--- The "whah" sound a baby makes is often associated with distress or discomfort, particularly when it's a cry. It can also be a part of the baby's early vocalizations as they experiment with sounds.
However, "whah" can also be part of a more general cry of overstimulation, where the baby is overwhelmed by their environment. It's important to pay attention to the context and other cues to understand what your baby is trying to communicate.--- TODAY, August 7
Recent reports indicate that the Trump administration is preparing to issue an executive order addressing concerns about banks allegedly discriminating against customers for political reasons.
Here's what the available information suggests:
Focus on "debanking": The order specifically aims to combat what some refer to as "debanking," where financial institutions refuse to open or abruptly close accounts for individuals or businesses based on their political views or associations.
Targeting potential violations: A draft of the order, according to some reports, instructs regulators to investigate whether banks have violated existing laws like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, antitrust laws, or consumer protection laws when making account decisions.
Potential penalties: Banks found to be in violation of these laws could face monetary penalties, consent decrees, or other disciplinary measures.
Trump's claims: President
Trump has publicly stated that he believes major banks have discriminated against him and other conservatives, citing instances where he claims JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America closed or refused his accounts.Industry perspective: Some sources within the banking industry suggest that decisions regarding account closures are based on risk-management protocols (including those for anti-money laundering) rather than political bias.
Broader context: This order aligns with other recent actions by the administration to address concerns about potential political bias within the financial sector and to ease certain regulatory requirements for banks.
