But when I listen to the news in the morning, I viscerally know what distrust feels like now that we are transparently in our agitator and war monger phase

Samsung recently announced it would award stock and bonuses to all workers—the first time it’s awarded stock to all staff, not just executives. Estimates by Fortune show this could amount to $20,000 for each of its 260,000 employees

So true - I know so many people who don’t shop anymore. But in the US, this may be another emerging example of the class divide
“Finding time to socialise is easier if you can pay for things that save time, from washing machines to grocery deliveries”
“higher income predicts less loneliness”

Amid horrendously long lines at food banks around the country, the president is willing to let Americans go hungry.
Trump sure seems eager to starve the poor
The president can't quite suppress his sinister goal of withholding benefits from hungry Americans, even as the White House insists otherwise.

In August, Polymarket received an investment from a VC firm where Donald Trump Jr. serves as a partner. As part of the deal, Trump Jr. joined Polymarket’s advisory board.
These ties have drawn scrutiny from critics who claim the investment could amount to a conflict of interest.
