Social media posts have claimed without evidence that leaders of the World Economic Forum (WEF) have said “God is dead” and that they will turn humans into gods. In the video, a woman claims Klaus Schwab, leader of the WEF, said “God is dead” and that “WEF leaders have acquired divine powers to rule over humanity” (here), (here). We are really acquiring divine powers of creation and destruction. A Google search for “Klaus Schwab” and “God is dead” did not result in any reports from credible news sources of similar statements by Schwab. The WEF did not state that “God is dead” or that the organization would turn humans into gods.

But what could mark the end of zero-Covid may be just the beginning of China's pandemic problems. Not to mention there are doubts that China's economy will be able to make a swift recovery even as it moves away from zero-Covid. "Between companies that manufacture in China for China, they're not going anywhere," Jeff Moon, China Moon Strategies founder and former assistant U.S. trade representative for China, said in an interview. "But there are also companies that are manufacturing in China for export out of China, and those are the companies that are actually looking to at different locations." Watch the video to learn more about how China's stringent zero-Covid policies collapsed and the challenges the world's second-largest economy faces as it moves to reopen.

Noah noted the strong influence American political parties hold, encouraging his audience to consider issues outside the lens of democrat or republican ideals. From my mom, my gran, my aunt – all these Black women in my life,” the host said. “If you truly want to learn about America, talk to Black women,” he continued. Noah took over the program in 2015 from long-time host Jon Stewart whose 16-year run of the show shaped it into a late-night staple. He kicks off his “Trevor Noah: Off The Record” tour in Atlanta on January 20.

New York's venture capital scene is rapidly growing as more West Coast firms move in. Several of New York's venture capitalists said they draw their style from the city's vibrant arts scene. But now, some venture capitalists don't necessarily see the merit in dressing like one another. Whether it's a leather skirt, a pair of sneakers, or a fleece vest, most venture capitalists told Insider that their work style boils down to one thing: personal power. Here are seven venture capitalists who take their style as seriously as their investments.

The department began opening investigations into families days later, but Laird told NBC News in March that she didn’t have plans to move. The family’s story reveals part of the impact Abbott’s directive is having on the families of trans youths in Texas. They left out of fear that Noah would lose the care recommended by his medical team, but also because the state was becoming increasingly hostile for trans people, Laird said. He added that Laird and Noah are far from the only ones who have left the state — he knows of several. At least three other families with trans kids have also said in interviews that they have moved.

There are hints that the worst of the U.S.'s bout with inflation may be in the past. The consumer price index, a widely watched inflation gauge, came in at 7.7% in October when compared with a year earlier. Inflation can be very hard to predict," Kevin Kliesen, business economist and research officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, told CNBC in an interview. However, any potential downturn is expected to be mild, The Conference Board CEO Steve Odland told CNBC. This could be a much less painful experience with the Fed trying to tame inflation than it has been in the past," Odland said.

There are hints that the worst of the U.S.'s bout with inflation may be in the past. The consumer price index, a widely watched inflation gauge, came in at 7.7% in October when compared with a year earlier. While that was still well above the Federal Reserves' 2% target, it did clock in below Wall Street's expectations. However, any potential downturn is expected to be mild, The Conference Board CEO Steve Odland told CNBC. This could be a much less painful experience with the Fed trying to tame inflation than it has been in the past."

Audiences will see how the battle in the Texas Legislature over gender-affirming care for trans children is far from a mere partisan philosophical argument or campaign talking point for me. That’s the year a flood of anti-LGBTQ bills were introduced in the Texas Legislature — the majority of which directly targeted trans kids and their families. This year dealt Texas trans families a double blow when state Attorney General Ken Paxton delivered a nonbinding legal opinion that gender-affirming care for children was child abuse — followed by a directive from Gov. We acted quickly as a family, breaking the news of our pending out-of-state move to Noah over an unforgettably sad dinner. Despite it all, Texas is where our hearts reside, no matter how many miles might separate us and how directly damaging Republican rhetoric has been.

From groceries to used cars and airline tickets—the prices for everyday goods and services have skyrocketed in 2022. That has prompted policymakers to drastically recalibrate monetary policy in an attempt to thwart inflation's damage to consumers' paychecks. One of the most widely cited tools at their disposal is the consumer price index, also known as the CPI. The consumer price index is the average change in the prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services over time. Watch the video above to find out how the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the CPI, and what it means when it comes to the U.S. economy.

From the best of times, to the worst of times: The market for initial public offerings has fallen off a cliff in 2022. The decline has been striking given the record level of proceeds raised through public markets just a year prior. U.S.-listed companies raised over $155 billion in proceeds in 2021 through their initial public offerings, according to data from EY and Dealogic. Part of the clog in the IPO pipeline has been caused by the dismal performance of companies that went public in 2021, Gerring said. Watch the video above to find out how the IPO market went from boom to bust in 2022, and whether experts forecast a rebound in 2023.

The manner of writing is captivating and adding the pictures to the end of the book, was the perfect way to end this autobiography. At the same time, the twists of the plot are merciless – the reader falls under the spell and into the trap. Although he begins his book by recalling how his mother threw him out of a minibus because of a racist, dangerous driver, he defines very well his relationship with her.
