US dockworkers suspend ports strike until January
Biden noted the need for ports to be open to "ensure the availability of critical supplies" for those hit by Hurricane Helene, which has left more than 200 people dead in the US south-east.
In other words, the situation would leave Biden the ability to enact "emergency powers" due to the severity of the Hurricane and the ongoing relief efforts... and could have seize control from the companies running/owning them (who are all foreign companies at this point). Presidential power to do so in an emergency is his to wield in such, just as it was Bush's when 9/11 happened or Roosevelt's during the Great Coal Strike or Roosevelt for the Railroads at the start of WW2. Better to share the pie with the workers then lose it all/

Nicole Mortillaro of CBC nicely lays out all the things that SpaceX's Starlink is doing to destroy astronomy and LEO.
"how much infrastructure in orbit do we need? How much can we put up there safely? How much can we put up there without having very long-term impacts on the environment?"
And of course, the article include the obligatory "SpaceX did not immediately respond to a CBC request for comment." because SpaceX doesn't think they have to answer to anyone.
