📹: In a last effort to ditch LAPD officers, a suspect tried to flee on foot and eventually just hid behind a car.
“He's trying to hide but doing a very poor job of it”, a newscaster reporting from a helicopter chuckled.
But it was apparently good enough to evade the cops, who couldn’t spot the man until the very last moment.

⚖ US ends asylum restrictions for children traveling alone
Unaccompanied child migrants trying to enter the United States will no longer be denied a chance to seek asylum under new guidance announced by U.S. health authorities.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in announcing the change late Friday night, said “that expulsion of unaccompanied noncitizen children is not warranted to protect the public health.”
Testing and other preventive measures allow children traveling alone to be released to sponsors in the United States, the CDC said. Sponsors are typically family or other close relatives.
Migrants have been expelled more than 1.6 million times under Title 42, named for a 1944 public health law. Biden has kept the order in place but exempted unaccompanied children during his first days in office.

Owner of Cog Railway proposes lodging on Mount Washington
The owner of a historic railway that runs up Mount Washington is proposing to build upscale accommodations and a restaurant near the summit of New Hampshire’s highest peak. Mount Washington Cog Railway owner Wayne Presby said the nearly $14 million project would station 18 rail cars at an elevation around 5,800 feet (1,670 meters) from mid May through mid October.
Mount Washington has been attracting more tourists in New Hampshire’s North Country since the loss of the Old Man of the Mountain, a granite profile and state symbol that crumbled in 2003. The mountain draws over 300,000 visitors a year.
The region, which has among the state’s lowest median income, is heavily reliant on tourism. The train brings 150,000 people each season up to the summit.

🛢 Oil, sanctions, jets: How Congress pushes Biden on Ukraine
At first, the White House resisted calls from Congress to ban Russian oil imports to the US, but then, it did just that.
The administration earlier hit the brakes on legislation that would have revoked Russia’s favored-nation trade status with the US, but then US President Joe Biden announced the move to remove Russia from the trade group on Friday. The administration persuaded senators to hold off on imposing Russian sanctions, before slapping crippling sanctions itself. It rejected efforts in Congress to stop the Nord Stream 2 energy pipeline, then led the allies in halting it.
More than 40 Republican senators signed onto a letter unsuccessfully demanding that Biden reverse course after the Pentagon rejected an offer from NATO-member Poland to transfer Soviet-era MiG fighter jets to Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy also unsuccessfully pleaded with the US last weekend for NATO to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

🚙 Uber is raising rates for rides and UberEats orders, with a new fuel surcharge designed to offset skyrocketing gas prices
Your next Uber trip or UberEats order will soon cost a bit more. The extra fees will go into effect on March 16. Based on location, the surcharge for an Uber trip is either 45 or 55 cents, while for an UberEats order, it's either 35 or 45 cents.
The adjustment comes as gas prices have skyrocketed in recent days thanks to an oil market disruption and a ban by the US on imported Russian oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal.

💵 Workers are quitting because they want higher wages. Employers are starting to listen.
For months, a common refrain by employers who offer subpar pay has been that ‘nobody wants to work’. Over 4 million Americans have been quitting low- or poorly-paying jobs every month, for eight months. It's a trend that's seen little sign of slowing down.
The quit rate for leisure and hospitality, historically one of the lowest-paying sectors in the US economy, was 5.6% in January 2022, higher than its pre-pandemic rate of 3.9% in February 2020.
Walk offs are particularly concentrated in low-wage industries, with a record of almost one million restaurant and hotel workers quitting in November 2021. Quitting workers say they're leaving over low pay and the inability to advance.

🚫 Disney suspends all political donations in Florida in the wake of ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill
Disney announced that it would pause all political donations in Florida in the wake of a controversial state bill that restricts discussion of LGBTQ issues in public schools.
Over the last few weeks, the company had received criticism for remaining silent about the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which passed in the state Senate this week and is expected to be signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
The company has given nearly $300,000 to backers of the Florida bill in the last two years. More than 150,000 visitors come to Orlando’s Walt Disney World during what are known as annual “gay days.”
