California's Yosemite National Park is so popular during peak summer season that it's now testing a pilot program for campers at one especially coveted campground in the park: A winter lottery in which winners get a chance to make early reservations.

Sometimes, it's tough being popular. Just look at the National Park Service. Record numbers of pandemic-weary visitors have shown up at many national parks during the pandemic.

They're trying this at just one especially coveted campground in the park -- North Pines Campground. The lottery started on January 18 and lasts through February 6, so there's still plenty of time to enter. They'll release the lottery results on February 10. The early access will be offered before the traditional on-sale dates. If there are any remaining spots, they'll be available on the usual on-sale dates, which is five months in advance on the 15th of the month, the park says.Visitors admire the view of Yosemite Falls in the distance.One economics phrase can sum up why they're doing this pilot program: supply and demand.

Trump negotiated a bad China deal. It has expired -- yet perplexingly, Biden isn't abandoning itOPINION: The Phase One trade agreement contained no real mechanism for enforcing the global trading rules. It’s time for the U.S. to abandon the deal, global trade attorney Neena Shenai writes. Trump had the right idea. It was a stepping stone to further and better agreements. You gotta start somewhere. Biden can’t hold a knowledgeable conversation so of course he can’t build on what was started and it’s all falling apart because of it. biden doesn't even know what he wore today, to think he'd even be aware of who the leader of china is, is a stretch.
