☆ I've stopped making friends at work
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-04 | by ( Alexandra Karplus | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

Because the city has a large transient population, I've seen many friends and coworkers come and go — but even this has had benefits. I've made trips to visit my work friends in their new homes around the world. Work friendships started back in New York and are still going strongThese types of strong connections with colleagues didn't just start in Singapore. More than half of those surveyed said they'd met a close friend through their work or a spouse's work. I haven't been introduced to any of my coworkers' friends or partners, nor has my husband met any of them.

☆ Watch: President Joe Biden delivers remarks on new U.S.-Mexico immigration executive order
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-04 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Please refresh the page if you do not see a player above at that time.] President Joe Biden is set to deliver remarks at the White House on Tuesday about his newly signed executive order tightening asylum restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border. The executive order will temporarily ban undocumented immigrants from obtaining asylum when migrant crossings exceed a certain threshold — a daily average of 2,500 over seven consecutive days. Given current levels of migrant crossings, which Department of Homeland Security officials estimate at 4,000 per day, the action is expected to take effect immediately. The executive order could also have economic impacts by tightening the labor market's growth and potentially unclogging U.S.-Mexico supply chains.

Read previewArielle Francois, 24, would tell her past self it's fine to be nervous about making the move from South Florida to Dallas. Francois moved to Florida from Haiti because of the earthquake in 2010. Beyond scrolling through social media posts and apartment sites, there are also rent and costs to think about. Additionally, Francois said she feels it's more affordable to live in Dallas than South Florida for someone her age. "Because South Florida is so close to Haiti, you'll find a huge population of Haitians in South Florida," she said.

Since SVB, Brex has continued to invest in differentiated services, including AI-powered tools to help streamline expense reporting, booking and management capabilities, accounts payable and procurement management. Within 36 hours, Brex signed up nearly 4,000 companies, taking in close to $2 billion in deposits. It has since backtracked on that position, and has doubled down on its roots serving tech startups. The spend management space has become more crowded, with fellow Disruptors Ramp and Navan, as well as Expensify, Mesh Payments, Airbase and Center competing for market share. Tech companies laid off more than 191,000 workers in 2023 — a trend that has continued into 2024.

Please refresh the page if you do not see a player above at that time.] Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks Tuesday to the annual general meeting of the Foreign Bankers' Association in Amsterdam. Policymakers remain concerned that inflation is not showing enough evidence that it is moving toward the Fed's 2% annual target. Recent data points have shown prices both at the consumer and wholesale levels running hotter than expected while consumer sentiment also has shown elevated expectations over the short term. Markets still expect the Fed to lower rates later this year, and Powell said following the FOMC meeting that he thinks it unlikely that rates will increase from here.

Socialites are playing chess on "The Real Housewives of New York City." In 1990, according to the US Chess Federation, only 4% of chess players were women. Out in the world, chess' resurgence has been accompanied by a wave of new clubs and events. I made a pilgrimage to the Marshall Chess Club, a 109-year-old institution in Greenwich Village. The following evening, I went to an East Village bar and found a very different scene at Club Chess.

CNN —Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the operations of Qatar-based news network Al Jazeera will be closed in the country. Netanyahu said on X in early April that he intended “to act immediately in accordance with the new law” to stop the outlet’s activity in the country. Netanyahu’s government has long complained about Al Jazeera’s operations, alleging anti-Israeli bias. The move comes as negotiators met in Cairo on Saturday, in a bid to secure a ceasefire and hostage deal. Qatar has played a key role in ceasefire negotiations in the on-going war.

☆ Don't worry, Dua Lipa fans: 'Radical Optimism' isn't a flop — it's primed for slow-burn success

Dua Lipa released her third studio album, "Radical Optimism," on Friday. With its Euro-pop vibe, 11-track structure, and dance-forward conceit, "Radical Optimism" does recall its predecessor, but that's hardly a bad thing. Compare that to the trio of "Radical Optimism" singles: "Houdini," "Training Season," and "Illusion," all of which have the makings of a smash. "Radical Optimism" is primed for the same kind of slow-burn success, especially given its familiar shimmer of pop genius. Final Grade: 8.6/10Dua Lipa's "Radical Optimism" was released on May 3, 2024.

But he also said the timing isn't certain and policymakers need more evidence that inflation is moving toward the Fed's 2% goal.
