On March 11, former President Donald Trump, who once attempted to remove TikTok
from American app stores, said.
“Without TikTok, you can make Facebook bigger, and I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people.”.
Trump went on to say that "there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad" with TikTok.
There are a lot of people on TikTok that
love it.
There are a lot of young kids on
TikTok who will go crazy without it, Donald Trump, to CNBC.
Lawmakers have sought to limit TikTok's reach
in recent years due to fears that the Beijing government will access Americans' private data.
If China wants anything from [TikTok],
they will give it, so that’s a national
security risk [that] goes up, Donald Trump, to CNBC.
But when I look at it, I’m not looking
to make Facebook double the size.
, Donald Trump, to CNBC.
And if you if you ban TikTok, Facebook
and others — but mostly Facebook —
will be a big beneficiary, and I think
Facebook has been very busy, Donald Trump, to CNBC.
I think Facebook has been very
bad for our country, especially
when it comes to elections.

On June 27, Walgreens announced quarterly earnings
that were poorer than expected, NBC News reports.
The company's stock fell 15% in pre-market trading.

Our results and outlook
reflect these headwinds, Tim Wentworth, Walgreens CEO, via press release.
Wentworth elaborated in an interview with CNBC.
The consumer is absolutely stunned by
the absolute prices of things, and the
fact that some of them may not be
inflating doesn’t actually change their
resistance to the current pricing, Tim Wentworth, Walgreens CEO, via CNBC.
On a call with analysts, Wentworth said that Walgreens' strategy will have to "include the closure of a significant portion of these underperforming stores.".
75% of our stores drive 100% of our
profitability today. What that means is
the others we take a hard look at, we are
going to finalize a number that we will close, Tim Wentworth, Walgreens CEO, via call with analysts.

US Water System May Be , Vulnerable to Cyberattack, by China, Russia and Iran.
CNBC reports that the United States
water system has been the target of a series
of cyberattacks over the past few years. .
In response, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has been forced to issue an alert warning
that 70% of water systems do not comply
with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
According to the EPA, some have “alarming
cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” including
unchanged default passwords and former
employees who retain access to vital systems.
In February, the FBI issued a warning to
Congress that Chinese hackers have embedded
themselves into the U.S. cyber infrastructure. .

In a recent interview with Elon Musk, former President Donald Trump sparked a social media frenzy due to his noticeably slurred speech and a new lisp that many viewers found surprising. The interview, which marked Trump's return to X (formerly Twitter) after his 2021 ban, drew mixed reactions as viewers speculated about the cause of his altered speech. Critics, including journalist Jonathan Lemire, voiced concerns over Trump's appearance, calling it a “dark, dystopic picture” of America. Trump, however, took to Truth Social to address these concerns, attributing his voice issues to technical glitches and praising Musk for his endorsement. He also released a revised recording of the interview to clarify the situation. Explore the reactions and Trump's defense in this provocative video.

Middle-Aged Americans Are, Underprepared for Retirement, , Study Finds.
'Newsweek' reports that people in the United States
who are approaching retirement age may be critically
underprepared when it comes to their savings.
According to Prudential Investments, Americans around
the age of 55 are facing a "midlife retirement crisis,"
lacking the funds for a comfortable post-working life. .
A recent survey by the major insurance
provider found the average retirement
savings of a 55-year-old to be $47,950. .
This falls significantly short of the recommended
goal of having eight times a person's annual
income saved by the time they reach 55. .
According to the survey, 57% of 55-year-olds
said they expected to outlive the funds
they have currently managed to save.
That's compared to 59%
of 65-year-olds and
52% of 75-year-olds.
The survey also found that one-third of 55-year-olds
and 43% of 65-year-olds have already been forced
to postpone retirement due to inflation.
Attention today is rightly centered on
the approximately 11,000 65-year-olds
entering retirement every week, but we
must also focus as an industry on the
opportunity to help a slightly younger
generation of workers entering the
critical 10-year countdown to retirement, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head
of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'.
Further, the financial futures
of certain cohorts—such as
women—are especially precarious, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head
of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'.
The upside is that, with the right
planning and strategy to protect
their life's work, we can ensure
this generation is well-prepared
to live not only longer, but better, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head
of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'
