At the same time, that doesn’t mean that I have to like such protests at the Olympics. In point of fact, I don’t. That’s part of my freedom as an American, too. I can dislike such protests and I can say so openly....

We’re all familiar with ‘credit scores’, where financial institutions track how responsible you are with your hard-earned money to assign you a value determining the loans and cards you are eligible to apply for. However, a new scoring system being trialled in China (set to become standard practice by 2020) and currently under consideration in Europe is far less discussed despite the fact it may eventually become an integral part of our day to day lives.

Motherboard spoke to economists and historians about why fast food and retail workers around the country are suddenly quitting en masse. Something remarkable is happening in fast food establishments, retail stores, and restaurants across America. You may have seen photos of it go viral. You may have even experienced it in real life if you've dined at a Chili's or Applebee's and the hostess apologizes for extra-long wait times. “WE ALL QUIT, SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE,” disgruntled employees posted in giant letters on a sign outside a Burger King in Lincoln, Nebraska earlier this month.

With U.S. debt having soared to all-time highs and massive budget deficits as far as budgeters can see, the progressive refrain is the same: "ensure the wealthy pay their fair share." But a new tax wish list put out by 80 progressive groups shows that the math simply doesn't add up. Even in their wildest dreams of taxing the wealthy, they can't close the current budget deficit, much less pay for their new spending priorities like Medicare For All or the Green New Deal. The progressive soak-the-rich fantasy includes a wealth tax, a higher corporate tax rate, a higher estate...

Gov. Cuomo tried to rewrite history Monday by portraying himself as having never fudged the facts about the COVID-19 pandemic and its devastating, deadly impact on New York. During a Yankee Stadium news conference at which he outlined plans to boost vaccination rates in various communities, Cuomo insisted that he’s never lied to New Yorkers on the subject of the coronavirus. “I am telling you as I sit here, I have told you the facts on COVID from Day One,” he said. “Whether they were easy, whether they were hard — I told you the truth.” But Cuomo’s version of...

She looked to be in tears as she left the mat and then soon walked out of the arena floor with a trainer from USA Gymnastics. She did not appear to suffer any obvious physical injury...
