Trump's departure from the White House hasn't stopped him from using the old administration's star power to fuel Capitol Ministries' growth. But regardless of what happens this coming November, Capitol Ministries is quickly becoming the face of American GOP-style evangelicalism around the world. Other than Ralph's wife, Danielle, and a few members of Capitol Ministries' administrative staff, the room was almost entirely men. Rick Perry spoke to Drollinger at Capitol Ministries' global summit in Washington, DC. And yet, on the question of whether and why to support Israel, Drollinger was indeed looking to Revelation for answers.

☆ Kroger is the latest retailer to spend big on employee wages as the job market tightens
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Alex Bitter | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Kroger is latest retailer to say it will spend more this year on worker wages as companies fight to keep employees in a tight labor market. The grocery chain will spend $770 million more on employee pay and benefits in 2023, it said after reporting earnings on Thursday. Kroger operates stores under 19 different names, including Ralph's in Southern California and Mariano's in Chicago. The Ohio-based grocer follows companies like Home Depot and Walmart in committing to raise wages this year. Walmart said in January that it would increase its minimum wage to $14 from the previous $12-an-hour rate.

Grocers like Kroger are gathering consumer data and selling it, The Markup reported. Kroger says that selling the data to advertisers could help it realize $1 billion in new profit. But the information, even without names attached, could violate customers' privacy. Both Kroger and Albertsons say that they give aggregate "de-identified" shopper data to their clients. Kroger, for instance, touts its data set on Hispanic consumers, among other "ethnic panels," on the website for its marketing arm.
