There are days when the market's moves are single variable.
No doubt. But on an average day, they report something like “ the crop report for frozen orange juice concentrate dropped the Dow 100 points” I find dubious. Did they take the time to interview people, trading firms, etc?  No, they just pick and choose arbitrary causes.

I'm sure there are times when "they" are compelled to write something, but if every business news site features the same "explanation", it's probably reasonable.

Texas House passes bill to legalize short-barrel firearms

Texas lawmakers passed SB 1596, which would legalize short-barrel firearms under state law.
These weapons, often called "sawed-off" shotguns, are already federally legal with restrictions.
The bill now heads to Gov. Greg Abbott, who will decide whether to sign it into law.
TEXAS - The Texas House has passed a bill that expands the types of firearms legally allowed in the state.

Texas lawmakers wrapped up their session around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday after passing Senate Bill 1596.

The bill would decriminalize short-barrel firearms and remove them from the state’s list of illegal weapons, according to the Texas Legislature.

These firearms are already legal under federal law with a background check and a $200 fee.

What is a short-barrel firearm?
Short-barrel firearms are commonly referred to as "sawed-off" shotguns.

Federal law defines them as rifles with barrels shorter than 16 inches or shotguns with barrels shorter than 18 inches.

These weapons are known for their wide projectile spread, which can cause significant damage at close range.

Will there be a biblical exodus from Ohio (State) to Cambridge?

That said, if the aim is to improve the balance of trade, and hurt funding for American universities, rather than to encourage Ohioans to head east, eliminating foreign students is dumb.

yup, let the foreign students fund the universities by printing worthless degrees, let the foreign students and their parents take out the loans and pay the interest to lenders

allowing more American funding of trade schools
