He whakahaere pāpāho kore-moni a ProPublica e arotahi ana ki te tirotiro i ngā mahi tukino a te mana. Waitohu mai kia whiwhi tuatahi koe i ā mātou kōrero nui.
Kei te ripoata tonu mātou. He kōrero āu mō te whakaurunga o ngā hua kāore i whakaurua ki te rārangi whakawātea utu? Ka taea e koe te whakapā atu ki a Robert Faturechi o Signal i te 213-271-7217.
Whai muri i te panuitanga a te Perehitini Donald Trump i ngā taake hou i te tīmatanga o tēnei marama, i tukuna e te Whare White tētahi rārangi o ngā hua neke atu i te 1,000 ka whakawāteatia i ngā taake.
Ko tētahi o ngā rauemi kei roto i te rārangi ko te polyethylene terephthalate, e mōhiotia whānuitia ana ko te kapia PET, he kirihou wera e whakamahia ana hei hanga pounamu kirihou.
Kāore i te mārama he aha i whakawāteatia ai te kamupene i ngā whiu, ā, kāore hoki ngā āpiha o te umanga i te mōhio he aha te take o ngā whiu.
Engari ko tana kōwhiringa he wikitoria mō te kamupene pounamu Coca-Cola, a Reyes Holdings, tētahi o ngā kamupene tūmataiti nui rawa atu i te US, nō ngā tuakana tokorua kua koha miriona tāra ki ngā kaupapa Republican. Nō nā tata nei i utua e te kamupene tētahi umanga tautoko e piri tata ana ki te whakahaerenga a Trump hei tiaki i ana taripa, e ai ki ngā rekoata.
Kāore i te mārama mēnā i whai wāhi te mahi tautoko a te kamupene ki te tono whakawātea. Kāore a Reyes Holdings me āna kaitautoko i whakautu wawe ki ngā pātai a ProPublica. I whakakahoretia hoki e te Whare White te tuku kōrero, engari i kī ētahi kaitautoko o te umanga i whakakahoretia e te kāwanatanga te tono whakawātea.
Ko te whakaurunga o ngā kapia ki te rārangi, kāore i whakamāramatia, e whakaatu ana i te pōuri o te tukanga whakatakoto tariff a te kāwanatanga o Amerika. Kei te pōuri tonu ngā kaipupuri matua mō te take e pāngia ai ētahi hua e ngā tariff, ā, ko ētahi kāore. Kāore he whakamārama mārama mō ngā huringa o ngā reiti tariff. Kua whakaratohia e ngā āpiha whakahaere he kōrero taupatupatu mō ngā tariff, kua whakakahore noa rānei ki te whakautu i ngā pātai.
Nā te kore o te māramatanga i roto i te tukanga kua ara ake ai ngā āwangawanga i waenga i ngā tohunga tauhokohoko, tera pea ka whiwhi ngā kamupene e hono ana ki te ao tōrangapū i ngā whakawāteatanga taake i roto i ngā tatau kati.
"He pirau pea, engari he koretake anō hoki," te kī a tētahi kaitautoko e mahi ana i ngā kaupapa here utu mō te whakaurunga o te kapia PET ki ngā utu. "He pono, i tino tere rawa te mahi, kāore au i te mōhio ko wai i haere ki te Whare White ki te kōrero mō tēnei rārangi ki te katoa."
I te wā o te whakahaerenga tuatahi a Trump, i whai mana te tukanga tono mō ngā whakawāteatanga tāke. E rau mano ngā tono a ngā kamupene, me te tautohe me whakawātea ā rātou hua i ngā tāke. I whakapuakina ngā tono ki te marea kia taea ai te tirotiro tata atu i ngā tikanga o te tukanga whakatakoto tāke. Nā tēnei māramatanga i āhei ai ngā tohunga mātauranga ki te tātari i ngā mano tini tono me te whakatau ko ngā kaituku tātai tōrangapū Republican te hunga e nui ake te tūponotanga ki te whiwhi whakawāteatanga.
I te wā tuarua o Trump, i tēnei wā tonu, kāore he tukanga whaimana mō te tono whakahekenga utu tāke. Kei te mahi ngā kaiwhakahaere ahumahi me ngā kaitautoko i muri i ngā tatau kati. I te wiki kua taha ake nei, i kī te poari ētita o te Wall Street Journal ko te "pōuri o te tukanga" he rite ki te "moemoeā mai i te repo o Washington."
Mā te whakahau a te kāwanatanga e whakapuaki mana ana i ngā tāke hou a Trump ka pāngia te nuinga o ngā whenua e te tāke turanga 10%, me ngā whakawāteatanga e whakamārama whānuitia ana ko ngā hua i roto i ngā rāngai rongoā, haurua-ira, ngahere, parahi, kohuke nui, me te pūngao. Kei roto i tētahi rārangi e whakaatu ana i ngā hua motuhake ka whakawāteatia.
Heoi, i roto i tētahi arotake a ProPublica i te rārangi, i kitea he maha ngā tūemi kāore i uru ki ēnei kāwai whānui, kāore rānei i uru ki te katoa, ā, ko ētahi o ngā tūemi i uru ki ēnei kāwai kāore i tukuna.
Hei tauira, ko te rārangi whakawātea o te Whare White e kapi ana i te nuinga o ngā momo asbestos, kāore i te kiia he kohuke tino nui, ā, te āhua nei kāore e taka ki roto i tētahi o ngā kāwai whakawātea. Ko te kohuke whakaputa mate pukupuku e kiia ana he mea iti ki te haumarutanga ā-motu, ki te ōhanga rānei o Amerika engari kei te whakamahia tonutia hei hanga chlorine, engari i aukatia e te Tari Tiaki Taiao a te whakahaerenga Biden te kawemai o ngā rauemi i te tau kua hipa. Kua tohu te whakahaerenga Trump tera pea ka whakakorea e ia ētahi o ngā here o te wā o Biden.
I kī te kaikorero mō te American Chemistry Council, he rōpū ahumahi i whakahē i te aukati i mua nā te mea ka pā kino ki te umanga chlorine, kāore te rōpū i tautoko kia kore te asbestos e utua i ngā utu, ā, kāore hoki i te mōhio he aha i whakaurua ai. (Kāore hoki ngā kamupene chlorine nui e rua i whakaatu i roto i ā rātou puka whakaaturanga i tautoko rātou kia utua ngā utu.)
Ko ētahi atu o ngā mea kei te rārangi kāore i te whakawāteatia engari he iti ake te mōrearea ko te korara, ngā angaanga, me ngā wheua kūtere (ngā wāhanga o te kūtere ka taea te whakamahi hei tāpiringa kai mā ngā mōkai).
Kāore hoki te kapia PET e taka ki roto i tētahi o ngā kāwai whakawātea. E ai ki ngā tohunga, e whakaaro ana te kāwanatanga he hua pūngao tēnei nā te mea i ahu mai ōna kai i te hinu. Engari kāore i roto i tēnei ngā hua kē atu e tutuki ana i ngā paerewa iti.
"I miharo mātou pērā i te katoa," te kī a Ralph Wasami, te kaiwhakahaere matua o te PET Resin Association, he rōpū hokohoko mō te umanga PET. I kī ia kāore te kapia e taka ki te wāhanga whakawātea mēnā kāore te takai mō aua hua e whakaurua.
E whakaatu ana ngā tuhinga i te hauwhā tuawhā o te tau kua hipa, i te wā i toa ai a Trump i te pōtitanga, i utua e te kamupene pounamu Coca-Cola a Reyes Holdings a Ballard Partners ki te tautoko i ngā taripa. I te hauwhā tuatahi o tēnei tau, i te wā i whakatūria ai a Trump, e whakaatu ana ngā tuhinga i tīmata a Ballard ki te tautoko i te Tari Tauhokohoko, e whakatakoto ana i ngā kaupapa here hokohoko, mō ngā taripa.
Kua noho te umanga hei wāhi rongonui mā ngā kamupene e hiahia ana ki te mahi tahi me te whakahaere a Trump. Kua tautoko i te kamupene a Trump, te Trump Organization, ā, kei roto i ana kaimahi ngā āpiha whakahaere matua pērā i te Roia Matua a Pam Bondi me te Tumuaki o ngā Kaimahi a Susie Wiles. Ko te kaiwhakaū o te umanga, a Brian Ballard, he tangata kohi moni nui mō Trump, ā, i kīia e Politico ko "te kaiāwhina tino whai mana i Washington a Trump." Ko ia tētahi o ngā kaiāwhina tokorua i te umanga i tautoko i ngā taripa mō Reyes Holdings, e ai ki ngā tuhinga whakaaturanga ā-motu.
He hononga tata anō hoki tō Chris rāua ko Jude Reyes, ngā teina pirionaire kei muri i a Reyes Holdings, ki te ao tōrangapū. E whakaatu ana ngā tuhinga whakaaturanga pūtea kaupapa here ahakoa kua koha rāua ki ētahi kaitono Temokarata, ko te nuinga o ā rāua koha tōrangapū i riro ki ngā mema o te Rōpū Republican. Whai muri i te wikitoria tuatahi o Trump, i karangatia a Chris Reyes ki Mar-a-Lago kia tūtaki ki a Trump.
Ehara i te mea he painga anake te whakawāteatanga o te kapia PET mō Reyes Holdings, engari he painga anō hoki mō ētahi atu kamupene e hoko ana i te kapia hei hanga pounamu, tae atu ki ngā kamupene inu e whakamahi ana. I te tīmatanga o tēnei tau, i kī te Tumu Whakahaere o Coca-Cola ka huri te kamupene ki ngā pounamu kirihou i te aroaro o ngā taake hou mō te konumohe. Tērā pea ka hinga taua mahere mēnā ka pāngia hoki ngā kirihou wera e ngā taake hou. E whakaatu ana ngā tuhinga whakakitenga i tautoko hoki te kamupene i te Runanga ki te whakahē i ngā taake i tēnei tau, engari kāore ngā tuhinga e whakamārama ana i ngā kaupapa here, ā, kāore te kamupene i whakautu ki ngā pātai a ProPublica. (Kua ngana a Coca-Cola ki te whakapā atu ki a Trump, me te koha i te $250,000 ki tōna whakatūnga, ā, i hoatu e tōna Tumu Whakahaere ki a Trump tētahi pounamu Diet Coke whaiaro, tana inu waikura tino pai.)
Ko tētahi atu rāngai kua tino pai te haere mō te whakahekenga mai i ngā taake o nā tata nei ko te ahuwhenua, e kapi ana i te whānuitanga o ngā patu pepeke me ngā tongi.
Nō nā tata nei, i whakaputa te American Farm Bureau Federation, he rōpū tautoko ahuwhenua, i tētahi tātaritanga ki tana paetukutuku e whakanui ana i ngā whakawāteatanga wāhanga, me te kī ko ngā whakawāteatanga tarutaru me te pāhare pākawa he "tino kaha nā ngā whakahaere ahuwhenua pērā i te American Farm Bureau Federation" me te "whakaatu i te whai huatanga o te reo ngātahi o ngā kaimahi pāmu me ngā kaipāmu kararehe."
He maha atu anō ngā taonga kawemai kāore e taka ki roto i tētahi o ngā kāwai kore-taake, engari ka taka pea ki roto i te kāwai kore-taake mēnā he whānui te whakamārama.
Ko tētahi tauira ko te sucralose, he mea reka horihori. Ka nui te painga o tēnei whakaurunga ki ngā kamupene e whakamahi ana i te hua i roto i ngā kai me ngā inu. Engari ka whakamahia anō hoki te sucralose i roto i ngā rongoā i ētahi wā kia reka ake ai. Kāore i te mārama mēnā i whakaaetia e te Whare White tōna whakaurunga nā te mea i whakakorehia te rongoā, nā tētahi atu take rānei.
Ko ngā wāhanga whānui i whakawāteatia ko ngā ahumahi i tirotirohia e te kāwanatanga o Amerika mō ngā taake pea a meake nei i raro i tōna mana ki te whakatakoto taake hei tiaki i te haumarutanga o te motu.
Nā ā mātou kaipānui i taea ai te kōrero i pānuihia e koe. Ko te tumanako ka whakatenatena i a koe ki te tautoko i a ProPublica kia taea ai e mātou te mahi tonu i te mahi nūpepa tirotiro e whakaatu ana i te mana, e whakaatu ana i te pono, ā, e akiaki ana i ngā huringa tūturu.
He rūma pūrongo kore-moni a ProPublica e whakatapua ana ki ngā mahi pāpāho kore-pānga, e ahu mai ana i ngā meka, e pupuri ana i te mana whakahaere. I whakatūria mātou i te tau 2008 hei whakautu i te hekenga o ngā pūrongo tirotiro. Neke atu i te 15 tau mātou e whakaatu ana i te hē, te pirau, me te tukino i te mana — he mahi puhoi, he utu nui, he mea nui ake ki tō tātou manapori i mua. E whitu ngā wā i toa ai mātou i te Tohu Pulitzer, ā, kua akiaki mātou i ngā whakahoutanga i ngā kāwanatanga ā-rohe me ngā kāwanatanga ā-rohe, ngā umanga, ngā umanga, me ētahi atu, me te pupuri tonu i te hiahia o te marea ki waenganui o ā mātou pūrongo.
He nui ake ngā tūponotanga i mua. Mai i ngā tikanga matatika a te kāwanatanga ki te hauora uri ki te raruraru āhuarangi me tua atu, kei mua a ProPublica i ngā kōrero tino nui. Mā tō koha mātou e āwhina ki te pupuri i te hunga whai mana kia whai kawenga, kia noho tata hoki te pono ki te iwi.
Hono atu ki ngā kaitautoko neke atu i te 80,000 puta noa i te motu ki te tautoko i te mahi nūpepa tirotiro kia taea ai e ia te whakamōhio, te whakahihiko, me te whai pānga pumau. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou mō te whakatinanatanga o tēnei mahi.
Whakapā mai ki ahau mā te īmēra, mā te hongere haumaru rānei, hei tuku kōrero mō te kāwanatanga ā-motu me te pakihi a Trump.
Ka arotahi a ProPublica ki ngā wāhanga e hiahia ana kia aro nui atu i te wā tuarua o Donald Trump. Anei ētahi o ngā take ka arotahihia e ā mātou kairīpoata — me pēhea te tae atu ki aua take me te haumaru.
Ako atu mō tā mātou tīma kairīpoata. Ka haere tonu tā mātou whakapuaki i ngā kaupapa matua i te whanaketanga o ngā purongo.
Ka hipokina e au ngā take hauora me te taiao me ngā tari e whakahaere ana i aua take, tae atu ki te Tari Tiaki Taiao.
Ka hipokina e au ngā take mō te tika me te mana o te ture, tae atu ki te Tari Ture, ngā rōia o Amerika, me ngā kōti.
Ka kapi au i ngā take whare me te kawe waka, tae atu ki ngā kamupene e mahi ana i roto i ēnei rāngai me ngā kaiwhakahaere e tirotiro ana i aua rāngai.
Mena kāore āu he tohutohu, he kōrero rānei, me āwhina tonu mātou. Waitohu hei mema mō tā mātou Whatunga Rauemi Kaimahi ā-Motu hei whakapā mai ki a mātou i ngā wā katoa.
I kitea e ngā tohunga i arotake i te waehere a ProPublica he maha ngā hapa whakararuraru i roto i te pūnaha, ā, e whakamārama ana tēnei i te huarahi e whakaaetia ai e te whakahaere a Trump te matauranga horihori ki te tapahi i ngā ratonga nui.
E whakaatu ana ngā rekoata i riro mai i te CNN i whakamahia e tētahi kaimahi i te Tari Whai Hua a te Kāwanatanga, kāore he wheako hauora, te AI hei whakatau ko ēhea kirimana VA hei whakamutu. "He tino hē te AI," te kī a tētahi tohunga.
Ko Thomas Fugate, kotahi tau noa i muri i tana putanga mai i te kāreti, kāore hoki he wheako ki te haumarutanga ā-motu, te āpiha o te Tari Haumarutanga Whenua e tirotiro ana i te pokapū matua a te kāwanatanga mō te ārai i te whakatoi tutu.
Nā ngā whakaeke a te perehitini ki ngā mahi kanorau kua raru ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi kāwanatanga whai mātauranga nui — ahakoa ko ētahi o ngā mahi i ngaro i a rātou kāore i te hono tika ki tētahi kaupapa DEI.
E ai ki ngā tuhinga a te Tari Haumarutanga Whenua, i mōhio ngā āpiha neke atu i te haurua o te 238 o ngā tāngata i peia kāore he rekoata taihara i roto i te Hononga o Amerika, ā, ko ngā ture manene anake i takahia e rātou.

I te nekehanga a te Whare White i ngā kaimahi me ngā pūtea mai i ngā mahi ārai i te kaiwhakatuma ki ngā peia nui, i uaua ngā whenua ki te pupuri i ngā mahi ārai i te kaiwhakatuma i tautokona e Washington i mua. Ko te mutunga iho he huarahi wehewehe i waiho ai te maha o ngā rohe kia kore e tiakina.
Ko Thomas Fugate, kotahi tau noa i muri i tana putanga mai i te kāreti, kāore hoki he wheako ki te haumarutanga ā-motu, te āpiha o te Tari Haumarutanga Whenua e tirotiro ana i te pokapū matua a te kāwanatanga mō te ārai i te whakatoi tutu.

Ahakoa ngā kōrero hē, ngā tirotirohanga, me te whakamahinga o te noho motuhake hei whiu mō ngā tamariki, kei te noho tonu a Richard L. Bean hei kaiwhakahaere o te pokapū pupuri taiohi e mau nei i tōna ingoa.
