☆ DoorDash is trying a new way of making deliveries — and it doesn't involve gig workers
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-25 | by ( Alex Bitter | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

The delivery service is working with at least two local delivery providers, one in Austin, Texas, and another in Fresno, California, through its Local Commerce Service Partner Program. That's a big change from the gig workers that DoorDash and other delivery services have largely built their businesses on. Uber, Lyft, Instacart, and other delivery companies have also relied on gig workers to build their businesses, leading millions of people in the US into the gig economy. Gig workers lack many of the benefits and legal protections that employees get. The amount delivery services pay gig workers has been going up in some cities, too.

☆ Why moves by Amazon and comments by Jamie Dimon don’t threaten an end to remote work benefits

But for two key reasons, these kinds of public proclamations don’t signal a broader demise of remote work benefits. Flex work options are too popular to ditchWhile an individual company may decide to backtrack on its remote work policies, the numbers suggest that’s not happening widely. Workplace consulting firm Gallup found in May that among full-time employees in remote-capable jobs, 53% work a hybrid schedule, 27% work exclusively remotely and 21% work on site. As of August 31, job postings on Indeed.com that specify hybrid and remote work have dipped a half percentage point year over year. It also found that HR leaders say hybrid work models help attract and retain talent.

Of all the battleground states, few have proved as elusive to Democrats running for president over the past decade as North Carolina. Mr. Trump notched his narrowest margin of victory in North Carolina in 2020, and this year, local Democrats believe they can win. Republicans in the state are steeping in extremism and last year overrode Mr. Cooper’s veto to enact a 12-week abortion ban. But the extremism doesn’t stop with Mr. Robinson. Though she is running for a job that would supervise public schools in the state, her platform promotes her experience home-schooling her children.

Some countries are fairly straightforward about their requirements for citizenship through jus sanguinis. Hungary offers citizenship based on jus sanguinis with some caveats, too. “When both of my parents got their Hungarian citizenship around four years ago, it made it easier for me to get it,” said Koszorus, 41, who received his Hungarian citizenship this summer, less than a year after he started the paperwork and application process. And a private Facebook group called Dual US-Italian Citizenship has more than 70,000 members and is among many other resources available to people who think they might have a blood right path to Italian citizenship.

In the past, such a drumbeat of controversy in the final weeks of the campaign might have given voters pause, even prompting shifts in the race. “We are on overload with wild stories every news cycle,” said David Kochel, a longtime Republican strategist and a veteran of several presidential campaigns. You can’t keep up with it all, so a lot of people just tune it out.”Adding to it all was a moment far outside his control: Mr. Trump faced a second assassination attempt. It is unclear what — if anything — could reshuffle the race in such a fiercely polarized nation. In fact, views of Mr. Trump have improved from earlier this year when he was leading Mr. Biden, with more voters viewing him favorably now than they did several months ago.

In its August survey of car shoppers, a majority (64%) said a Fed rate cut likely would affect the timing of their purchase. But here’s the thing: Car loan rates are pretty high — the average is 7.1% for new cars and 11.3% for used cars, according to Edmunds. If you do buy a home this year and are considering buying down points to reduce your mortgage rate, crunch some numbers first, Diodato advised. That’s because you will pay thousands of dollars to buy down your mortgage rate now, and then thousands more in fees to refinance. What to do if you’re not near retirement: Reconsider how much money you’re keeping in cash or cash-equivalent investments.

The revelations about Ryan Wesley Routh emerged Monday, a day after a Secret Service agent rousted him from a hiding place at the West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course where Trump had been playing. Trump was on the fifth fairway and not in Routh’s line of sight when the agent “engaged” the suspect, said Ronald Rowe, acting director of the Secret Service. In 2002, court records show, Routh was convicted of illegally possessing a machine gun. Court records for a person named Ryan Routh also show a 2003 divorce, along with multiple civil judgments after contractors and individuals sued a roofing company he helped run. Routh disparaged Trump as a “fool” and a “buffoon,” but he credited him for reaching out to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
