The US economy could face a "long, slow grind" as huge debts take their toll, Ruchir Sharma wrote. There has been $8 trillion in new federal spending since 2021, he said in the Financial Times. "Many nations have come to regret massive stimulus campaigns, as the resulting debts weighed on growth." Big spender China was credited with 'saving the world' after 2008, but it has seen growth slow since then," Sharma said. When the stimulus and other temporary boosts wear off, the American economy could settle into a long, slow grind."

China, the world's biggest fossil fuel consumer, is among those signalling that it intends to keep using them for decades. By inserting "unabated" before fossil fuels, the pledge targeted only fuels burned without emissions-capturing technology. "We cannot use it to green-light fossil fuel expansion," the countries said in a joint statement. We can't say we want to avoid 1.5 C ... and not say anything about phasing out fossil fuels," Cox said. The Alliance of Small Island States, whose members face climate-fuelled storms and land loss to rising seas, wants a fossil fuel phase-out and an end to the $7 trillion governments spend annually on subsidising fossil fuels.

NEW YORK (AP) — Inside the U.N.'s gates, world leaders use the spotlight to talk — to each other and the entire planet. Nonprofit organizations send their senior leaders to the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly at significant expense to make sure their voices are heard in the right rooms. It was one of some 40 events the Ford Foundation hosted connected to General Assembly week, flexing its power to convene.

Singer Ed Sheeran appears on NBC's "Today" show at Rockefeller Center in New York, U.S., June 6, 2023. A court filing on Wednesday said that songwriter Ed Townsend's estate would withdraw the appeal with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled. Attorneys for Townsend's estate did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. A jury determined after a six-day trial in May that Sheeran's song did not infringe Townsend's copyright in "Let's Get It On."

Stock futures traded near the flat line Wednesday night as investors parsed through the Federal Reserve's projections made earlier in the day. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were lower by 14 points, or 0.04%. S&P 500 futures were down 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures edged lower by 0.2%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had commented that a soft landing for the economy was still possible, but not his baseline scenario. During Wednesday's session, the 10-year note reached levels not seen since November 2007, while the 2-year yield hit its highest point since July 2006.

China's economy is likely headed for a financial crash, market veteran Ruchir Sharma warned. "In this scenario, the next big step for China is a full-blown financial crisis."

Al-Fayed for decades insisted the pair were murdered, despite inquiries finding otherwise, and was scornful towards the British royal family in his later life. After 1997, when a car crash claimed the lives of his son and Diana, Al-Fayed would frequently sling insults at the British royal family and became persona non grata among parts of the country’s elite. Al-Fayed was questioned by police in 2008 in relation to a sex assault allegation that he denied, a Harrods spokesperson said at the time. He eventually sold the store to the Qatari royal family in 2010, for a reported $2.25 billion. Al-Fayed had six children, including Dodi and the environmentalist entrepreneur Omar Fayed.

And it served its intended purpose: to naturalize inequality of status and resources in an era defined by its yawning gaps between haves and have-nots. I mention all of this as context for Richard Hanania, a rising star among conservative writers and intellectuals. For years before appearing in the pages of newspapers and publications like this one, Hanania wrote articles for white supremacist publications under a pseudonym. “The reason I’m the target of a cancellation effort is because left-wing journalists dislike anyone acknowledging statistical differences between races,” he recently wrote. But his supposedly transgressive views are little more than the warmed-over dogmas of the long-dead ideologues who believed in the scientific truth of race hierarchy.

Jobs, one of three children of the Apple cofounder and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, is launching Yosemite, a venture capital firm that will invest in new cancer treatments, according to a press release.

China recently switched on a 16-megawatt offshore wind turbine in the Taiwan Strait. It's the largest, most powerful turbine in the world, at 499 feet tall with 404-foot blades. That dwarfs the size and capacity of American and European wind turbines currently in use. For comparison, the Block Island Wind Farm off the coast of Rhode Island has five wind turbines capable of generating 30 megawatts of electricity combined, which the company behind it says can power 17,000 homes. Workers install the world's first 16-megawatt offshore wind turbine at an offshore wind farm operated by China Three Gorges Corporation on June 28, 2023 in Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone, Fujian Province of China.

It made no distinction between drug use and sales, or between marijuana and heroin. About 90 percent of those who were born at the peak of the baby boom have at least experimented with illegal drugs. Though by 1970 both parties agreed the Boggs Act had flopped, New York State’s moderate Republican governor, Nelson Rockefeller, didn’t take note of its ineffectiveness. In 1962, he had tried mandating lengthy periods of residential treatment for people with addiction. The sentencing was deliberately harsher than for rape or murder because drugs were seen as a crime against the whole community.

Americans began to grapple with a nationwide epidemic of child abuse in Catholic parishes and other religious organizations in 2002, after a landmark Boston Globe investigation revealed a pattern of misdeeds and cover-ups in Boston that went back decades. Ten years earlier, Sinead O’Connor became a pop culture pariah in the United States for an on-air protest intended to raise awareness of the same problem. The backlash to her actions — tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II on “Saturday Night Live” and then shouting “Fight the real enemy!” — was swift. Prominent Americans, including celebrities like Madonna and Joe Pesci, denounced her. Catholic leaders were outraged, including some who were forced to resign years later for their roles in covering up abuse.

“The recent heat waves and scorching summer temperatures demonstrate the economic cost of heat stress,” Chris Lafakis, Moody’s Analytics’ director of economic research, wrote in an emailed response to a CNN query. Moody’s Analytics estimates that chronic physical risk from heat stress could reduce worldwide GDP by up to 17.6% by 2100. The losses are steepest in sectors such as agriculture and construction, but no industry or business is immune, she said. “Every summer we have a stretch [of excessively hot weather], where it might last from four days up to a week,” he said. “We have to look at the potential of our business model shifting to a nine-month facility going forward,” she said.

CNN —Oscar winner George Clooney has joined the chorus of artists calling for change as actors hit the picket lines in their first strike against film and television studios since 1980. “This is an inflection point in our industry,” Clooney told CNN in a statement on Friday. The SAG-AFTRA strike was officially announced on Thursday. Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, chief negotiator for SAG-AFTRA, stressed to reporters on Friday that the actors’ strike is not a ploy for big name stars to make more money.
