Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Circular-economy researcher Julian Kirchherr had always dreamed of being a professor, but the academic treadmill left him craving more real-world impact. As a ‘pracademic’, Kirchherr has a tenured position at a university and a job as a management consultant.

How I carved out a career as a ‘pracademic’
Julian Kirchherr craved a role with real-world impact. A career that straddles academia and management consultancy helped him to achieve his goal.

Commentary: Who profits most from Medicaid? Employers like Walmart and Amazon, many of whose workers rely on the program
Big employers such as Walmart, Amazon and McDonald's stick taxpayers with the bill for healthcare and food for their employees. The GOP budget will make life harder for those workers.

This is not uncommon, which highlights another of the fallacies with this pronouncement:
People can be able bodied and have Medicaid due to
1) Low pay
2) No viable options for health coverage
These people can't quit their regular job to take a lower paying seasonal job picking fruit

Can confirm. It’s not just retirement accts, but college savings accts like 529s, whose value just plunged. If you, like me, have college age kids this really sucks. And they were doing well/ growing during the Biden years.
This stock plunge is occurring as many parents are now tapping into their 529 accounts to start paying for college. Kids have to decide by the end of the month. Now, 529s have dipped more than 10% in accounts many created more than a decade ago. This drop couldn't be happening at a worst time.
Bessent says the crash is OK because people have other savings.
Q: "What is your message to Americans who want to retire" and have "just seen their lifetime savings drop significantly?"
"Americans who have put away for years in their savings accounts ... don't look at the day-to-day fluctuations."
