Moon visits SK's battery plant construction site in US
South Korean President Moon Jae-in visited a plant construction site of SK Innovation, the country's leading battery maker, in the United States on Saturday. The facility in the state of Georgia is regarded as symbolizing close partnerships between the two countries in the electric vehicle (EV) battery sector. The Joe Biden administration is pushing to secure stable supply chains in such high-tech industries as semiconductors and EV batteries. SK is partnering with Ford Motor for a joint venture to manufacture EV battery cells. Moon made a stopover in Atlanta for a visit to the site on his way back home following summit talks with Biden, during which they agreed to cooperate closely on the global supply chain issue. He was accompanied by South Korea's Industry Minister Moon Sung-wook, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Georgia Gov. Brian P. Kemp during the tour of the facility. Once its construction is completed on the outskirts of Atlanta, the facility is expected to become a "successful cooperation model" between the two nations, according to Moon's office Cheong Wa Dae.

Subscription Law Enforcement Service Piloted In LA Amid Defunding Police
This year, violent crime across liberal-run Los Angeles County is out of control amid the "defund the police" movement. A private security firm that describes itself as a "subscription law enforcement service" has launched a pilot program in the metro area to fix this.
Motherboard reports Citizen, a neighborhood watch app, partnered with LAPS, or Los Angeles Professional Security, a private security firm, to provide a "subscription law enforcement service" to residents and businesses. From neighborhood watch app to now a Citizen-branded vehicle driving around Los Angeles, providing security services to clients is a business idea that will likely flourish considering defund the police has crushed Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), unable to manage the metro area as shootings and murders skyrocket so far this year. On its website, LAPS defines itself as a "subscription law enforcement service." An internal email observed by Motherboard said the company is "an additional response partner."
A Citizen spokesperson told Motherboard that "LAPS offers a personal rapid response service that we are testing internally with employees as a small test. For example, if someone would like an escort to walk them home late at night, they can request this service. We have spoken with various partners in designing this pilot project."
Subscription law enforcement services will probably flourish in liberal-run cities as defunding the police movement is backfiring as these metro areas become more dangerous.
