Exit Taxes Won't Save Failing States Authored by Vance Ginn via TheDailyEconomy.org, When a state starts floating an exit tax , it is telling you something more important than any campaign slogan: the people running the place know their model is not working. They may not say it that way. They will call it fairness, responsibility, or making the wealthy “pay what they owe.” But the meaning is the same. If families, entrepreneurs, and investors are leaving, the state can either ask why its policies are pushing them out, or it can try to tax them for escaping. An exit tax chooses punishment over reform. I understand why these proposals resonate with some people. If you are watching wealthy residents relocate while governments still face bills for schools, roads, pensions, and other commitments, it is easy to feel like the people with the most mobility are ducking the tab. That frustration is real. It deserves a serious answer. But an exit tax is not a serious answer. It is a confession that lawmakers would rather cling to a failing fiscal model than fix the spending, regulation, and tax policies that made people want to leave in the first place. That is why the current trend is so revealing. In California , proposals have centered on taxing billionaire net worth, including wealth that often exists on paper rather than in cash. In New York , the push has extended to a new surcharge on high-value second homes in New York City. In Washington , lawmakers have already enacted a “millionaires’ tax.” These policies differ in form, but not in spirit. They all send the same message: if government has made your state too expensive, too hostile, or too unpredictable, it may still try to claim part of your future anyway. The economics are worse than the politics. Supporters talk as if wealth is a pile of idle cash sitting in a vault, just waiting to be skimmed. It is not. Wealth is usually tied up in businesses, shares, property, and future earnings. Taxing net worth or unrealized...

Bird Construction , a Canadian building firm recently named the lead construction partner for a data center in Saskatchewan, is looking to sell bonds for the first time, and aims to raise around C$250 million ($181 million), according to people with knowledge of the matter. The new debt will probably mature in five to seven years, the people said, asking not to be identified as they aren’t authorized to speak publicly on the transaction. The company received an issuer rating of BBB (low) with a stable trend from Morningstar DBRS, the lowest investment grade ranking. BCE Inc., the parent of Canadian telecom company Bell Canada, last week said it had formalized a long-term partnership with Bird to build data centers over multiple years. It also said Bird was lead construction partner for its 300 megawatt data center in Saskatchewan, whose backers also include CoreWeave Inc. Executives at Bird Construction will be speaking with investors in Toronto and Montreal early next week, Bloomberg reported . A spokesperson for the firm didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

franckreporter/iStock via Getty Images A stronger-than-expected U.S. manufacturing PMI offered another sign Thursday that economic growth may be broadening beyond the narrow AI leadership that has defined much of this cycle, according to a Seeking Alpha analyst. Leo Nelissen , Investing Group Leader for Main Street Alpha, said the biggest surprise in the day’s data was the S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI , which pointed to a four-year high in factory sentiment. In his view, that strengthens the case that the economy is showing firmer activity across a wider set of sectors. "To me, this is another sign of broadening economic growth," Nelissen said. "And if today’s positive Iran War headlines last, we could see a bigger market sentiment shift toward cyclical value stocks—and general broadening market strength, which is much-needed." The stock market closed Thursday's session modestly higher after swinging between gains and losses as oil's ( CL1:COM ) rally faded on renewed hopes of a U.S.-Iran peace deal, while traders digested Nvidia’s ( NVDA ) quarterly earnings. The S&P 500 ( SP500 ) was up 0.2%, the Dow ( DJI ) +0.6%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) +0.1%.

American passenger feels 'betrayed' by federal order to stay in hantavirus quarantine toggle caption Dylan Widger/Getty Images Angela Perryman says she trusted federal officials when they flew her and 17 other Americans back to the U.S. after the MV Hondius cruise ship was hit by the deadly hantavirus outbreak. Their stay at the National Quarantine Unit in Nebraska was voluntary, officials publicly stated. In fact, Trump administration officials, clearly sensitive to the post-pandemic backlash against lockdowns and mandates, took pains to avoid even using the word "quarantine." So Perryman says she worked out a plan to leave Omaha and monitor herself for the virus in Florida. But when she and at least one other passenger tried to leave, they were handed a legal order May 18 requiring them to stay until the end of the month, she says. Sponsor Message "I am angry. I feel betrayed," says Perryman, who's 47 and mostly lives in Ecuador. "I'm being imprisoned. It's a nice prison. But this is a prison. Let's be clear: I am being detained against my will." Federal officials did not respond to NPR's questions about Perryman. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has only publicly acknowledged two mandatory quarantine orders and has not named those people. Perryman shared the documents she's received from the government with NPR. It's the first time the federal government has issued a mandatory quarantine order since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and only the second time in about a half century. Public health experts say the country could face similar situations with other outbreaks, including the big Ebola crisis underway right now largely in the Democratic Republic of Congo. "Extremely stressful time" Perryman says she understands the hantavirus is a serious threat. But she doesn't understand why she can't take her own temperature every day and be on the lookout for any signs she's getting sick at home, just like almost two dozen other passengers who had b...
