Get the inside scoop on today’s biggest stories in business, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley — delivered daily. Those worries are pushing the city to look for ways to get developers to build more housing — including affordable units, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor told Insider. In order to ease the hardships that some residents are facing, Castor said the city is incentivizing developers to increase housing supply generally. An influx of residents has helped drive up housing prices Tampa. Typically, such arrangements let builders move ahead with projects if development plans include affordable or workforce housing.

CNN —Eight candidates for the Republican nomination for president took the stage for the first GOP debate Wednesday night in Milwaukee. (In June 2020, he announced a plan for schools to reopen for the next school year that began in August. In April 2020, the unemployment rate spiked to 14.7% — the highest level since monthly records began in 1948. It reached a 66-year low during certain months of 2019, at 3.4% in April and 3.6% in August, but by December 2020, unemployment for women was at 6.7%. That deal was negotiated by special counsel David Weiss, who was first appointed to the Justice Department by former President Donald Trump.

Earlier this month, Zoom told employees it would send some workers back to the office regularly. Zoom CEO Eric Yuan said remote work didn't allow people to build as much trust or be as innovative. Zoom, one of the main enablers and beneficiaries of remote work, told employees living within 50 miles of a Zoom office that they must work there at least two days a week. "Over the past several years, we've hired so many new 'Zoomies' that it's really hard to build trust." Meta this week told employees some might lose their jobs if they didn't show up at least three days a week.

☆ Walmart vs Target: When it comes to groceries it's not really a competition
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-17 | by ( Dominick Reuter | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Walmart posted surprisingly strong sales growth in the last quarter, while Target reported a decline. As shoppers increasingly prioritize essentials, one in four US grocery dollars are spent at Walmart. When Walmart's grocery sales are combined with those of its subsidiary warehouse club Sam's Club, the total approaches a third of total US grocery spending. Target meanwhile accounts for 3% of grocery dollars, or about a tenth of Walmart Inc., per Numerator. Target sells those things too, of course, but if shoppers are already heading to Walmart for groceries, they may not want to make a second stop.

The sky was clear over Rockaway Beach in Queens early Saturday afternoon. Lifeguards scanned the still waters, dotted by a few swimmers, and occasionally blew whistles to warn those who ventured too far into the ocean. The woman, Tatyana Koltunyuk, had been swimming alone near Beach 59th Street when she was bitten on the left leg, officials said. Jose Velez, 64, was at Beach 59th Street on Saturday with his wife, brother, sister-in-law and nieces and nephews. The family comes to the beach every year, he said, and had “never, never, never” heard of such an attack.

New York City's pace of housing construction has slowed to a trickle, despite a severe affordability crisis. Manhattan's borough president has identified about 200 sites where he says the city could build housing. We have to fix this," Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said in a tweet. The city approved 2,525 new units citywide and 1,208 in Manhattan in July 2013. A big portion of the opposition to the legislation came from suburban areas around New York City that didn't want to see more density in their communities.

New York CNN —New Jersey is now the only state in America where it’s illegal for drivers to pump their own gas. Oregon last week lifted its 72-year-old ban on self-service gas stations, allowing stations to operate half of their pumps as self-serve. Oregon’s move makes New Jersey the last state where drivers can’t touch the gas pump. Gas stations’ struggles to hire workers have led to renewed attempts by New Jersey gas station industry advocates to lift the ban.

Beyond Meat's sales tanked by nearly a third in Q2, which the company attributed to weak demand. Consumers are financially squeezed and they're skeptical of the health benefits of plant-based meat, execs said. Brown said that the "number one issue" with the plant-based meat category was that it ultimately wasn't bringing in enough new consumers. International markets saw a much smaller drop in revenues year-over-year. While environmental concerns are a major motivator for people buying plant-based meat in Europe, "here in the US, it's more driven by health," Brown said.

When DeSantis launched his presidential campaign in May 2023, he chose trusted ally Generra Peck as his campaign manager. The inexperience at the top may have hurt DeSantis' presidential ambitions. As his campaign continues to circle the drain, it would make sense for DeSantis to replace Peck with someone with ample experience working on presidential campaigns.

Backers of AI predict a productivity leap that will generate wealth and improve living standards. The productivity gains it was once lauded for have slowed across many economies. In a globalised economy, there are other reasons to doubt whether the potential gains of AI will be felt evenly. That is just one of several factors that will help determine how AI shapes our economic lives - from antitrust policies that ensure healthy competition among AI suppliers through to re-training of workforces. "The question is: will AI exacerbate existing inequalities or could it actually help us get back to something much fairer?"

Since 2021, at least eight states have signed into law bills restricting bathroom use. I asked Prior why these bills succeeded when similar legislation had so resoundingly failed not even a decade ago. Last fall, a Public Religion Research Institute survey found an 18-point shift in favor of restrictive bathroom policies among political independents since 2016, and a 17-point shift among all Americans. The Public Religion Research Institute survey found that while independents have soured significantly on transgender policies, the largest swing by far has been among Republicans. In another postelection study, TargetSmart, a Democratic data firm, matched Virginia’s 2021 election data to individual voters’ demographic information.

The details of the case, made public on Friday, immediately entered the pantheon of New York City rat tales.

Perhaps most famous was Pizza Rat, a large brown rat that went viral after video emerged showing it dragging a large slice of pizza down the stairs to an L line station in Manhattan in 2015. But it was Meat Rats — and several instances of selling misbranded chicken gizzards, pork spareribs and other meat — that put an end to Ya Feng, which ceased operations at the end of 2022. The lawsuit accused the company; its owner and president, Linmin Yang; and the warehouse manager, Kong Ping Ni, of violating the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act.

JPMorgan countered that the U.S. Virgin Islands was also to blame for allowing Epstein's sexual abuse of young women and teenage girls, saying the territory used its powers to enable these crimes. The U.S. Virgin Islands is suing JPMorgan for at least $190 million, saying the bank ignored red flags about Epstein because he was a wealthy and lucrative client from 1998 to 2013. Ahead of a scheduled Oct. 23 trial, the U.S. Virgin Islands wants a judge to declare that JPMorgan participated in Epstein's sex trafficking and obstructed law enforcement.
