▼ + stars: | 2024-05-28 | by ( Kevin Williams | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +11 min

But the business experience in the retail health clinic space has largely disappointed. Walmart and the problem of volume vs. priceIn 2019, Walmart announced a bold initiative to open 4,000 in-store health clinics by 2029. "Primary health care is a low margin business," said Arielle Trzcinski, a principal analyst covering health care at research firm. "Compared to what they see in traditional retail, health care is a fundamentally different business," Trzcinski said, citing the challenges of navigating insurance companies and administrative burdens that health care brings. In-store health clinics can be profitable and viable, and retailers are experimenting with piecemeal approaches tailored to the local market.

As I've navigated the process of inheriting money, I've concluded this is spot on, but it comes down to how each of those classes teaches (or fails to teach) their children financial competence. I grew up with a "poor" mentality and knew I wanted to make better financial decisions for my future children. I directed the funds to separate savings accounts for my children at the local bank I had used for years. Even if I didn't traditionally invest, online savings accounts now offer up to 5% interest.

A Boeing 737 MAX sits outside the hangar during a media tour of the Boeing 737 MAX at the Boeing plant in Renton, Washington. In a statement Monday, Boeing said: "We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends." A former Boeing quality inspector who filed a whistleblower complaint over alleged plane safety flaws was found dead "from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound," officials in Charleston, South Carolina, said Monday. Boeing said then that it was following the ruling and would look to improve the design of the nut, but also said it wasn't a flight safety issue. After his retirement in 2017, Barnett filed a whistleblower complaint to federal regulators about his experiences at the South Carolina plant.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has approved President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency's air pollution office just as the agency is set to finalize rules over climate-changing emissions from power plants and cars and trucks. Joe Goffman is a longtime EPA official who has headed the air and radiation office on an acting basis since Biden took office three years ago. Goffman's 2022 nomination for the air post, one of the top jobs at EPA, lapsed last year without a Senate vote. She called the Clean Power Plan “a direct shot at American energy production" and an attempt to shut down coal- and gas-fired power plants, including those in her home state. An EPA plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions from power plants is little more than the "second iteration of the Clean Power Plan,'' Capito said.

It's no secret: Estee Lauder (EL) has lost its way. Fabrizio Freda, the CEO of Estee Lauder since July 2009, was once an industry "wunderkind," Jim Cramer acknowledged Tuesday. Shares of Estee Lauder have fallen 50% year to date and lost two-thirds of their value over the past two years. We have been expecting consecutive poor quarters from Estee Lauder since China's post-Covid economic rebound has stalled.

In addition to the thoughts about squirrels and work, Kelce also posted in 2010 about how much he loved going to IHOP and ordering the steak and eggs for breakfast, to which one user responded: “such a good order king.”He hated long lines at Chipotle, got excited for basketball games and enjoyed a good fettuccine Alfredo at the local Olive Garden from time to time. One user wrote that his posts represented a simpler time on that platform: “travis kelce’s old tweets perfectly encapsulate what twitter once was,” they posted. “Dudes expressing themselves without fear of judgement during study hall.”Still, many fans found reasons to make fun of the football star. Many pointed out the spelling errors he made in the posts, while others compared Kelce’s unsophisticated posts to complex lyrics from the song “All Too Well” that Swift, a 12-time Grammy winner whose Eras Tour this year shattered concert records, released around the same time. “oh this himbo .. i love him,” one user replied to a post that included one such side-by-side.

More than 20 countries have called for a ban or moratorium on deep-sea mining ahead of Monday's opening of a nearly two-week meeting of the U.N. International Seabed Authority’s council. Companies including Samsung and BMW also have pledged to avoid using minerals mined from the deep sea. “Sea mining is one of the key environmental issues of our time, and this is because the deep sea is among the last pristine areas of our planet,” said Sofia Tsenikli, from the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, a Netherlands-based alliance of environmental groups. But scientists and environmental groups argue that less than 1% of the world’s deep seas have been explored, and they warn that deep sea mining could unleash noise, light and suffocating dust storms. The International Seabed Authority, which is tasked with regulating deep international waters, has issued more than 30 exploration licenses.

But when it comes to his current startup, an AI platform for businesses called Iterate, Nordmark is staunchly against relying on outside funding. Nordmark is part of a growing league of founders who are opting for bootstrapping, which means growing startups without relying on outside funding from investors. Six startup founders interviewed by Insider also say that in some cases, they're actively turning down opportunities for funding to keep maximum control of their business plans. Founders who have eschewed VC funding say that bootstrapping allows them to go — and grow — at their own pace. To be sure, some startup founders are still taking big checks from VCs when the timing is right.

I like to keep my beauty routine super simple, so my take always was: But it’s an extra step! The best part came next: My usual foundation glided on top of the primer and almost hovered above my skin without sinking into my (let’s call them fine) lines. I love that the primer solves an annoying beauty problem: foundation drying on the skin and turning cakey as the day goes on. (Or explore new entries to the line, Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint With SPF 15 and Pressed Powder, which are on my shopping to-do list.) But if you have normal or dry skin and want your makeup to last and not turn too matte, it’s a real find.
