"If I was using rideshares and the delivery apps and everything the way I was, I would run out of money each month," she said. For some, like Manley, it means going back to the old-fashioned way of doing certain things: shopping around for hotel deals, taking public transit more, and working out at home with fitness classes on video.

Wall Street Democrats have spent the last eight years complaining about their relationship with Washington. But now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the party’s presumptive presidential nominee, they see a chance to regain influence. “Waging war is not.” (He later clarified that he would support Harris regardless of whether she replaced Khan.) Few on Wall Street would disagree with that stance — Khan has moved to block deals with seemingly little concern over losing in court. But behind the scenes, many are irked by this kind of public lobbying, arguing that it exposes a misunderstanding of the way the Washington game is played, and that it could backfire.

☆ The 'hushed hybrid' work schedule is the latest way employees are getting around a return to the office
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-03 | by ( Sarah Jackson | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

It's called working a "hushed hybrid" schedule, and unlike other forms of sneakily evading a return to the office, you actually want — no, need — your boss to know about this one to make it work. Hushed hybrid refers to employees working from home more often than companywide policies would otherwise permit them to, thanks to the flexibility of their managers. AdvertisementWhile some workers could benefit from working "hushed hybrid," uneven enforcement of work policies could raise questions of favoritism. That could help eliminate the need for "hushed hybrid" working. Depending on how companies track attendance at the office, some managers may not be able to cover up for their employees' remote work.

For most of the athletes at the Paris Olympics, the accommodations are to be endured, rather than enjoyed. In the name of sustainability, the beds at the Olympic Village feature cardboard frames and inflatable mattresses. To the horror of the French, the British have even complained about the food. They are spending the Games in a temperature-controlled, tastefully appointed housing complex set amid the ornate splendor of Versailles. Life, at the Olympics, should be good for the horses.

It’s called the Golden Garden Hospitality Experience, and it begins with door-to-door taxi service and a queue-free entrance. Go to any big sports event and you will find people having more rarefied experiences than you. The Summer Games in particular have long been known for the extravagant perks they dole out to dignitaries, corporate sponsors and other constituents of the Olympic-industrial complex. Such benefits used to be out of reach for most Olympics ticket holders. While third-party vendors have always offered luxury ticket packages, the deals came with some uncertainty because the sellers weren’t sanctioned by the Olympics.

Slowdown fearsGlobal markets are a blur of red on Friday as investors fret that the U.S. economy is heading for a slowdown. Lackluster tech earnings are weighing on sentiment (more on that below), but the bigger worry is a softening jobs market and a spending pullback by consumers that threatens to crimp corporate profit. That shines a spotlight on Friday’s jobs report, scheduled for release at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, and bolsters calls on the Fed to lower interest rates at its next meeting, in September. There’s even talk that the central bank could consider a jumbo half-percentage-point rate cut to pull off its hope for a soft landing in which inflation is cooled without tipping the economy into recession.

Seven-year-old Halla Tómasdóttir was confused on her mother’s birthday in 1975. Her mother and aunts weren’t in the kitchen as usual, instead directing their husbands and brothers to do the work. That was because women were taking the day off to demonstrate their value to society amid Iceland’s first national women’s strike. More than four decades later, Ms. Tómasdóttir is the country’s new president, nurtured by the message she absorbed on that day. “They told me they wanted to show the world that they matter,” Ms. Tómasdóttir said this week.

CNN —Justin Timberlake has pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated stemming from an arrest earlier this summer in New York. Timberlake, who attended the hearing in Sag Harbor, NY virtually, spoke twice to answer “yes” to Sag Harbor Village Justice Justice Carl Irace. At a hearing late July, Timberlake’d attorney disputed that the performer was intoxicated, arguing he should not have been arrested. Friday’s appearance was a rescheduled arraignment after Timberlake’s attorney argued in a previous hearing there were paperwork errors. There is another conference hearing in the case on Aug. 9, though Timberlake is not required to attend at that time.

☆ 4 Key Takeaways From The Times’s Reporting on Spending at GLAAD
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-01 | by ( Emily Steel | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The New York Times reviewed dozens of expense reports and receipts from January 2022 through June 2023, as well as employment agreements, tax filings, audit reports and other financial documents to detail a pattern of lavish spending at the nonprofit organization GLAAD, one of the country’s leading L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy groups. Such perks, luxurious business travel and large pay packages might be commonplace at a for-profit company. But legal experts said they were inappropriate for a nonprofit organization with about 60 employees that, in exchange for being exempt from federal and state taxes, must ensure that executive pay is reasonable and aligned with the charity’s mission and the intent of donors. The spending, much of it by GLAADs chief executive Sarah Kate Ellis, may have violated the organization’s own policies as well as Internal Revenue Service rules, the Times reporting shows.

For the first time, wind and solar generated more of the European Union's electricity than fossil fuels during the first half of the year. Wind and solar accounted for an all-time high of 30% of the region's energy needs, according to an analysis by the think tank Ember . In a separate report , Ember forecasted a global LNG supply glut by 2026 and a substantial drop in EU gas demand by 2030. But the rush to increase LNG exports from places like the US ignores the reality of rapidly declining gas demand in Europe, she added. Ember's report said that while it's unclear how swiftly fossil-fuel use will drop across Europe, a pipeline of solar and wind projects suggests this tipping point could be permanent.
