“This looks and smells like human trafficking,” said Ariadna Phillips, a New York community organizer with South Bronx Mutual Aid. On Tuesday, DeSantis said at a news conference that three of four people arrested last week for "ransacking" communities following Hurricane Ian were illegal immigrants who should be immediately deported.

Aug 10 (Reuters) - African e-commerce firm Jumia Technologies said on Wednesday it was past peak losses and would focus on promotions, marketing and cost cutting in its quest towards profitability, driving its shares up 16% despite a wider quarterly loss. Jumia is an online marketplace for vendors and food sellers, with associated services including logistics and payments. Jumia still expects a full-year adjusted EBITDA loss of $200 million-$220 million, but it reduced its full-year capital expenditure guidance to $10 million-$15 million from $15 million-$25 million. Its quarterly active consumers rose 25% to 3.4 million, while total revenue for the quarter reached $57.3 million, up 42.5%. "If they were to enter those markets, ... it would be a great validation of the attractiveness of e-commerce in Africa," he said.

Acolo, în ultima perioadă a fost observată o puternică creștere a incitărilor la violență. Cred că a sosit timpul unei regândiri fundamentale a mediilor de socializare, a modului în care difuzează discursul urii, minciunile şi teoriile conspiraţiei. Trump e doar un exemplu, dar sunt în multe alte locuri din lume lucruri similare. Ăsta este un discurs care funcționează și oamenii vor să îl consume în continuare. Trump e un șef de cult, e un guru.
