The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

New Mexico is now officially the first state to offer free child care to all residents.
Under the program all families, regardless of income, can get their child care fees covered.

I’m not holding my breath to ever see something like this in our country, but I’d love to be proven wrong.
Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists.
A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back.
Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.
