In a 9-0 ruling authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the justices overturned a lower court decision that had blocked the FCC’s repeal of some media ownership regulations in 2017 for failing to consider the effects on ownership by racial minorities and women. Critics of the industry have said further consolidation could limit media choices for consumers.

I am disappointed (to say the least) in Gov. Kate Brown and the Oregon Health Authority in downgrading the priority of seniors to receive the COVID-19 vaccines from the federal recommendations.
And then there is the chaos with the OHA website and the lack of planning that went into the mechanisms for distributing the vaccines in Oregon.
Other states are already vaccinating seniors but Oregon apparently is playing favorite to those pushing for the schools to re-open. That Oregon s seniors are being reduced in status and endangered by the delay seems an awful lot like age discrimination.

This claim comes from analyst firm Technology Business Research (TBR), which stated in a report that if the bid is successful, the tech giant would likely expand its global service delivery capabilities.
