President Donald Trump said Sunday that Iran has agreed to “the majority” of a list of 15 demands that the United States sent through Pakistan to end the war. Asked whether Iran had complied with these points, the president told reporters on the Air Force plane: “They gave us most of the points. Why didn’t they respond?” “They agree with our plan. We asked for 15 things, and in most cases we’re going to ask for a few more,” Trump continued. The Iranian government did not immediately accept the 15-point plan last week. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi previously acknowledged…

Affordability has gone from being a dry financial term to an all-purpose hot button. Groceries, health care, child care, cars, gas — you name it, and affordability is attached to it these days. And then there’s housing, one of the stickiest issues in America’s affordability discussions. On March 12, the U.S. Senate passed a massive housing bill addressing affordability and supply, mostly of single-family homes. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, chock-full of more than 40 provisions, garnered rare — by today’s rancorous political standards — bipartisan support, tallying a 89-10 vote. The bill features a slew of financing, permitting, zoning and environmental reforms aimed at lowering housing costs and speeding up new home construction.  The House passed an equally bipartisan, if pared-down version in February. The Senate bill, which adopted many of House provisions, now…

Pets are part of the care process and employers are paying attention.Back-up care for pets is becoming a popular work perk, along with back-up care for children and elderly parents, as companies expand benefits to accommodate the various care needs of their employees.Back-up care is short-term support, often subsidized by employers, used when regular arrangements fail. The need is growing across the U.S., especially as more companies require employees to fully return to the office. Approximately 59 million Americans will provide care for family members, neighbors, and friends in 2024, totaling up to 49.5 billion hours of care and an…

OpenAI’s decision last week to shut down its AI video generation tool Sora, just six months after its public release, sparked immediate suspicion. The app asked users to upload their faces, but was this some kind of elaborate data collection? According to a new WSJ study, the real explanation is pretty boring. Sora was a treasure trove of untapped gold, and keeping it alive was costing OpenAI in its AI race. So what happened? After a splashy launch, Sora’s global user base peaked at about 1 million, but has since declined to less than 500,000. During that time, the app…

Despite recent fluctuations in precious metal prices, Chinese jewelery company Laopujin still has significant upside potential, analysts say. Over the past two years, Hong Kong-listed Laopu has become an upstart on China’s luxury scene, reportedly captivating local audiences – and LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault – with its gold jewelery craftsmanship. Laopu’s popularity soared last year as gold prices soared, with the stock’s total return exceeding 160%.
