BitLicense Blowback No Surprise to NYDFS Officials
Just as it seemed like the dust was settling around the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) BitLicense regulations released last week, Erik Voorhees of ShapeShift.io raised new criticisms of the NYDFS, calling them “Orwellian” and making comparisons to North Korea. NYDFS’s Matt Anderson was not surprised, telling Bitcoin Magazine: “We always recognized that there is going to be some part of this community that is against even pretty standard financial regulatory oversight measures, such as anti-money laundering controls and other consumer protections. That said, one digital currency company has already received a license from NYDFS and a number of others have stated they intend to seek BitLicenses shortly.” Although ShapeShift.io is a Switzerland-based exchange, it has cut off service to it’s New York State customers […]

MAP: What Does Trade Adjustment Assistance Mean for Workers in Your State?
What is Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and why should you care if Congress fails to reauthorize it?
Ask Jessica Kinkade.
Jessica, a Eugene, Oregon native, worked in the stockroom managing inventory, pulling work orders, and performing quality control. After four years of employment, she was laid off due to foreign competition. She called the TAA program, was among a group of workers certified as eligible to apply for assistance, and was soon determined eligible for TAA benefits and services.
“The team I am now a part of is beyond helpful,” she said. “I would not be where I am now if it weren’t for the incredible opportunity I had through TAA. I am a better woman, mother, wife, and employee because of this experience!”
For more than 40 years, TAA has helped support U.S. workers who are adversely affected by globalization and trade by providing job training support, career counseling, wage supplements for older workers, job search and reallocation allowances, and income support for workers in training programs.
It has served as a lifeline for more than 2.2 million workers across all 50 states. In just the past six years, the TAA program has made income support and job training benefits available to hundreds of thousands of American workers.
Check out the map below from the Department of Labor to see how many workers like Jessica have been certified to receive job training and other TAA benefits since October 2009 in each state:
