As a startup founder, no day is exactly the same. This is a relatively new part of her daily routine, and something she used to think was "impossible" to make time for as a startup founder. A typical day: Communicating with customers, paring down meetings, and saving admin for the eveningA chunk of Jiang's day consists of interacting with Peek customers via WhatsApp chat. In general, she says she has "way fewer meetings" as a startup founder than she did in the corporate world. Jiang and her partner, who is also a startup founder, also block out one night a week — Thursday — to set work aside and "just hang out," she said.

☆ WFH with kids isn't easy, but neither is working in an office. As a parent, I think strict RTO policies are a mistake.

Even with all the challenges it brings as a parent, I have zero interest in ever working in an office again. It took my kids a while to understand that "going to work" means leaving the house for most people. One of us often had to work less to make it work, and we've each taken turns. Remote work has proven that office irritations are not a requirement for making a living, and I am happy to give them up. It would be a mistake to destroy all the hard-won progress we've made in making remote work a viable option by enforcing strict RTO policies.

However, working from home can have drawbacks when it comes to taking a lunch break. "If you're really working around the clock, until let's say dinner time and don't take that break, it's not contributing to the longevity, sustainability, and overall health of employees," Tavis said. Overworking and burnout from not taking a proper break can also contribute to mental health issues, Tavis said.

The New Orleans guaranteed basic income pilot was a collaboration between Mayor LaToya Cantrell's Office of Youth and Families and the national advocacy network Mayors for a Guaranteed Income (MGI). AdvertisementResearchers, however, noted that the individualized impacts of guaranteed basic income are difficult to capture in a dataset. For Howlette, the New Orleans pilot results show that housing, work, and transportation-related costs are major barriers for opportunity youth. She said guaranteed income is just one way to help alleviate these challenges and prevent long-term poverty.

While skilled vocational trades like health services and construction were big drivers of job gains in August, sectors like information, which encompasses tech and white-collar fields, haven't fared as well.

The dossier included what the Trump campaign identified as Vance’s potential vulnerabilities. Instead, the first public sign of any release of private information came Saturday, when the Trump campaign went public with its announcement that it had been hacked, pointing the finger at Iranian operatives. “These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said. As long as they’re verified and newsworthy, then they’re fair game, but motive is an important part of the story, too,” Dan Kennedy, a journalism professor at Northeastern University, told CNN.

Musk announced his official endorsement for Trump in a post last month that received 2.3 million likes. Weeks after it was posted, the video is not labeled with a “community note,” X’s community fact-checking feature that Musk used as justification for slashing the company’s trust and safety team. In a letter, the secretaries urged Musk to “immediately implement changes” on the X platform.

In May, six Adani Group companies disclosed they had received notices from SEBI alleging violation of Indian stock market rules. Alongside the inquiry into the Adani group, SEBI sent a "show cause" notice to Hindenburg Research alleging that the short-seller violated the country's rules by setting up a short-bet using non-public information. Hindenburg Research said these allegations were "nonsense" in a note published on its website in July, which also made public the regulator's notice. In its latest report, Hindenburg attempts to draw a link between offshore funds that traded in Adani Group shares and personal investments of Buch and her husband. It says that Bermuda-based Global Opportunities Fund, which according to a Financial Times investigation was used by entities connected to the Adani group to trade in share of group companies, had sub-funds.
