☆ Let's call it the YouTube election

And I'm very confident — based on my non-scientific poll of my teenage sons, who inhale YouTube — that those numbers are way, way bigger for young people. But what was most interesting about the election was the way the Trump campaign spent the summer embracing YouTube personalities. Edison Research says YouTube — including both regular, free YouTube and YouTube's paid YouTube Music service — is the most popular way for people to listen to (or watch) podcasts. And, unlike platforms like Instagram and TikTok — podcasters can get a meaningful share of the advertising revenue generated by their YouTube audiences. We should think about it as a podcast plus a YouTube election," he says.

☆ Weight-loss drugs could stave off dementia, small study finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-30 | by ( Hilary Brueck | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Today, a group of dementia researchers from the UK released some early results that suggest it's possible these trendy injections might also stall the progression of dementia. A daily injection for brain preservationIuliia Burmistrova/Getty ImagesFor the study, researchers spent a year tracking brain changes across 204 Alzheimer's patients with mild to moderate disease. "It sounds like it is worth pursuing a larger trial, but these results cannot demonstrate that liraglutide can protect against dementia." Experts have seen how dementia patients' brains get worse and worse at efficiently using glucose for energy as their disease progresses, but the calculus is always complicated. Bigger studies using more powerful GLP-1 drugs for dementia are already ongoing.

☆ Older GLP-1 drug from Novo Nordisk may slow Alzheimer's disease progression by protecting the brain, study says
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-30 | by ( Annika Kim Constantino | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

George Frey | ReutersAn older, once-daily drug for diabetes and obesity from Novo Nordisk called liraglutide may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by protecting patients' brains, according to data from a mid-stage trial released on Tuesday. Novo Nordisk sells liraglutide as a diabetes and obesity drug under the brand names Victoza and Saxenda, respectively. Alzheimer's disease often causes the brain to shrink as the illness progresses because crucial nerve cells break down and stop working properly. By 2050, the number of Alzheimer's patients is projected to rise to almost 13 million in the U.S. The ongoing EVOKE is examining semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic, in nearly 2,000 Alzheimer's patients.

☆ Taco Bell, Chipotle, and other chains pay managers as much as $180,000. Here's what it takes to land a high-earning fast-food job.

Since the pandemic, fast-food workers have fled the sector, leaving restaurant chains struggling to find help. But how have fast-food general managers, whose duties range from dealing with fussy customers to inventory management, fared over the years? "While Taco Bell Corporate cannot mandate salaries and wages of franchisees, we offer competitive pay rates and encourage franchisees to do the same," Taco Bell said. The chain said 54% of Taco Bell general managers started as restaurant-level workers. Taco Bell President and Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams began his career as an assistant general manager in Detroit, Michigan.

☆ Obama-era rules banning low-efficiency light bulbs are now in full force. You don't have to throw away your incandescents, but switching to LEDs could lower your utility bills.

They effectively end the sale and manufacture of incandescent light bulbs. You don't have to throw away incandescent bulbs you already own, but switching could save you money. You can thank — or blame — new federal energy efficiency regulations that went into full effect Tuesday. Practical incandescent bulbs, which trace their origin to an 1880 Edison patent, can't meet those standards. How LED bulbs save energy and moneyIncandescent bulbs create illumination by running an electric current through a filament that heats it until it glows.

A total of 210 tons of drugs seized in a single year, a record. And all this chaos financed by powerful outsiders with deep pockets and lots of experience in the global drug business. Ecuador, on South America’s western edge, has in just a few years become the drug trade’s gold rush state, with major cartels from as far as Mexico and Albania joining forces with prison and street gangs, unleashing a wave of violence unlike anything in the country’s recent history. Fueling this turmoil is the world’s growing demand for cocaine. “People consume abroad,” said Maj. Edison Núñez, an intelligence official with the Ecuadorean national police, “but they don’t understand the consequences that take place here.”

☆ California's electricity bills could soon be based on how much you make — and some people are furious
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-03 | by ( Brad Davis | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

A California law would set a sliding scale for electricity bills based on a household's income. It doesn't totally take out of the equation how much power each household uses: Part of each bill will still be based on that. But each bill also will have "fixed charges" that will be set based on income. Cities like Los Angeles need to build out their electric system to deal with increased demand. "This makes it cheaper to use electricity to operate electric cars or appliances," the NRDC argues — something that could become key in stoking demand for EVs.
