Layoffs Hit Highest Since 2020—What’s Up?

Telecom and tech are leading the pack, and even hiring plans are at their lowest in over a decade. Is your job safe? This job market is wild right now! #Health #BodyHealth #layoffs

Economic Abuse: The Hidden Crisis No One Talks About

If you or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone—help is out there. #Relationships #EconomicAbuse #MentalHealth

Japan has developed solar-powered benches that collect heat during the day and slowly release it through the night, keeping people warm in freezing temperatures. The system was designed to support homeless individuals by providing a safe, sustainable source of warmth when conditions are most dangerous.

I spent my entire monthly allotment in 45 minutes. This is what $290 looks like in

I remember back in 2021, my monthly SNAP allotment felt like a safety net. I could fill two carts. I could buy brand-name cereal. I could even grab a few "treats" for the kids. Today, I walked into Walmart with my full $291 deposit. I walked out with barely enough to cover the bottom of one cart. Let's talk about the prices that nearly made me cry in aisle 4: Ground Beef: Used to be $3.99/lb. Now? $6.48 for the cheap stuff with high fat content. Eggs: Back up to nearly $5 a dozen in my area. Bread: Even the generic store brand is almost $2.50. I had to play a humiliating game of "Tetris" at the checkout register. watching the total climb: $200... $250... $280. I had to ask the cashier to stop. I put back the bag of apples. I put back the box of crackers. I put back the frozen pizza I promised my son. Now I have $1.15 left on my card to last me until January 1st. It’s December 1st. How are we supposed to survive this? Is anyone else relying on food banks just to bridge the gap? #Inflation #GroceryHaul #FoodInsecurity #Economy #CostOfLiving #StruggleIsReal #Walmart

Germany’s Moon Mission: Why It Matters

Coffee break scoop: A German astronaut is set to be the first European to fly to the moon, thanks to Europe’s big investment in NASA’s Artemis missions. Why should you care? Well, it’s a major flex for Germany (and Europe) in the space race, and it means more international collabs—and maybe more tech jobs and cool STEM inspiration for the next generation. If you’re dreaming big, this is your sign: even moonshots are on the table! #Business #Industry #SpaceNews
