☆ America is doing retirement all wrong

When we think of retirement, we often think of endless leisure and zero responsibility. Americans are doing retirement all wrong. Anqi Chen, a senior research economist at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, says people are addressing both by simply working longer. But returning to your old line of work is hardly the only way to stay emotionally and intellectually fulfilled in retirement. A lot of people have drawn their sense of purpose or identity from work, and they might want to continue doing so through jobs or volunteering in retirement, she says.

"The bitcoin bull market has legs," Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital, said in a report Wednesday.

To most of us, the ocean is a no man’s land — a vast, bottomless and uncharted void. It is this lack of exploration and appreciation — particularly of the layer of cold, dark water that begins where light fades, known as the ocean’s twilight zone — that has led us to a very precarious place. Just as we are learning to appreciate the extraordinary service of creatures in the twilight zone, companies that manufacture feed for industrial fish farms, fertilizer and omega-3 supplements are preparing to exploit it. Right now nations are considering authorizing commercial fishing fleets to grind life in the twilight zone into fish meal, fertilizer and plant food. Before they move forward with these plans, it would be wise to hit pause so we can understand how that decision will affect our planet.
