▼ + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

BRASILIA, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank employees said on Monday they would intensify work stoppages in protest of the government's alleged failure to address career improvement demands, a move that will impact the development of new initiatives at the bank. The National Union of Central Bank Employees (SINAL) said in a statement that this phase of the protest is expected to affect the timeline for launching the Brazilian central bank's digital currency, DREX, initially slated for late 2024. The central bank said it would not comment on the matter. Central bank authorities have been emphasizing the introduction of installment-based payments. The employees are advocating for central bank analysts to be treated as auditors, ensuring they receive compensation tied to productivity, similar to federal revenue auditors.

☆ Jim Cramer’s guide to investing: Examining 1987’s historic crash
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer said he thinks investors not only need to know what to do in case of a market crash or enormous sell-off, but why the crisis might be occurring. Over the course of Cramer's decades-long career, he said he's seen only two "truly horrifying" sell-offs: the crash of 1987 and the rolling crash of 2007 to 2009 during the financial crisis. To Cramer, the crash during the Covid-19 pandemic doesn't compare to either of these because the market rebounded immediately. But Cramer noted a difference between the two, saying the crash in 1987 wasn't caused by an overarching failure of the economy. But during the financial crisis, the market took years to recover, not bottoming until 2009 after the Dow initially plunged in 2007.

Listening to his moans and wails, I realized that, excruciating as my previous night had been, I’d gotten off comparatively easy. Ava, in the waiting room, saw the man’s adult daughter helplessly listening to her father’s agonies, her head in her hands, her face gray. And it’s just around the time your senescent parents die, releasing you from your last grim filial duties, that you start noticing signs of your own incipient decline. The world is arranged to discreetly conceal this side of life from us — the messy, ragged back of the tapestry. Then I was released back into the “real” Paris — the public, lovely one.

Chelsea's woes continued as they lost at home to Aston Villa and Sheffield United slumped to the bottom of the table as they suffered a humiliating 8-0 home thrashing by Newcastle United in which eight different Newcastle players scored. The first north London Premier League derby since 2014 not to feature Harry Kane produced an enthralling contest at The Emirates where the two unbeaten sides went toe-to-toe. Arsenal twice led, first through Cristian Romero's 26th-minute own goal, and again thanks to Bukayo Saka's penalty early in the second half. Mitoma then wrapped up the points as Brighton moved above Tottenham and Arsenal with 15 points. Newcastle ran riot at Sheffield United in the weekend's final action as they put eight past the hapless Blades -- their biggest win in the Premier League since they put eight past Sheffield Wednesday in 1999.

That's in part because wage growth hasn't been keeping up. According to Bankrate's analysis, however, three industries' wage growth outpaced inflation. That was retail, leisure and hospitality and accommodation and food services. Here's why they fared better than other industries and whether or not experts think, big picture, inflation-proof industries actually exist. But, at that point, workers didn't want to come back to retail, leisure and hospitality and accommodation and food services.

WhatsApp has more than 500 million users in India, though regulators there have capped its in-app WhatsApp Pay service to only 100 million people. People shopping on WhatsApp could also pay using popular services like Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google Pay, Paytm (PAYT.NS) and Walmart's (WMT.N) PhonePe but only after being redirected outside WhatsApp. Payments via those rival services - and any others that run on India's instant money transfer system UPI - will now be possible directly within WhatsApp, Meta said in a blog post. While WhatsApp Pay users will remain capped in India, there is no such limit on the number of users permitted to transact with businesses on WhatsApp using the other methods, a Meta spokesperson said. With some 300 million people spending about $180 billion via India's using UPI each month, the new transaction options could serve as a powerful lure to attract businesses to pay Meta for access to WhatsApp users.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court’s decision siding with Black voters in an Alabama redistricting case gave Democrats and voting rights activists a surprising opportunity before the 2024 elections. Khadidah Stone, a plaintiff in the Alabama case, said the continuing opposition was “appalling” but “not surprising.” She noted that Alabama is where then-Gov. A similar dynamic is playing out in Florida, where Republicans are appealing a ruling favorable to Black voters to the Republican-majority state Supreme Court. But the continued pushback from Republican legislatures in control of redistricting means there is great uncertainty about whether –- or how soon -– new maps offering equal representation for Black voters will be drawn. Louisiana state Rep. Sam Jenkins Jr., a Democrat, said he is optimistic now that the matter is in the courts.
