Scrolling through my Venmo transactions, it's evident that requests for comically small amounts of money are almost always made by friends who were either born with or earn more money than me. "Rich people love to Venmo request you $4.72 for like half a bagel because they have no concept of money and don't understand that working class people operate under an economy of buying someone a beer," one X user mused. "Friend making $450k as a software engineer: 'Can you Venmo me $3.62 for your share of the Uber ride?'" Susan Bradley, founder of the Sudden Money Institute, coaches clients who have quickly or unexpectedly come into large windfalls of cash on how to transition out of being a have-not. The phenomenon of the rich friend being the stingiest rings true, she says: "People with more money than their peers struggle with generosity."

Dollar Tree believed acquiring Family Dollar would help it compete against larger rivals. “When Dollar Tree bought Family Dollar, they didn’t really know what they were doing,” D’Arezzo said. Many Family Dollar stores were located too close to each other and cannibalized each other’s own sales, too, D’Arezzo said. Family Dollar “needs more work than the company originally thought.”A year later, an activist investor pushed for a sale of the “underperforming” Family Dollar business, and Family Dollar announced it would close 390 stores.

CNN —A doctor at a field hospital for detained Palestinians at Israel’s Sde Teiman army base has described “deplorable conditions” and “routine” amputations due to handcuff injuries, according to an exclusive report from the newspaper Haaretz. “Just this week, two prisoners had their legs amputated due to handcuff injuries, which unfortunately is a routine event,” the doctor said in the letter, according to the Haaretz report on Thursday. CNN spoke to a source who has a medical background and previously visited the Sde Teiman field hospital. The medical source highlighted the systematic “dehumanizing” of detainees at the field hospital, which they described as a large “tent” that is “not insulated” from the elements. “We were asked not to use our names,” the medical source told CNN, adding that the Gazan prisoners were identified by serial numbers, rather than their names.

It’s the man cave: punchline, poker hub and perennial source of masculine escape. To Tristan Bridges, a sociologist who is studying the phenomenon, the man cave is also a window into the dynamics of a home, into friendship and loneliness, hobbies and pastimes — and what our physical spaces can tell us about ourselves. For the past few years, he has been interviewing people about their caves, and now Opinion is, too. Do you live in the United States and have a space (a room, a basement, even just a corner) that could be described, cheekily or not, as a man cave?
