So much for that touching goodbye post to Sheryl Sandberg that Mark Zuckerberg posted just 9 days ago, when after a 14-year run at Facebook — now Meta Platforms — Sandberg said she was resigning from her post as COO. At the time, Zuckerberg called Sandberg’s planned departure the “the end of an era” and spoke glowingly of her as an “amazing person, leader, partner, and friend.” Today, the Wall Street Journal reports — for the second time since Sandberg resigned — that Facebook has… Source link

A man in Phoenix is losing hundreds of dollars each day after shaving nearly 50 cents off per gallon at his gas station to help customers weather skyrocketing fuel prices.

For Democrats to have a fighting chance of keeping control of Congress this year, they needed inflation to show marked improvement in May, followed by steady declines through the summer and fall. Not gonna happen. Inflation in May went the wrong direction for Democrats, and even though the midterm elections are still five months away, it’s probably a safe bet Republicans will capitalize on soaring prices to take at least one chamber of Congress. Barring something dramatic or unforeseen,… Source link

For nearly a year, inflation has been hammering Americans. Every month when the Consumer Price Index report gets released, rates have stayed high or gone higher. Hopes that elevated prices were beginning to settle were dashed Friday morning when the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released data showing that the CPI, its broad measure for prices of goods and services, reached 8.6% for the month of May. The number represents the highest level of inflation in the U.S. since 1981, and it has top… Source link

With welcome candor, she admitted… Source link
