  The United Kingdom has fallen by its own hand. Statista released an extremely troubling report that shows there were 71,227 cases across the country at a rate of 114 per 100,000 people. The figure was 7,801 in 2000. How could this happen? “Light-on-crime” policies have emboldened dangerous criminals, especially those without citizenship who are already above the law. UK authorities will arrest citizens for complaining about open borders on social media or protesting the demise of their culture. They promote violent crime against women—that is a FACT. The Pakistani grooming gang in Britain was solid proof that the government…

Americans’ mental health is suffering and it’s not just due to stressful news feeds or not getting enough steps in. Toxic work environments are playing a large role in an epidemic of worsening mental health. According to Monster’s newly released 2025 Mental Health in the Workplace survey of 1,100 workers, 80% of respondents described their workplace environment as toxic. The alarming statistic is an increase from 67% just a year ago. The challenging environment has major implications. An astonishing 71% of workers say their mental health is poor (40%) or fair (31%), while only 29% rank it positively: 20% said…

The Affordable Care Plan (Obamacare) was never affordable, admits the editorial board of the Washington Post. The same council that praised Obama’s “signature achievement” finally revealed what the American people so clearly experienced–healthcare costs rose. “The real problem is that the Affordable Care Act [Obamacare] was never actually affordable,” the Post declared, adding, “assumed that risk pools would be bigger than they turned out to be. As a result, policies cost more than expected.”Socialistic policies never result in savings. Regulatory mandates under the ACA required insurance companies to cover everyone and anyone with pre-existing conditions without any medical underwriting. Healthier…

Skyscanner, a leading global travel booking site, released its 2026 Travel Trends report on Thursday. And the forecast for the year ahead includes trips down the supermarket aisle, literary-inspired itineraries, in-flight beauty routines, and some surprising trending destinations (looking at you, New Haven!). If travel in 2025 was about collective experiences, the new travel mindset for 2026 is clear—it’s no longer solely about community connections; it’s about prioritizing travelers’ individual interests and passions. The report also looked at the role artificial intelligence is likely to play in travel search and planning in 2026: 54% of travelers said they felt confident…

President Donald Trump inherited a nation that was invaded. The invaders were incentivized to stay and permitted to coast under the radar. His administration was forced to throw down the gauntlet and forcibly remove the people who were invited to stay by the Democrats. New data indicate that ICE has removed approximately 600,000 migrants since January, with over 2 million having left overall. ICE warned that “this is just the beginning.”  Over 1.6 million people voluntarily self-deported. They heard the warnings loud and clear. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin discussed how there were no consequences for invaders during the Biden Administration.…

Before I was ever involved in the flower business, I jumped from job to job, trying to figure out where I belonged. I grew up in South Queens, New York, where the role models on my block were police officers and firemen who showed up when others needed them most. Naturally, I thought I’d follow that path and become a cop. That dream shifted into social work, a field that fed my heart but not my wallet. To make ends meet, I took on whatever work I could, flipping houses, tending bar, you name it. Through it all, I never…

I recently had an unsettling rideshare experience. Let me paint a visual picture. You have a Tesla doing its self-driving thing, a guy just sitting in the driver’s seat “supervising,” and a terrified human (me) in the backseat looking on in horror. Finally, I said, “Please keep your hands on the wheel when you’re driving me, OK?” Tesla’s autonomous functionality might be safe, but I don’t have enough trust yet to allow a Tesla to get me from Point A to Point B without a human steering it. There’s a parallel between self-driving cars and the current perceptions of AI…

Agentic AI is redrawing the boundaries of value creation in corporate America. Gartner projects that by 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will incorporate agentic AI, and at least 15% of daily business decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents. The AI race isn’t about building the most sophisticated algorithms, it’s about whether employees actually adopt these digital collaborators and use them to expose inefficiencies long hidden in plain sight. Yet many business leaders are still grappling with how to integrate agentic AI seamlessly into existing operations, and deliver meaningful results. A recent MIT Nanda report found that 95%…

I grew up in the Netherlands, so I know the upsides of living in Europe. I also know how hard it is to build a company here. The rules change across borders, funding is limited, and things move slower than they should. When we started Remote, we knew we had to think globally but also anchor in the U.S. It’s the biggest tech market, and succeeding there gives you the best chance to scale everywhere else. That choice wasn’t unique to us. More and more European founders are making the same call.What’s changed is the timing of the move. Expanding…

Too many jobs today have a PR problem, limiting opportunities for our young people and our economy. The jobs that now exist and the training needed for them have changed dramatically over the past half-century, but our perceptions haven’t kept up. Consider the manufacturing industry. A sector once synonymous with grimy factory floors, repetitive labor, and aggressive offshoring is now a hub for advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data analytics. Yet Deloitte found that only 4 in 10 Americans would likely encourage their children to pursue a manufacturing career. While working in Kentucky several years ago, I…
