▼ + stars: | 2024-12-24 | by ( Hannah Beckler | Nicole Einbinder | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +49 min

AdvertisementTogether, the claims describe a US prison medical culture defined by a gross disregard for human life. In dozens of cases in BI's sample, incarcerated people said they were denied emergency medical treatment by corrections officers or medical staff despite obvious medical distress. But according to his complaint and internal grievance files, the prison medical staff denied Kirk's request to be seen at a hospital. In at least a dozen cases BI examined, outside medical authorities, such as hospital doctors, testified that the medical treatment prisoners received was substandard. As Mann's abdominal pain continued over the next two years, according to medical records, prison medical staff ordered X-rays and lab work but did not conduct a thorough oncological screening.

Because you've seen hundreds of PowerPoint presentations since your sixth-grade science-fair days, you instinctively know this one's going to take the full hour. Nearly four decades after the launch of PowerPoint, the slide deck remains one of the most dominant forces shaping how we think — and don't think — about our work. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, and military top brass have been bad-mouthing and even banning slide presentations from meetings, instead favoring memos or even old-fashioned, visual-aid-free, raw-dogged discussion. Microsoft estimated that 30 million PowerPoint presentations were being made every day. AdvertisementI hate the way people use slide presentations instead of thinking.

☆ Couple has $3 million in assets, but $40,000 in credit card debt due to 'sloppy' financial management, says money expert

When asked how they racked up so much debt, the couple mentioned emergencies like a flood, a car accident and other unexpected costs. They could feasibly tap their savings and investments to wipe out their credit card debt almost immediately. Yet they also owe $40,000 in credit card debt, they told self-made millionaire and money expert Ramit Sethi on a recent episode of his "Money for Couples" podcast. Even high earners can find themselves under a mountain of credit card debt if they let their spending go unchecked. Then, they can institute a standard operating procedure with rules, such as putting cash windfalls toward their credit card debt or discussing purchases over a certain price.

☆ Megan Thee Stallion and Kamala Harris: The power pantsuit two ways

CNN —Two suits, two women, one message: “Hotties for Harris.” At least that was the phrase scrawled across banners at Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Atlanta Tuesday night. Minutes later, Harris walked onto her podium to rapturous applause — also in a blue pantsuit. From being endorsed by Charli XCX and co-opting the album of the summer, “Brat,” to capitalizing on the 32.3 million-strong fandom of Megan Thee Stallion, her advisors have been honing in on the 18-27 demographic. Kamala Harris' icy blue suit seemed twinned in a way with Megan's cropped version. It’s hard to picture Clinton signing off on a decision to have Megan Thee Stallion “shake cheeks,” as one fan on Instagram wrote, in a cropped suit at a rally.

☆ Democrats Are Trailing Everywhere But at the Ballot Box
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-16 | by ( Susan Milligan | ) www.usnews.com time to read: +6 min

Democrats scored a big win in New York on Tuesday, and the numbers were extremely encouraging for the party. Across the country, Democrats are winning special elections and overperforming in elections they have predictably lost. And it's fueling optimism among Democrats looking at a challenging election year for both the White House and Congress. Last month, Democrats picked up a critical state House seat in Orlando, Florida – an important indicator of political mood in the I-4 corridor, home to many Hispanics. That doesn't necessarily translate into support for Biden, experts note, since the president often polls lower than Democrats running for lower office.

Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion have released diss tracks about each other.

Political Cartoons View All 1145 ImagesThe delay marks the second time in 12 years that a Democratic administration has put off a new ozone standard prior to an election year. Former President Barack Obama shut down plans to tighten ozone standards in 2011, leading to four-year delay before the standards were updated in 2015. "Unfortunately we’ve seen the process for updating the ozone standards repeatedly swept up in political games that risk lives,'' the lawmakers said in an Aug. 7 letter to EPA.

OTTAWA, July 21 (Reuters) - Canada's Pacific dock workers' union said it reached a new tentative contract agreement with employers and that its leadership would vote on Friday on whether to put the deal up for ratification by members. The local unit represents 3,000 of the 7,500 dock workers who went on strike for 13 days earlier this month. A ILWU source confirmed that the entire union leadership, and not just the Local 502, would vote on whether to ask for ratification. That strike ended last week with a tentative deal that was rejected by union leadership on Tuesday. But the ILWU then withdrew its strike notice on Wednesday, leaving the talks in what the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) said was a "fluid and unpredictable situation."

Democrat Donna Deegan pulled off an upset in Jacksonville, defeating front-running candidate Republican Daniel Davis on Tuesday to become the city's first female mayor. In Philadelphia, former state representative and City Council member Cherelle Parker won the Democratic nomination for mayor. She now faces Republican David Oh in the general election in November, a race she will most likely win in the largely Democratic city. Parker pledged to hire more police officers if she becomes Mayor of Philadelphia, where violent crime remains a chief concern across the nation's sixth largest city. She, like Deegan, would become her city's first female mayor if she wins, taking over for incumbent Democratic mayor Jim Kenney, who was term limited.

A spokesperson for the House Oversight Republican majority said "the EPA’s excuse for not appearing before this week’s subcommittee hearing is devoid of logic" noting EPA Administrator Michael Regan's recent testimony. Last month, the EPA proposed sharp emissions cuts that it estimates would result in 60% of new vehicles by 2030 being electric and 67% by 2032. EPA said the requested witnesses had previously scheduled meetings with lawmakers and others Wednesday preventing their participation and because the proposed rules "are currently open for public comment." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not yet new proposed fuel economy standards. Last week, an auto trade group warned the EPA proposal may rely on a too rapid transition to EVs and poses significant challenges.

☆ Morgan Stanley breaks down why home prices are due to drop in 2023 for the first time in over a decade — and shares 3 data points that are strikingly similar to the mid-2000s crisis

In October, home prices rose 9.2% year-over-year, S&P Dow Jones Indices said in a December statement. Affordability is dropping at the quickest pace in decades, he said, as mortgage rates remain above 6% and home prices remain historically high. While new home supply has soared, existing-home supply has stayed relatively low, meaning total supply has stayed low. Housing supply is calculated by considering the number of houses available and the pace of home sales per month. Total months of supply remain at just four months, a level that has been historically associated with climbing home prices," Egan said.
