar que sus residentes puedan obtener una licencia o tarjeta de identificación que cumpla con REAL ID. DHS también usará este tiempo para imple mentar innovaciones para hacer que el proceso sea más eficiente y accesible. Continuaremos asegurándonos de

que el público estadounidense pueda viajar de manera segura”, añadió.

Según las nuevas regulaciones publicadas para ejecutar este cambio, los estados ahora tienen tiempo adicional para asegurarse de que sus residentes tengan licencias de conducir y tarjetas de identificación que cumplan con los estándares de seguridad establecidos por la Ley REAL ID. Según lo exige la ley, luego de la fecha límite de cumplimiento, las agencias federales, incluida la Administración de Seguridad del Transporte (TSA), tendrán prohibido aceptar licencias de conducir y tarjetas de identificación que no cumplan con estos estándares federales.

Explicó que la extensión es necesaria, en parte, para abordar los impactos persistentes de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la capacidad de obtener una licencia de conducir o tarjeta de identificación REAL ID. El pro greso de REAL ID en los últimos dos años se ha visto obstaculizado significativamente por las agencias esta

tales de licencias de conducir que tienen que trabajar con los retrasos creados por la pandemia. Muchas de estas agencias tomaron varias medidas en respuesta a la pandemia, incluida la extensión automática de las fechas de vencimiento de las licencias de conducir y las tarjetas de identificación y el cambio de operacio nes a solo citas.

Aprobada por el Congreso en 2005 siguiendo una recomendación de la Comisión del 11 de septiembre, la Ley REAL ID establece estándares mínimos de se guridad para las licencias de conducir y tarjetas de identificación emitidas por el estado. Los estándares de seguridad incluyen la incorporación de tecnología contra la falsificación, la prevención del fraude interno y el uso de evidencia documental y verificación de registros para garantizar que una persona sea quien dice ser.

When Santa slays: Holiday genre movies

Zadora!) are glued to Martian television’s cov erage of Christmas on Earth, and they can’t understand why the jolly guy in red doesn’t travel to Mars with toys and cheer like he does for little Earthlings.

To soothe things at home, Kimar has the real Santa Claus (John Call) snatched from the North Pole and brought to Mars to set up a toy shop; Earth siblings Billy (Victor Stiles) and Betty (Donna Conforti) get caught up in the kidnapping plot, too. Of course, Santa wins over his alien captors, becoming Earth’s Christmas spirit ambassador to Mars.

Directed by Nicholas Webster, this is “a Christmasy little movie, with science-fiction trimmings for fledgling astronauts,” as Howard Thompson put it in his New York Times review. This is the most kid-appropriate movie on this list, although little ones might be freaked out by the Martians’ avocado-green faces. Adults will appreciate the Richard Nixon gag and the ultra-mod “Lost in Space”-ish design.

and was sentenced to deliver presents for 1,000 years.

Now that his punishment is over, the bomb-throwing Santa is on a scorched-earth mission to exact revenge on the angel and the angel’s grandson, Nicolas (Douglas Smith). The final showdown involves a high-stakes game of curling and a fiery portal to perdi tion.

Despite its low budget, this breast-bar ing, foul-mouthed film, written and directed by David Steiman, plays like a Hollywood ac tion movie, which makes sense since its fight choreographer, Andy Cheng, worked on “Rush Hour” and other Jackie Chan films. Ridiculous violence, including death by menorah, and decidedly dated jokes drive the humor. (Hold your nose at the casual homophobia.) James Caan and Fran Drescher play a noxious cou ple in the film’s joyously gory opening scene.

A Singular Santa

Genre cinema has always been a wel coming place for films about psy chopaths who dress like Santa and go slashing through the snow. But in the new action comedy “Violent Night,” it’s not a make-believe Santa but the fat man him self (played by David Harbour) who goes on a slaughtering rampage. (His victims are evil hostage takers, so don’t worry — he’s still the good guy.)

Matthew C. DuPée, author of the new book “A Scary Little Christmas: A History of Yuletide Horror Films, 1972-2020,” says there aren’t many movies about sinister or strange actual Santas because the man is such a be nevolent figure, unlike Krampus or other punishing Christmastime creatures from Eu ropean folklore.

“There’s no aspect of punishment to Santa,” DuPee said in a phone interview. “His worst character trait is that he leaves coal in stead of a present. It’s in that lack of overtly dark undertones where genre jumps in to ex plore darker themes.”

If you’re a movie lover who thinks get ting coal in your stocking is the sign of a year well lived, celebrate the holidays by stream ing these outre Santa films. Mystifyingly, most of them are family-friendly, depending on your tolerance for bro humor and grossout horror.

This creepy folk-horror fairy tale is about a precocious little boy named Pietari (Onni Tommila), who’s worried that crews drilling on a mountain near his Lapland home will disturb the frigid terrain where an evil Santa-type creature from Finnish mythology is buried in the icy snow. When Pietari’s dad (Jorma Tommila) traps one of the entity’s devil ish elves, father and son team up to make sure that this dark-sided Santa and his ancient evil are never defrosted.

“The Thing” meets “A Christmas Story” is the best way to describe this nightmarish film from Finnish writer-director Jalmari Hel ander. (It’s told in Finnish and English.) Based on two of Helander’s short films, it’s a com bination of touching family drama, St. Nick origin story and dark comedy, with scares that come mostly from a snarling Santa and his trollish, naked ghouls. The ending will make you appreciate — and fear — your nearest mall Santa the next time you plop a child on his chubby lap.

Vince Vaughn reunites with David Dob kin, his “Wedding Crashers” director, on this dippy comedy that falls somewhere between the good-hearted goofiness of “Elf” and the rebelliousness of “Bad Santa” — just the thing for fans of SantaCon fight videos.

Fred (Vaughn), a smooth-talking Chi cago repo man, gets bailed out of jail by his older brother, Nick Claus (Paul Giamatti), and invited to the North Pole on the condition that Fred help the saintly Nick and his elves get through the holidays by pitching in at Santa’s bustling workshop. Things take a dark turn when an unscrupulous efficiency expert (Kev in Spacey) threatens to shut down the toymak ing. Goofball that he is, Fred still has a heart of gold, and like a last-minute Christmas Eve trip to the mall, he saves the holiday.

The film has a surprisingly starry sup porting cast, including Kathy Bates as Fred’s disapproving mom, Rachel Weisz as his putupon girlfriend, Miranda Richardson as the exasperated Ms. Claus and Ludacris as Santa’s good-time house DJ.

If your thirst for strange Santas is still not quenched, this discomforting Mexican moral ity tale will be the gift that keeps on giving — nightmares, that is. (It’s dubbed in English, so you won’t miss a baffling word.) DuPée called it “one of the most bizarre Christmas films of all time.”

The story begins as children from around the world join Santa (José Elías Moreno) to do his bidding, surely in violation of international child labor laws. (Brace yourself for the rac ist caricatures.) Unfortunately, Satan is out to turn Earth’s kids against Santa and Christmas, like a Luciferian subversion of “It’s a Wonder ful Life.” But Santa isn’t having it, and from his workshop/space station, he works magic to thwart the devil’s anti-joy agenda.

René Cardona’s funhouse-meets-hellhouse film is some hybrid of science fiction, holiday fantasia and Christian children’s tele vision. (Cardona was a king of Mexican ex ploitation cinema, in films such as “Night of the Bloody Apes” and “Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy.”) The lessons in good vs. evil seem aimed at kids, but only a Scrooge would watch the film with anyone younger than 13 unless you want to answer questions such as: Why does Santa own a giant pair of fuzzy lips? Why would sad-faced dancers ter rorize a little girl in a nightmarish dream bal let? What moisturizer does Satan use to make his face glisten like a drag queen? You’ve been warned.

Aline Kominsky-Crumb, pioneering comics memoirist, dies at 74

Aline Kominsky-Crumb, who in the early 1970s used a self-deprecating and sexualized confes sional style to create what is believed to be the first autobiographical work by a woman in underground comics — and who continued to explore her life after her marriage to Robert Crumb, a giant of the genre — died Wednesday at her home in the small French village of Sauve. She was 74.

Her family said the cause was pancreatic cancer.

In her raw, sometimes crudely drawn work, Komin sky-Crumb unabashedly described her abusive childhood, her cosmetic surgery and her hypo chondria, as well as her sex life and her long open marriage to Crumb, with whom she occasionally collaborated. She called her magnified, zaftig alter ego The Bunch.

“I have stayed out of the mainstream my entire life,” she told Artforum this year, “partially because the work itself determines that it’s not mainstream work. We started our comics off in the revolution ary underground. I was a painter with a degree in fine art, and I chose to do stuff that could be read on a toilet.”

In the male-dominated world of underground comics, Kominsky-Crumb established the tone for her idiosyncratic career as a member of a collec tive of female artists in San Francisco. Her first au tobiographical story, “Goldie: A Neurotic Woman,” appeared in the inaugural issue of the collective’s Wimmen’s Comix, published in 1972. In the story, Goldie — the name comes from her original sur name, Goldsmith — refers to herself as “a giant slug living in a fantasy of future happiness.”

Three years later, after leaving the Wimmen’s Comix collective with Diane Noomin (who also died this year) to create the one-shot comic Twisted Sisters, she drew one of her most vivid images. On the cover, Bunch sits on a toilet, looking jittery, her polka-dot underwear down at her ankles. She peers at a distorted fun-house image of herself in a hand mirror and thinks, “I look like a 50 yr. old busi nessman!” and “How many calories in a cheese enchilada?”

In “The Young Bunch,” an “unromantic, non adventure story” in Twisted Sisters, she told of her first sexual experience, a date rape that occurred when she was a teenager. She graphically portrayed the nonconsensual encounter; Bunch’s opinion of the man’s penis (“looks like gizzards”); and the aftermath, when a tearful Bunch sits on the bed and asks him not to tell anyone, and he callously replies: “Hey, c’mon, doncha wanna burger? I’m hungry.”

Aline Ricki Goldsmith was born Aug. 1, 1948,

in Long Beach, New York, on Long Island, and grew up mostly in the nearby wealthy hamlet of Woodmere. Her father, Arnold, was a businessman, and her mother, An nette (Rosenberg) Goldsmith, sold advertising for the Yel low Pages.

Kominsky-Crumb said that her parents had no pa tience for children, that her father made her feel ugly and that her upbringing was dysfunctional, a theme that she often explored in her comics. She lived with her grandparents, who she said treated her like a princess, for the first five years of her life.

“My family was really barbaric,” she told HuffPost

in 2017. “My father was a wannabe criminal. If he could have been a ‘Goodfella,’ he would have. But he wasn’t Italian. He was Jewish. So he was a total loser.”

As a teenager, Aline found escape from her mis erable home in the art galleries and museums of Man hattan and with the hippies in Greenwich Village. Af ter graduating from high school in 1966, she attended the Cooper Union. After she married Carl Kominsky in 1968, she attended the University of Arizona, where she studied painting and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1971.

After divorcing Kominsky, she left for San Fran cisco that year with the goal of drawing comics. She found inspiration in Justin Green’s confessional epic “Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary,” which was published that year.

Kominsky-Crumb and Noomin broke from the Wimmen’s Comix collective in 1975, she would later recall, amid bickering and power plays.

“There were two factions: militant feminists who wanted nothing to do with men and women who wanted to be strong and independent but sexy, too,” she told HuffPost. She chose the latter side and left with Noomin to create Twisted Sisters.

Kominsky-Crumb and Crumb began collabo rating shortly after they met in 1971, working on a serial autobiography, published first in two issues of Dirty Laundry Comics, in 1974 and 1978, and later in various other publications over the years. The entire saga was anthologized in a book in 1992. She took the name “Bunch” from a charac ter Crumb had created before they met who had an eerily similar surname, Honeybunch Kaminski. They wed in 1978 and had an open marriage.

In 1981 the Crumbs started a comics anthol ogy, Weirdo, which Kominsky-Crumb later edited for several years. It ended publication in 1993, two years after the Crumbs moved to France, wearied by the wave of newcomers who were building Mc Mansions in Winters, the Northern California town where they had been living. But they moved only at Kominsky-Crumb’s urging.

“Can you imagine a stronger test of fortitude than lifting someone as self-absorbed as Crumb by derrick and transplanting him from Northern Cali fornia to a small village in France?” cartoonist Art Spiegelman said by phone.

Kominsky-Crumb, who in the early 1970s used a self-deprecating and sexualized confessional style to create what is belie ved to be the first autobiographical work by a woman in under ground comics — and who continued to explore her life after her marriage to Robert Crumb, a giant of the genre — died on Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, at her home in the small French village of Sauve. She was 74.

While Crumb was acclaimed for years, Kominsky-Crumb did not receive comparable praise until 2007, when her graphic memoir “Need More Love” was published and an exhibition of her work was held at the Adam Baumgold Gallery in Manhattan.

In addition to her husband, Kominsky-Crumb is survived by their daughter, Sophie Crumb, who is also a comics artist, and three grandchildren.

With Mauna Loa’s eruption, a rare glimpse into Earth

Notice that Mauna Loa, the largest active volca no in the world, was going to erupt — as it did this past week for the first time in nearly four decades — came to people on the Big Island of Hawaii an hour before the lava began to flow. Public officials scrambled to alert nearby residents. Scientists rushed to predict which areas of the island might be in danger. The curious made plans to observe what could shape up to be an event of a lifetime: the exhalation of a mas sive mountain.

The eruption was years in the making, matched not quite in scale by the ongoing effort to monitor the volcano with seismometers, spectrometers, tiltmeters, GPS units and other state-of-the-art tools. “Mauna Loa is one of the most well-instrumented volcanoes in the United States,” said Wendy Stovall, a volcanologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. Even still, so much about the inner workings of the mountain is unknown, Stovall and other scientists said.

Weston Thelen, a volcanologist with the USGS who monitored the mountain from 2011-16, said sheer size, mineral composition and heat presented logistical difficulties for scientists and public officials hoping to predict its movements. “Mauna Loa is a beast,” he said.

So far, the eruption has posed little danger to sur rounding communities — and thus has lent a sense of urgency to scientists who are eager to unlock Mauna Loa’s many mysteries. For how many weeks, months or years will the opportunity remain available? “No body really knows how long this eruption’s going to last,” said Gabi Laske, a geophysicist at the University of California, San Diego.

Thelen said, “We get very rare looks at what’s hap pening in the volcano. If we just station people in lawn chairs at the end of the lava flow and say, ‘It’s moved 1 meter,’ we’re blowing it.”

An ancient hot spot

Most volcanoes form above the boundaries of Earth’s tectonic plates, where collisions and separa tions can create anomalous areas in the crust and the upper mantle through which rock — made molten and less dense by heat from the planet’s core — can push through to the surface. But the Hawaiian Islands are 2,000 miles from the nearest tectonic boundary, and their existence puzzled geologists for centuries.

In 1963, a geophysicist named John Tuzo Wilson proposed that the islands, which are covered with lay ers of volcanic stone, sit above a magma plume, which forms when rock from the deep mantle bubbles up and pools below the crust. This “hot spot” continually push es toward the surface, sometimes bursting through the tectonic plate, melting and deforming the surrounding

“The closer we look, the more questions that we have.”

rock as it goes. The plate shifts over millions of years while the magma plume stays relatively still, creating new volcanoes atop the plate and leaving inactive ones in their wake. The results are archipelagoes such as the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain and parts of the Iceland Plateau.

The hot spot theory gained broad consensus in the subsequent decades. “There is no other theory that is able to reconcile so many observations,” said Helge Gonnermann, a volcanologist at Rice University.

Some confirming observations came relatively recently, in the 2000s, after scientists began placing seismometers, which measure terrestrial energy waves, on the ocean floor. John Orcutt, a geophysicist at the University of California, San Diego, who helped lead that research, said the seismometers had provided an X-ray of the magma plume rising beneath Hawaii. The instruments were able to accurately read the direction and speed of the magma’s flow; the results pointed re soundingly toward the presence of a hot spot.

This hot spot has probably been fomenting vol canic activity for tens of millions of years, although it arrived in its current position under Mauna Loa only about 600,000 years ago. And as long as it remains there, Orcutt said, it will reliably produce volcanic activity. “Few things on Earth are so predictable,” he added.

Under the hood of the volcano

The magma plume fueling Mauna Loa is made pri marily of molten basalt, which is less viscous than the magma beneath steeper stratovolcanoes such as Mount

St. Helens and Mount Vesuvius. This makes the average Mauna Loa eruption less explosive and contributes to the mountain’s long profile: about 10 miles from base to summit and covering 2,000 square miles.

The movement of thinner magma is also more dif ficult for seismometers to detect, which makes it harder for scientists to map the system of magma melts, rock, crystal and gas that feed eruptions.

Satellites, while ever improving, are not sensitive enough under normal conditions to see deeper into Mauna Loa than the shallow magma reservoir a couple of miles below the summit. “It is not clear whether there are additional storage reservoirs at greater depths,” Gonnermann said.

Things change, though, when the volcano starts breathing. Magma pushes upward more quickly, crack ing rock below ground and causing the surface of the volcano to swell. Such deformations can be picked up by seismometers, which detect the depth and intensity of minerals vibrating and splitting under the molten pressure. From this, together with data about the gases and crystals emitted during the eruption and tiny inflec tions in gravitational force, a picture begins to emerge from the chaos.

“We’re lucky if the pressure is high enough or the system is moving fast enough that we can get clues to what’s going on there,” Thelen said. “For the most part, when these things are not erupting, they’re quiet.”

Mauna Loa last erupted in 1984, and in the years afterward, it stayed mostly silent, even as the smaller neighboring volcano, Kilauea, which shares the same magma source, erupted continuously. Rumblings in the ground beneath the volcano started increasing in fre quency and intensity around 2013, and seismometers detected clusters of low-magnitude earthquakes deep underground.

“But it waxes and wanes and stops inflating and hangs out,” Thelen said. “You get lulled into this ‘Here we go, another swarm up there.’”

Sean Solomon, a geophysicist at Columbia Uni versity, said some earthquakes were caused by the vol cano’s weight pushing down on the seafloor, but most result from rising magma, which presses up incessantly, fracturing rocks, creating new melts and forming paths of less resistance.

There’s no knowing when the next eruption will occur. For some volcanologists on the Big Island, this is the first Mauna Loa eruption of their lifetimes. But, as Solomon noted, “on geological time scales, 38 years is pretty short.”

Orcutt said, “It’s just something that’s happened for thousands to millions of years, and it’s not going to stop doing that. You can’t hold back the magma for ever.”

The details of Mauna Loa’s plumbing system are still rela tively unclear, said Weston Thelen, a volcanologist with the U.S. Geological Service.

Crime Dog to Cooperstown: Fred McGriff elected to Hall of Fame

In a vote that was both an extraor dinary show of support for a single player and a strong repudiation of the game’s performance-enhancing drug era, baseball’s 16-person Contemporary Eras Committee unanimously voted slug ging first baseman Fred McGriff into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday eve ning.

At the same time, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens each received less than four votes in their first appearance in front of the committee — a replacement for the veterans committee — since dropping off the writers’ ballot last year.

Players under consideration needed at least 12 votes (75%) for election, and committee members were limited to three votes per ballot.

For McGriff, who spent a maximum 10 years on the writers’ ballot without re ceiving the 75% necessary for election, the celebration was a long time coming. Known as the Crime Dog, after the car toon crime prevention mascot McGruff, McGriff played for six franchises over 19 seasons and hit at least 30 home runs in a season for five of them.

“What an honor. It’s a beautiful night in Tampa, and I finally did it, I got in there,” McGriff said during a video conference conducted shortly after Sun day evening’s announcement. “I’ve been totally blessed my whole life and I con tinue to be blessed. It’s quite an honor to be elected into the Hall of Fame. I want to thank the committee. I know it’s tough deciding who to vote for.”

But in McGriff’s first appearance on an Eras ballot, voters didn’t have diffi culty checking the box next to his name.

Not only was he the first player in history to wallop 30 or more homers for five different clubs, he also became the first player to be the single-season home runs leader in each league since the Dead Ball Era. He smashed 36 for Toronto to top the American League in 1989 and 35 for San Diego in 1992 to pace the National League.

But by the end of the 1990s, those mid-30s totals would be diminished by the cartoonishly contorted numbers that

some sluggers were producing as PEDs ran unchecked. Just six seasons after McGriff’s 35 led the NL, Mark McGwire smashed 70 home runs to establish an MLB single-season record. McGwire hit 65 more to lead the NL in 1999 and Bonds set the current single-season mark with 73 in 2001.

By the time McGriff retired in 2004, with 493 career home runs, the power landscape was in the process of becom ing inextricably altered.

“Over the years, it was about con sistency,” McGriff said when asked Sun day evening about being overshadowed by players suspected of using steroids, treading lightly around the subject. “I put a lot into this game. I worked hard to get to this point, maybe just play one game in the big leagues. I exceeded all expec tations.”

He continued: “You control what you can control, and if you can’t control it you go with the flow. Over the years, you have people coming up asking you about it.”

McGriff, while playing for Toronto, San Diego, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, the Chi cago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodg

ers, also finished with 1,550 RBIs. A lefthanded hitter, he was a five-time All-Star and helped power Atlanta to a World Series title in 1995. He finished in the top 10 in MVP voting five times.

Yet in a decade on the writers’ ballot, he received little traction. He peaked at 39.8% of the vote in 2019, his final year of eligibility. Before that, he had never surpassed 23.9%.

Sometimes, he said, he would be come frustrated because “if I hit 500 home runs, I’m a great player, and if I hit 493, I’m a good player.”

Bonds finished with a record 762 career home runs and seven NL MVP awards, yet remains on the outside of the Hall looking in. He dropped off the writers’ ballot after obtaining 66% of the vote in his final appearance last year and received a lower percentage Sunday in his first appearance in front of the Eras Committee.

After McGriff, Don Mattingly re ceived eight votes, Curt Schilling got sev en and Dale Murphy got six. Albert Belle, Bonds, Clemens and Rafael Palmeiro each received less than four votes but no total was specified for any of the four.

Bonds and Clemens, an ace righthander who finished with 354 victories, seven Cy Young awards and one MVP award, now must wait three years before the Eras Committee cycles back to their period again in 2026. And, theoretically, because of their poor showing in this year’s voting, there is a chance that they could be left off future ballots.

With a career that paralleled Bonds’ in timing, McGriff has frequently been asked about being left behind statisti cally by players connected to cheating, and he was asked Sunday if he thought Bonds belonged in the Hall.

“Honestly, right now, I’m just going to enjoy this evening and we can discuss that,” McGriff said. “I haven’t given it a whole lot of thought.”

Asked if he thought Bonds would ever be elected, McGriff took the dip lomatic route, saying, “That’s up to the voters. Like with myself, it was up to the voters.”

Initially, there were seven Hall of Fame players on the committee but Chipper Jones was a last-minute scratch with the coronavirus and was replaced by Arizona Diamondbacks executive Derrick Hall. Greg Maddux, Jack Mor ris, Ryne Sandberg, Lee Smith, Frank Thomas and Alan Trammell were on the committee, along with seven executives (Paul Beeston, Theo Epstein, Hall, Arte Moreno, Kim Ng, Dave St. Peter and Ken Williams), two media members (LaVelle E. Neal III and Susan Slusser) and a his torian (Steve Hirdt).

“It was awesome to hear I was voted in unanimously,” McGriff said. “Over the years, I’ve run into a lot of ex-players and teammates and they all were like, ‘Aw, Fred, you had a great career, you need to be in that Hall of Fame’ and so forth,” McGriff said. “It’s just one of those things. It’s a great honor.”

McGriff said that he had never been to Cooperstown, New York.

“Not yet,” he said. “Now I can make some plans to go up there.”

McGriff will be inducted at a cer emony July 23. He will be joined by anybody who is elected on the writers’ ballot, the results of which will be an nounced Jan. 24.

England gets a jolt from its youngest player in a rout of Senegal

England was floundering, looking nervous and giving up territory and opportunities to Senegal midway through the first half in Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar. But then the youngest member of its squad made his presence count.

Playing with a freedom and con fidence that seemed to have deserted his more experienced teammates, Jude Bellingham, 19, produced crucial con tributions to two first-half goals that sent England on its way to a 3-0 victory over Senegal on Sunday. The win set up a quar terfinal match with France and a meeting with Kylian Mbappé, who was the break out teenage star of the last World Cup.

Mbappé became a household name when at 19 he exploded onto the global stage at the World Cup in Russia, becom ing the first teenager to score in a World Cup final since Pelé in 1958. Bellingham, a midfielder, is using the sport’s biggest platform to make his mark.

“Jude is a fantastic player — he does everything well,” England’s captain, Harry Kane, said of Bellingham’s perfor mance, during a postgame news confer ence. “I like Jude a lot, a good person, mature for his age and great leadership skills. All I would say is keep working and keep learning.”

England had been at risk of falling behind Senegal, the African champion, when Bellingham made the first of what have now become his customary surges up the field. Seeing an opportunity to transition after Senegal lost the ball, Bell ingham sprinted into space down the left side, received the ball from Kane, and showed calmness to find Jordan Hender son in the center of the area. Henderson, the Liverpool captain and a most unlikely goal scorer here — having scored only twice before in a 12-year career with England’s national team — finished easily before asking the crowd to acclaim the contribution of Bellingham by pointing to the young midfielder as he wheeled away in celebration.

Then, with halftime looming, Bell ingham made an even more impres sive contribution. Finding the ball at his feet just outside England’s penalty area,

he burst upfield, arms pumping, strides lengthening, slaloming past desperate ef forts to halt him by a clutch of Senegal midfielders. Having broken the defen sive line, Bellingham played the ball in to Phil Foden, who immediately found Kane. Kane finally found the back of the net for the first time in this World Cup, a tournament in which England was tied with Spain as the top-scoring team in the group stage.

“As a striker, scoring goals is what you do and one of the best feelings,” Kane said. “I was patient, and thankfully it came today. We have people scoring from all different positions and another great team performance.”

The two-goal difference at half time did not quite match the balance of chances. Senegal appeared the more dangerous of the two teams, forcing Eng land goalkeeper Jordan Pickford into one reflex save and generally causing jitters in the back line. But it was still clear that Senegal was missing the presence of its captain and inspirational striker, Sadio Mané, its only world-class forward.

While the chances came, Senegal’s forwards failed to take advantage of them. That lack of killer instinct was punished and exposed by England doing precisely the opposite, taking advantage of two of the few openings it managed to create.

England showed its ruthlessness 10 minutes into the second half when it end ed the contest with a third score that mir rored the movement involved in its ear lier goals. A fast transition led to the ball finding Foden, and his cross was timed perfectly for Bukayo Saka to flick over Éd ouard Mendy in the Senegal goal.

The goal allowed England’s coach, Gareth Southgate, the luxury of taking players off before sterner challenges. Hav ing combined for the third goal, Foden and Saka were replaced together with 25 minutes to play, their jobs done, and Eng land having overcome what could have been a tricky assignment.

The pairing with Senegal was only the second time that England had met an African opponent in the knockout stages of the World Cup. The last time, against Cameroon in 1990, was a very different

affair and one England was fortunate to navigate, requiring an extra-time penalty by Gary Lineker to escape with a hardfought 3-2 victory.

There was no chance Sunday of re quiring extra time, or of England’s hav ing to fight particularly hard to overcome Senegal in a second half that resembled an exhibition game in its latter stages, the crowd entertaining itself, performing a wave at one point.

For all the struggles of its players on the field, Senegal’s traveling supporters kept up a constant percussive beat to ac company the team, a backdrop that has become a hallmark of the tournament and will be missed with Senegal’s exit.

For England, the victory is another hurdle cleared in its now six-decade quest to replicate its sole World Cup triumph of 1966. The serenity of its progress will boost confidence that Southgate’s team — semifinalists four years ago in Russia — might be in contention for the biggest prize in two weeks.

Whether England reaches the pin nacle may depend on the continued excellence of the youngest member of its ranks. And Southgate was taking no chances. With just under 15 minutes left to play, the assistant referee raised his board, signaling it was time for Belling ham to take his leave.

Without much fuss, Bellingham looked up, applause ringing around the stadium, and jogged off.

“The biggest thing is the mentality,” Southgate said when asked to appraise the contribution made by Bellingham, ex plaining how England had spent the past decade improving how it develops young players like the Borussia Dortmund mid fielder. “The thing that makes the differ ence is the mindset, the drive, the desire to learn and improve, and he has all of that.”

England will face a much tougher examination of its title credentials at the same stadium on Saturday against France and Mbappé. But with Bellingham in its ranks, anything is possible.

Deshaun Watson’s return is met with boos, and a win

Exactly 700 days had passed since Deshaun Wat son last represented an NFL franchise in a regularseason game and, on Sunday, very little was the same since his last start.

Watson took the field at NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the team for which he had played his entire professional career. Only this time, Watson was the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.

And while Watson and his new team, the fran chise that committed a guaranteed $230 million to him in March, spent the week trying to shift the focus to football, the significance of this meeting of two losing teams was not the game itself or the result, a 27-14 Browns win.

Rather, Sunday marked the return of a star quarter back to the NFL’s regular-season stage for the first time since more than two dozen women accused him of as saulting or harassing them in massage appointments. One of the women called his appearance “incredibly painful.”

The game marked the end of the 11-game suspen sion the league issued Watson as punishment for mul tiple violations of its personal conduct policy. The pen alty was the result of those accusations and the much scrutinized NFL disciplinary process that followed.

Watson, 27, steadfastly denied the accusations against him, most recently on Aug. 18, the day he and the NFL agreed to the terms of his discipline, which also included a $5 million fine and required participa tion in a behavioral evaluation and treatment program as a condition of his reinstatement. An NFL spokes person said the jointly selected treatment provider in formed the league and the players union that Watson had “made strides” but instructed him not to talk about his treatment publicly.

Watson was met with a chorus of boos when he stepped to the line of scrimmage to take his first snap, just moments after Texans quarterback Kyle Allen threw an interception on the first play from scrimmage. The play was at first called an incomplete pass, but, after a review, the ball was ruled to have been picked off. The review meant fans’ boos lingered and built as Watson took the field with 14 minutes, 54 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

There was no way of knowing if the boos were the result of Watson’s acrimonious split from the Tex ans after sitting out the 2021 season following a trade demand. Or if they came from attendees voicing their displeasure over the extensive accusations of sexual misconduct. Or both.

What was clear immediately was Watson’s unfamil iarity with commanding an NFL offense, as he missed throws and threw an end zone interception in a game in which the Browns’ defensive and special teams

units scored all three of Cleveland’s touchdowns. Wat son completed 12 of 22 passes for 131 yards, with no touchdowns and a 53.4 passer rating, not a showing that recalled the Pro Bowl-level performances Watson was accustomed to having before his near two-year ab sence from the game.

The Browns made Watson the face of the franchise and signed him to an unprecedented contract based on his ability to win games and distance himself from the accusations.

Two Texas grand juries declined to indict Watson on criminal charges, and Watson settled 23 of the 26 lawsuits filed against him (one case was withdrawn for privacy reasons). While Watson has said his defense lawyers have advised him not to talk about any of the legal proceedings, including the two open lawsuits, his absence for more than half of this NFL season came as a result of a settlement agreement between repre sentatives from his legal team, the players union and the league. A third-party disciplinary officer had deter mined that Watson demonstrated a pattern of conduct that was “predatory” and “more egregious than any be fore reviewed by the NFL,” but issued a shorter suspen sion than the one reached in the settlement.

The silence this week from Watson and the Browns regarding anything besides throws and catches meant that Watson played in front of 66,523 fans in Houston, as well as millions through TV and radio broadcasts, without having publicly addressed his behavior with the massage therapists since August. Watson apolo gized “to all of the women I have impacted in this situa tion” as his NFL discipline was being decided, but later, again asserted his innocence and said he was apologiz

ing because people had been “triggered.”

Watson declined to say Sunday whether he felt re morse for the actions that led to his suspension, saying he has been advised by his legal and clinical team to not answer questions like that.

“Of course, it’s a tough situation, the suspension was tough, but at the same time my main focus was to just try to be 1-0 as a football player today,” he said.

Lauren Baxley, one of the two women with an open lawsuit against Watson, told The New York Times that his return to the field was “incredibly painful to consider.”

“It is difficult to balance my efforts to heal, while being acutely aware that most in the media and sports world will continue to praise his athleticism and ignore his range of assaults against dozens of women,” Baxley wrote in a text message. “Whatever nanoscopic pun ishment he may have fulfilled to the satisfaction of the NFL brings neither healing nor justice to us, nor protec tion for future women in his presence.”

Baxley declined an invitation from Tony Buzbee, the lawyer for most of the women who filed suits against Watson, to attend the game in a suite at NRG Stadium. Buzbee confirmed that around 10 of Watson’s accusers showed up to the game. Baxley did not want to watch Watson’s return, either in person or on TV, but said she hoped the women who attended felt “safe and supported.”

Shortly after Watson requested a trade from the Texans in early 2021, Ashley Solis, a licensed massage therapist, filed the first lawsuit accusing him of lewd behavior in massage appointments. An avalanche of similar accusations followed and Watson was in profes sional and legal peril.

When a first grand jury declined to indict Watson on criminal charges in March 2022 — but before a second grand jury met or he had settled any lawsuits — several NFL teams began courting Watson in the hopes that he would waive his no-trade clause to play for them. The Browns won the bidding war and sent a bevy of draft picks to the Texans, despite not having spoken to any of Watson’s accusers.

The Texans, for their part, settled with 30 wom en who accused Watson of sexual misconduct, after the Times reported that the team provided the venue Watson used for some of the massage appointments and a team representative furnished him with the non disclosure agreement that he used with some massage therapists.

With Sunday’s game, Watson’s return to competi tive football and the public eye began, even as he con tinues to litigate two open lawsuits against him and undergoes league-mandated treatment. Watson must continue to comply with the terms of the program or he could face additional discipline, said NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy.

Answers to the Sudoku and Crossword on page 37 Aries (Mar 21-April 20)

With quick-thinking Mercury angling towards expansive Jupiter, you may wonder if an idea of yours has potential, or if you are taking on more than you can handle. The only way to find out is to make a start and see how you get on. Tackling it step by step might help you develop self-assurance, even if you’re learning as you go. Soon you’ll be glad that you took the chance, Aries.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

You’re good at spotting opportunities, especially if there’s something to be gained. Today’s Mercury/Jupiter angle might coincide with an encounter that sizzles with promise, and the chance of a collaboration. Equally, you might connect with someone who loves adventure and could entice you out of your comfort zone. If you’re in a restless mood, you may go along with it.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

You’ll be ready to consider all options when discussing key matters or negotiating. As you are skilled at liaising, you may feel confident about pushing ahead with a collaboration that could be a game-changer. Encounters can set you thinking about possibilities, and a stirring conversation can have romantic overtones. Don’t spend too much time deciding on a course of action.

Cancer (June 22-July 23)

You may have a lot on your plate, but making time for someone and sharing advice or even just listening, can make them feel better. But it’s not just one way, as this bond could become a source of support for you too. You might need someone you can confide in over coming weeks, and this person may be the one to boost morale and inspire your courageous side, Cancer.

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

A romance could ramp-up a notch, as a buoyant aspect finds you and another talking, and deeply enjoying the conversations you have. It doesn’t matter what your friends say about this, if it feels good to you, keep going, Leo. There’s also news concerning an entrepreneurial venture or a creative idea, as someone may be willing to join forces or support you to get it off the ground.

Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23)

If you can think it, you can do it. At least this is what the cosmos seems to imply. A Mercury aspect encourages you to move beyond any fears by taking baby steps. You may have a chance to reconnect with abilities that you’ve barely scratched the surface of. Neglected something you’re passionate about? Now is the time to embrace it again. It will leave you energized.

Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Keen to zero in on something that gives you the feelgood factor? It could be a self-help book, an online course, or the chance to connect with a mentor or teacher who can ramp-up your belief in yourself. You may need just a little encouragement to boost your resolve. Are you contemplating doing something new? The Mercury/Jupiter angle suggests it could be golden for you, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)

A cash generating idea can work, if your expectations aren’t too high, Scorpio. Your creative and inventive nature is at a peak, so this is a good time to get a side-hustle going. With a focus on easy going Sagittarius, you might spend a lot of your earnings. There’s also a tendency to fritter money away and then regret it. With some careful management you’ll soon be back in control.

Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 21)

An indulgent mood could get the week off to a positive start. Although you might not get much done today Archer, you will enjoy it. There may be a reason to celebrate, and if so, you’ll pull out all the stops. Mind, not everyone will be as happy as you. Someone may even try to put a damper on your mood. Don’t take it personally, and don’t let their vibes get you down either.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 20)

If you’re after instant results, then you could feel it’s not worth taking up an opportunity if the outcome is weeks away. It may well be though! You might have to be patient, but you can find that like a matured wine, an idea that requires careful nurturing could turn out to be one of your best successes. Taking the long view might see you enjoy other spin-offs from this too.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)

It may be expensive, but if you have to pay to join a club or access a membership, you might go ahead regardless of the cost. What you stand to gain over the long-term could be well worth it. Still, it’s just as well to check if you can get something similar at a cheaper rate. It may be that your original offer is irreplaceable, but if there’s something comparable, you’ll have cash to spare.

Pisces (Feb 20-Mar 20)

You may not believe your luck, Pisces. An offer or opportunity could show up that you thought you’d missed out on. Don’t let a complacent mood prevent you from taking advantage of it. If your confidence has dropped recently, this might be just what you need to pick up again. Believe in yourself, and don’t let a fear of failure prevent you from doing something that’s good for you.
