☆ Why marginalized content creators will likely be the most affected by tech industry turmoil
  + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Jordan Parker Erb | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
But today, we're talking about another group of people who will be affected by the recent tumult: content creators. The chaos at social media companies is hurting the most vulnerable content creators. Tumult is sweeping Big Tech, with thousands of full-time employees affected by industry layoffs. But some of the biggest losers from the shake-up will be the content creators who have fashioned careers on social media. That's particularly the case for marginalized creators, says Duffy, who's spent more than a decade studying the working lives of digital cultural producers.

Wall Street has increased its pressure on companies to get more efficient amid the ongoing stock market decline. Bob Iger's abrupt return to Disney as CEO this week is the latest example that investors are calling the shots. Corporate titans like Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet's Sundar Pichai have not been immune to the pressure from Wall Street. Now, Disney is facing new pressure from Trian Fund Management's Nelson Peltz, according to the Wall Street Journal. These are three other companies that have faced pressure from investors recently as their stock prices suffer.
☆ Biden’s granddaughter Naomi ties knot in White House wedding
  + stars: | 2022-11-19 | by ( The Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +6 min
It’s the first White House wedding with a president’s granddaughter as the bride, and the first one ever on the South Lawn. Naomi Biden walks to the White House in Washington, D.C. with first lady Jill Biden and President Joe Biden on Oct. 11, 2021. The couple, who have been living at the White House, was set up by a mutual friend about four years ago in New York City and have been together ever since, the White House said. The White House announced the wedding in a statement following the small, private wedding in the Rose Garden. The White House Correspondents Association, which advocates for press access to the White House and the president, said it was “deeply disappointed” that the White House declined its request for press coverage of Naomi Biden’s wedding.
☆ How Putin and Friends Stalled Climate Progress

How Putin and Friends Stalled Climate Progress A handful of powerful world leaders rallied around Russia and undercut global cooperation. Mr. Putin has gained from this as the increasingly autocratic Mr. Xi finds common cause with the Kremlin. “Much depends on whether authoritarian leaders perceive climate action to be in their self-interest.”Though their actions help Mr. Putin, their track records on climate are mixed. Mr. Xi called Mr. Putin his “best friend.”He was returning the favor from a year earlier, when Mr. Putin hosted Mr. Xi at the Grand Kremlin Palace and awarded him one of Russia’s highest medals for foreign dignitaries. At a news conference with Mr. Putin, Mr. Bolsonaro thanked his “dear friend,” saying that Mr. Putin had offered him support when other world leaders were criticizing his Amazon policy.
☆ Biden may soon put a floor on sinking oil prices. That’s good for our energy stocks
  + stars: | 2022-09-15 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
When the government decides to start buying, oil prices could get some nice support, which would be good for our energy holdings. When a player like the U.S. government goes from supplier to buyer, its a pretty positive sign for those that benefit from higher oil prices. Remember, the variable part of the dividend payments that all three companies pay are tied directly to free cash flow generation. Coterra's free cash flow breakeven is about $40 per barrel as of its second quarter results. In July 2021, U.S. oil prices fell below $70 after OPEC said it would increase output as Covid fears weighed on global demand.
☆ Why Joe Biden thinks he's never too old to be your president

As the oldest sitting president, he's raising concerns about how long he can continue governing. Republicans — including Trump — have gleefully seized on Biden's verbal misadventures, such as when he called his vice president "President Harris." President Joe Biden drives the Ford's new all-electric F-150 Lightning in Dearborn, Michigan. Ruggerio described the idea that Joe Biden is diminished or can't remember things as "bull crap." Cox said that while he thinks Biden is "still Joe" and still capable, he worries that Biden's age is a problem.
