mapodile | E+ | Getty ImagesAfter a more than three-year payment pause, federal student loan bills will once again be part of Americans' lives this fall. Indeed, a recent survey conducted by Trellis Company found that holders of student loan debt experienced key distress indicators at higher rates compared with all survey respondents. What is student loan identity? Student loan expert Ryan Law, a CFP and professor at Utah Valley University, said he has witnessed student debt anxiety, and denial, among current college students. "What I've generally found is that most people don't really want to know a lot of information about their student loans."

That, at least, is the vision emerging from a growing number of states introducing — and in some cases passing — legislation intended to protect kids online. Now, in the absence of federal legislation, states are taking action, and raising some alarms in the process. On the surface, providing more guardrails for teens is a step forward that some parents may welcome after years of worrying about the potential harms kids face on social media. “Not all parents are passionate, kind and supportive of their kids, and even the ones who are don’t have the capacity or time to deal with the 24/7 nature of social media,” said Heitner. “It’s an unfair burden.”Enforcement issuesGiven that the bills are unprecedented, it’s unclear how exactly social media companies will adapt and enforce it.
As part of the bill, called the Utah Social Media Regulation Act, social media platforms will have to conduct age verification for all Utah residents, ban all ads for minors and impose a curfew, making their sites off limits between the hours of 10:30 p.m. - 6:30 a.m. for anyone under the age of 18. The bill will also require social platforms to give parents access to their teens’ accounts. “Social media provides a lifeline for many young people, in addition to community, education, and conversation,” said Jason Kelley, director of activism at the EFF. Given that the bill is unprecedented, it’s unclear how exactly the social media companies will adapt. Inouye said minors could “steal” identities – such as from family members who don’t use social media – to create accounts that they can access and use without oversight.
Kade Peterson, 24, wanted to be an Amazon seller after witnessing his older brother become successful at it. Together with his brother, he went to an overstocked goods store with the Amazon Seller app in hand. Tips from lessons learnedAfter noticing that some products sold immediately and others never sold, he realized that he could use an Amazon metric known as an Amazon Best Sellers Rank (BSR). But there are some brands that don't allow anyone to sell their products, no matter how long you've been an Amazon seller, he noted. If a customer complains about a faulty product, Amazon will shut you down, he said.
The ecommerce store wasn't wildly successful but he managed to sell about $500 worth of products, he said. He also tried selling call-center software for six months but didn't make a single sale. So Peterson began doing his research and within a few weeks, he was ready to launch his first product: A seatbelt gap filler. "I didn't know I was infringing on anyone's patent, and so I basically closed down that product," Peterson said. Again, it began to do well until Amazon banned selling the product without documents and approvals due to safety issues, he said.
OREM, Utah — Fending off attacks from his independent challenger, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah worked to distinguish himself from former President Donald Trump in a contentious debate Monday evening. Lee faces a challenge from Evan McMullin, a former Republican known most for his long-shot bid for president six years ago, when as an independent he won 21.5% of voters in Utah, including Lee. Lee’s attempts to draw a distinction with Trump reflect the peculiar dynamics emerging in Utah this election cycle. What I think he’s trying to do is draw that contrast,’” Utah Republican Party Chair Carson Jorgensen said. Trump failed to win support from a majority of Utah voters in 2016 and Joe Biden performed better with Utah voters in 2020 than any Democrat since 1964.
