U.S. economy is leading the global recovery from the pandemic - The Washington Post
The robust U.S. economic recovery this year is expected to be good news for factory workers, freight handlers and farmers.
The U.S. ascent ends — at least for now — China's long reign as the principal engine powering the $90 trillion global economy.
Free spending by the Biden administration — coupled with the Federal Reserve's ultralow interest rates — is driving the nascent U.S. boom and lifting other countries, where governments have not responded as aggressively to the pandemic. As Americans spent their $600 government stimulus checks in January on furniture, laptops and clothing, the U.S. imported a record $221 billion worth of goods. And that was before a round of $1,400 checks in March.

The latest evidence arrived Monday with the Institute for Supply Management's news that its March survey for service businesses hit 63.7. That's an all-time high, and it signifies rapid growth and optimism. The only problem is that many businesses say they can't find enough workers or supplies to meet their order books.

If nothing else, it’s refreshing to see the sitcom take up social class as a concern once again. The next step is to come up with something worth saying. (Recent series including “Indebted” on NBC and “Broke” on CBS have run up against this problem.) ABC ’s “ Home Economics ” has a canny central idea and a game cast, and though its first two episodes lack a certain surefootedness, there is potential there.
Economist: All-Star Game relocation has little impact on Coastal Empire, but future of another
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp reacted strongly this weekend to Major League Baseball’s decision to pull a July All-Star Game from Georgia’s capital city.

In a statement , MLB’s baseball commissioner says he made the decision to protect the league’s values and its views on voting rights.
