President Joe Biden announced a federal vaccine mandate calling on all businesses with 100 or more employees to require vaccines or weekly testing for workers. Federal workers and contractors will also be required to be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing. Some academics praised the move as essential for creating safe work environments, however it remains unclear how weekly workplace testing will be financed particularly as the supply of coronavirus tests has fluctuated.

Rutledge cited further port closures and labor shortages as catalysts for more supply chain troubles, but said growth will be net positive.

@SeanPMeans: I went long on this @pattonoswalt cancellation announcement, because the way Utah law keeps @uutah venues from setting COVID-19 proof-of-vaccination requirements is interesting (and a little complicated).
