<p>A small <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/business" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">business</a> owner’s decision to withhold a Michelin-starred <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/restaurants" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">restaurant</a>‘s laundry over unpaid invoices has struck a chord with <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/online" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">online</a> readers, with many supporting his direct action.</p>
<p>The owner, who runs a pickup and delivery laundry service in a major <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/city" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">city</a>, explained on <a rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge/comments/1ibm1xq/you_dont_want_to_pay_ill_hold_your_laundry_hostage/" target="_blank" class="multivariate">Reddit</a> this week that they had a contract with a two-star Michelin restaurant, handling their tablecloths and napkins.</p>
<p>Despite offering competitive rates, the restaurant’s <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/finance" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">finance</a> manager, identified as “M,” routinely attempted to renegotiate prices after services were completed.</p>
<h3>Decisive Move</h3>
<p>While the logistics manager, “A,” appreciated the <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/company" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">company</a>‘s reliability, M continuously withheld payments, pressuring the laundry business to accept lower amounts.</p>
<p>After months of delayed payments, the restaurant owed the business $1,700—<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/money" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">money</a> the owner could not afford to lose.</p>
<p>Frustrated with ongoing disputes, he and his business partner made a decisive move: They withheld the restaurant’s clean and pressed laundry until full payment was made.</p>

<p>“I told A that M could stuff it,” original poster (OP) Altruistic-Slide-512 declared.</p>
<p>“We have all your laundry—it’s all pressed and ready. It’s Monday. You’re planning to open again on Tuesday.</p>
<p>“When you pay us in full for this order and everything that you owe us for previous orders IN <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/cash" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">CASH</a>, you’ll get your laundry back.”</p>
<p>Rather than fight the demand, A took the matter to the restaurant’s other owners, who swiftly agreed to pay. The head <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/chefs" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">chef</a>, rather than M, met with the laundry service and handed over a check, which successfully cleared.</p>
<p>Although A later proposed continuing the business <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/relationships" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">relationship</a> under better terms, the OP declined, relieved to move on from the ordeal.</p>
<figure class="fullCode">
</figure>
<h3>‘Good for you!’</h3>
<p>Many <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/reddit" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">Reddit</a> users praised the owner’s strategy, pointing out that small <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/businesses" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">businesses</a> are often put in impossible situations when large clients refuse to pay on time.</p>
<p>One user commented, “If they can charge $400 a plate, they can pay their invoices. Good for you!”</p>
<p>Another added, “People love to squeeze the little guy because they think they can get away with it. You made the right call.”</p>
<p>The situation reflects broader concerns faced by small business owners, particularly regarding unpaid invoices.</p>
<p>According to <em><a rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/7957-good-bad-owning-business.html" target="_blank" class="multivariate">Business News Daily</a></em>, cash flow issues are one of the leading reasons small businesses struggle or fail. Late payments from clients can create huge financial strain, forcing owners to make tough decisions about how to recover lost funds.</p>
<figure class="block block-ibtg-article fA" data-gtm-category="Related In-Text A" data-gtm-action="Click">
</figure>
<p><em><a href="https://www.newsweek.com/its-time-small-businesses-act-like-big-businesses-1771322" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">Newsweek</a></em> has reported that small businesses often hesitate to take strong measures against larger clients due to fear of losing future <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/work" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">work</a>. However, experts argue that small businesses should take a firmer stance, just as larger <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/corporations" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">corporations</a> would.</p>
<p>“You have to protect your bottom line,” a financial expert told <em><a href="https://www.newsweek.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="multivariate">Newsweek.</a></em></p>
<p>“If a client doesn’t pay, they’re not really a client.”</p>
<p>While some might argue that holding a customer’s property until payment is received is extreme, many small business owners see it as a necessary action when dealing with repeated non-payment.</p>
<h3>‘No plan B’</h3>
<p>The laundry service owner expressed, “No regrets!”, about his approach, emphasizing that businesses relying on essential services should respect the work that keeps them running.</p>
<p>“Don’t try to stiff a small business that stands between you and setting tables for $20,000 worth of seatings in your fancy restaurant when you have no plan B,” the OP summed up.</p>

<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">The company is the flagship subsidiary of South Korean giant Samsung Group, by far the largest of the family-controlled conglomerates that dominate Asia’s fourth-largest economy.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">The announcement comes after the world’s largest memory-chip maker acknowledged in October it was facing a “crisis” and that questions had arisen about its “fundamental technological competitiveness and the future of the company”.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Operating profit from the October to December period was 6.5 trillion won (S$6.1 billion), up from 2.82 trillion won a year earlier, Samsung said in a regulatory filing.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Sales rose 11.8 per cent to 75.78 trillion won, while net income of 7.75 trillion won was up 22.2 per cent from a year earlier.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Net profit exceeded market expectations, according to the Yonhap News Agency, which cited its own financial data firm.</p>

<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Samsung said Friday this was due to “soft market conditions especially for IT products, and an increase in expenditures including R&D.”</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“In the first quarter of 2025… overall earnings improvement may be limited due to weakness in the semiconductors business,” it said.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">US tech giant Nvidia, whose semiconductors power the AI industry, has been relying on SK hynix, Samsung’s South Korean rival, as its main supplier of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips for its artificial intelligence graphics processing units (GPUs).</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Samsung has been seen as struggling to meet Nvidia’s requirements.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Its technology leadership “in the semiconductor market has been eroded over the last few years”, Gloria Tsuen, a Moody’s Ratings vice-president and senior credit officer, told AFP.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“The rapidly increasing demand for AI chips also heightens the technological difficulty in developing new, custom-made chips for customers in a timely manner,” she added.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Neil Shah of Counterpoint Research said the company’s “conservative” moves to focus on costs relative to more challenging customer demands have been “key factors for the headwinds”.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“Samsung lost first wave of semiconductor AI boom cycle to rivals SK hynix with HBM in AI servers and now is being challenged by Micron for DRAM in AI smartphones and PCs, especially in its own latest Galaxy S25 series flagships,” he said.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">But Bloomberg on Friday reported Samsung has obtained approval to supply a “version of its fifth-generation high-bandwidth memory chips” to Nvidia, citing people familiar with the matter.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component"><b class="font-bold">Blessing in disguise? </b></p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">China’s startup DeepSeek recently unveiled its R1 chatbot that has apparently shown the ability to match the capacity of US AI pace-setters for a fraction of the investments made by American companies.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">The Chinese startup has said it used less-advanced H800 chips – permitted for export to China until late 2023 – to power its large learning model.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">The news hammered tech firms Monday, with Nvidia collapsing almost 17 per cent and wiping almost US$600 billion from its market capitalisation – a record single-day loss for a publicly traded company.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Tuesday saw a tech rebound, with Nvidia surging 8.8 per cent, but DeepSeek’s arrival has still raised questions about whether the vast sums invested in AI in the past few years have been overdone.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“While Samsung faces fundamental technology headwinds, DeepSeek’s claims have challenged the fundamental economics and investments for ongoing AI waves,” Counterpoint’s Shah said.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“This ‘frugal innovation’ could potentially slow down or stretch the hundreds of billions of dollars in AI infrastructure investments over the years,” he said.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“So, this could be a ‘blessing in disguise’ for Samsung, allowing them to take the time needed to perfect their solution or to lower costs,” he added.</p>
<p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Shares in Samsung were down 2.42 per cent in early trade in Seoul. AFP</p>

<div data-testid="companionColumn-0">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">When Donald J. Trump sued CBS for $10 billion days before the 2024 election, accusing the company of deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, many legal experts dismissed the litigation as a far-fetched attempt to punish an out-of-favor news outlet.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Now Mr. Trump is back in the White House, and many executives at CBS’s parent company, Paramount, believe that settling the lawsuit would increase the odds that the Trump administration does not block or delay their planned multibillion-dollar merger with another company, according to several people with knowledge of the matter.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Settlement discussions between representatives of Paramount and Mr. Trump are now underway, according to three people with knowledge of the talks. There is no assurance, though, that they will result in a deal, and it is unclear what the terms of any such deal might include.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Shari Redstone, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, strongly supports the effort to settle, according to two people with knowledge of her thinking. Ms. Redstone stands to clear billions of dollars on the sale of Paramount, the media empire founded by her father Sumner Redstone, in a deal with Skydance, an entertainment company backed by the billionaire Larry Ellison and run by his son David.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-1">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">A settlement would be an extraordinary concession by a major U.S. media company to a sitting president, especially in a case in which there is no evidence that the network got facts wrong or damaged the plaintiff’s reputation.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">It could also cause an uproar within CBS News and among the “60 Minutes” staff. Journalists at the network have expressed deep concern about the notion of their parent company settling litigation that they consider tantamount to a politician’s standard-issue gripes about a news organization’s editorial judgment, according to several people familiar with internal discussions.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Edward Paltzik, Mr. Trump’s lawyer on the case, wrote in a statement on Thursday: “Real accountability for CBS and Paramount will ensure that the president is compensated for the harm done to him, and will deter the Fake News from further distorting the facts to advance a partisan agenda. President Trump looks forward to seeing this case through to a just conclusion.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">During the “60 Minutes” interview at the center of the lawsuit, which aired in October, the CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Ms. Harris a question about the conflict in the Middle East.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In a preview of the interview that aired on “Face the Nation,” CBS’s Sunday morning show, Ms. Harris was shown giving a different answer than the one she gave in the version of the interview that was broadcast the next evening on “60 Minutes.”</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-2">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Trump’s team accused “60 Minutes” of selecting a more coherent quote from Ms. Harris for the prime-time telecast in order to boost her candidacy. CBS News said that Ms. Harris had given one lengthy answer to Mr. Whitaker’s question, and that the network followed standard journalistic practice by airing a different portion of her answer in prime-time<strong class="css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10"> </strong>because of time constraints.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“The interview was not doctored,” CBS News said <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-statement-from-60-minutes/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">in a statement</a> in October, adding that it “did not hide any part of” Ms. Harris’s answer. At the time, the network described Mr. Trump’s lawsuit as “completely without merit.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Trump’s legal complaint relied on a largely untested interpretation of a Texas law that prohibits deceptive trade practices in things like marketing products to consumers. Among other objections to the lawsuit, CBS lawyers have noted that Mr. Trump’s standing to bring the suit in Texas was tenuous at best.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Regardless of the lawsuit’s merit, Mr. Trump’s administration wields leverage. Because Paramount owns broadcasting licenses, it needs the blessing of the Federal Communications Commission to complete its planned merger with Skydance.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">People inside Paramount have been expecting the F.C.C., which is now led by a Trump appointee, Brendan Carr, to request that CBS News hand over an unedited transcript of its interview with Ms. Harris, according to people with knowledge of the plans. CBS had refused previous requests from Mr. Trump’s lawyers to release the transcript.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-3">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Carr has said that the commission would<strong class="css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10"> </strong>probably look into the “60 Minutes” interview as part of its review of the Paramount<strong class="css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10"> </strong>merger.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Trump’s demonization of the news media is a centerpiece of his political rise, and he has repeatedly clashed with “60 Minutes,” which is the country’s most popular television news show. He declined to be interviewed by the program during last year’s presidential race. In 2020, Mr. Trump <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/20/us/politics/trump-lesley-stahl-60-minutes.html" title="">cut short</a> an interview with Lesley Stahl after becoming irritated with her questions; his campaign then <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/business/media/trump-pence-lesley-stahl-60-minutes.html" title="">posted unfiltered footage</a> from the interview online.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In recent months, “60 Minutes” has also faced scrutiny from Ms. Redstone herself, who complained to CBS executives about <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/video/us-gaza-policy-60-minutes-video-2025-01-12/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a story</a> featuring State Department employees who expressed misgivings about the Biden administration’s handling of the war between Israel and Hamas, according to two people familiar with the matter. One day after the segment aired, CBS News installed a longtime producer, Susan Zirinsky, as an interim executive editor overseeing journalistic standards and practices.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The Wall Street Journal <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/cbs-owner-discusses-settling-trump-suit-with-merger-review-on-tap-a5916925" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">earlier reported</a> that Paramount executives were discussing a possible settlement internally. If the company reaches such a deal, it would be at least the third major company in recent weeks to settle a lawsuit brought by Mr. Trump.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Last month, ABC News <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/business/media/trump-abc-settlement.html" title="">paid $15 million</a> to resolve Mr. Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the network and its anchor George Stephanopoulos, who had imprecisely said that the president had been found “liable for rape” in a civil trial in New York. (In fact, Mr. Trump had been found liable for sexual abuse.)</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">And on Wednesday, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said it had <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/technology/meta-trump-lawsuit-settlement.html" title="">agreed to</a> a $25 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit that Mr. Trump filed after the social networks suspended his accounts in 2021.</p>

<p>Brasier, 37, went 1-0 with a 3.54 ERA in 29 appearances last season — a good season by most standards, but not good enough to hold a job in the Dodgers’ upgraded bullpen.</p>
<p>By cutting Brasier, the Dodgers gained a spot on their 40-man roster and officially announced the signing of Yates, who had 33 saves last season for the Texas Rangers.</p>

<p>Here’s the deal pitched by Reuter that would send Fedde to the Braves:</p>
<ul>
<li>Atlanta Braves receive: RHP Erick Fedde</li>
<li>St. Louis Cardinals receive: RHP Bryce Elder</li>
</ul>
<p>“Right-hander Erick Fedde returned from a wildly successful stint in the KBO last season on a two-year, $15 million deal with the Chicago White Sox, and he pitched well enough to be an in-demand trade chip, eventually landing in St. Louis on his way to posting a 3.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 154 strikeouts in 177.1 innings,” Reuter wrote. “With a team-friendly $7.5 million salary, he is a logical target for any team looking to add a quality arm to the middle of the rotation.</p>
<p>“The Atlanta Braves could opt to rely on some combination of Grant Holmes, Ian Anderson, AJ Smith-Shawver, Hurston Waldrep, Bryce Elder, Dylan Dodd, and Davis Daniel to fill the holes in the rotation created by the departures of Max Fried and Charlie Morton.”</p>
<p>The Braves need stability in their starting rotation more than anything. While Fedde is still a bit of a question mark, he’s much more of a sure thing than Elder is.</p>
<p>Elder pitched himself out of Atlanta with his performance in 2024. A career reset with a rebuilding team like the Cardinals would be best for the young righty.</p>
<p>This is the kind of trade that pushes both teams in the direction they’re trying to go.</p>

<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Doug Burgum, a promoter of oil and gas, was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday to lead the Interior Department, a role in which he will oversee drilling and mining policies on federal lands and waters.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The 79-18 vote for Mr. Burgum puts him in charge of nearly 500 million acres of public land, 1.7 billion acres of offshore waters, and more than 70,000 employees across the country tasked with protecting wildlife and endangered species, managing national parks and maintaining tribal lands. </p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">He is expected to be a key player to implement President Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” agenda that calls for making it easier and cheaper for oil companies to operate, and loosening protections for wildlife as well as easing limits on air and water pollution.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In addition to leading the Interior Department, Mr. Burgum is also to run a White House council charged with encouraging more oil and gas development. The role of the council is still undefined but it is expected to help meet Mr. Trump’s goal of selling more American oil and gas to Europe and Asia.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-1">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">During the presidential campaign, Mr. Burgum acted as a conduit between Mr. Trump and the oil and gas industry. He helped gather fossil fuel executives at Mar-a-Lago for a now-famous dinner, during which Mr. Trump suggested that industry leaders <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/09/climate/trump-oil-gas-mar-a-lago.html" title="">raise $1 billion for his campaign</a>. He told the executives they would save far more than that in tax breaks and legal fees after he eliminated climate policies, according to several attendees who requested anonymity to discuss the private event.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Burgum’s role and his close ties to oil billionaires, including Harold Hamm, the founder of oil giant Continental Resources, drew criticism from many Democrats.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In written responses to lawmakers, Mr. Burgum sidestepped a question from Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, about whether he played a role in meetings between oil executives and Mr. Trump during the campaign where both public policy and campaign contributions were discussed. Mr. Burgum wrote that Mr. Trump’s “energy dominance message is consistent regardless of venue.”</p>

<div data-testid="companionColumn-2">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Republicans expressed relief that Mr. Burgum would reverse policies of the Biden administration that were designed to reduce drilling and mining while increasing conservation.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-3">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah and chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, accused the Biden administration and former Secretary Deb Haaland of “throttling” fossil fuels.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“Governor Doug Burgum understands what Secretary Haaland apparently forgot, that abundant affordable energy is a fundamental pillar of our national security,” he said.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Several Democrats said Mr. Burgum’s vision for unleashed fossil fuels threatens the nation.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“The Trump administration’s climate and energy policies are not a mystery; it is to exacerbate the climate crisis,” said Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, who spoke against Mr. Burgum yet voted for him. </p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Kierán Suckling, executive director at the Center for Biological Diversity, was unsparing in his words for Democrats. “It’s alarming that so many Senate Democrats were duped into voting for an oligarch who is now charged with stewarding the nation’s public lands and wildlife,” he said. “If Democrats want to know why so many people are disillusioned, they need to look no further than this vote.” </p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">A multimillionaire former Microsoft executive who served two terms as governor of North Dakota, Mr. Burgum ran briefly for the White House before dropping out of the race to endorse Mr. Trump and become his adviser on energy issues.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-4">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">During his confirmation hearing Mr. Burgum said he viewed America’s public lands and waters as part of the country’s financial “balance sheet,” with potentially trillions of dollars worth of oil, gas and minerals waiting to be extracted beneath the surface.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“We have all this debt,” Mr. Burgum said. But “we never talk about the assets,” he said. “It’s our responsibility to get a return for the American people.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“Not every acre of federal land is a national park or a wilderness area,” Mr. Burgum said, adding, “Some of those areas we have to absolutely protect for their precious stuff, but the rest of it, this is America’s balance sheet.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Burgum<span class="css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0"> </span>declared that any curbs on energy production posed a national security threat and endorsed Mr. Trump’s vision of “energy dominance,” a phrase that is shorthand for more fossil fuel production.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">He also insisted that the United States was in the midst of an energy crisis, even as it is <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61545" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">producing</a> more oil than any nation at any time in history and is the world’s leading exporter of liquefied natural gas.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-5">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Burgum said he would pursue an “all of the above” strategy but also said he would cut incentives for what he called “intermittent” power projects, referring to renewable energy like wind and solar power.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">He said there has been too much so-called “intermittent” power built in recent years and not enough baseload, referring to gas or coal that can be stored and burned to produce electricity.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Emissions from the burning of fossil fuels produced on federal lands and waters <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2024/5103/sir20245103.pdf" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">account for nearly 22 percent</a> of U.S. greenhouse gases. </p>
